The sound of guns firing snaps me out of my thoughts. I scream and duck down, only to realize that it was the TV. I look up to the living room and watch Dakota crawl back to the couch and turn her head to the men shooting at each other on the screen.
"Hey!" I say, offended that she'd rather do the unthinkable than listen to me. I hold up the remote and mute the TV again.
Dakota throws her hands in the air and glares at me. "Seriously?"
"You're being rude!"
"No, you're being annoying."
"Dakota! If you wanted to talk to me about your friends, wouldn't you want me to listen?"
"No," she says matter-of-factly. "I wouldn't want you informed on my social life." She studies her nails and flicks something across the room. "Besides, I'd never get to say anything even if I wanted to. You're always talking about your boyfriend."
"He's not...!" I say, but I choke and turn away before continuing. "He's not my boyfriend."
"Didn't he buy you that ring?"
"It was candy!" I hold up the candy ring, with all the candy gone.
"Fine then, I guess I'll just call him that guy you follow around like a lovesick puppy that only lets you follow him because you're blonde."
"Hey!" I say again, reaching up to touch my hair. "That's offensive, you know!"
"Maybe I'll be nicer if you turn the volume on and hand me the remote."
I frown, running my fingers through my hair. No way was I a lovesick puppy!
...was I?
