This would probably be a good time to introduce myself. Hey, I'm Dakota, but most of my friends call me Cody for short. I attend Bulkeley High School - a madhouse in Hartford, Connecticut that barely deserves the title "high school." I mean, it's a great school and all, but most of the students attending remind me of animals. They lack manners and respect. Now that I think about it, there isn't really a real high school in this world today that is full of completely perfect students who never talk out of line and always use "ma'am" and "sir." That's just unreasonable, but whatever.
My two best friends, Liz and Tommy, probably belong in a mental institution. They're the craziest people I know, but I still love them.
Liz and I became friends 9 years ago when she body slammed me on the school playground, yet immediately apologized and asked if I was alright. I basically trust Liz with everything now. She's been there for me in both my brightest and darkest moments. I guess she just has all the right words to say.
I met Tommy freshman year, but we've been best friends since. He shares the same characteristics that Liz shares. In fact, I introduced him to her.
Everything was great until..
