Thank You Ms. Dakota

~1~

I hummed softly as I pushed my cart down the aisle searching for flour. I planned on making cookies today because the weather was perfect, it was a nice breeze and fall temperature the leaves were slightly starting to change color as well.

after I found the usual flour I use I headed to the dairy section so I could grab some milk, Scarlett used the last little bit for her cereal this morning.

As I was opening the fridge a little girl came running up to me, she was absolutely adorable.

" Hi I love your hair" she smiled up at me making me return the smile. " Thank you I like yours too" I replied realizing she had curls as well.

" What's your name" she asked. " My name is Arabella what's yours" I looked around for one of her parents but there was nobody near except for me and her, I mean it is pretty late not much people are shopping this late.

" My name is Calista my mom said it means i'm the most beautiful ever" she said beaming as she smiled, I had then notice she had ice cream in her hands.

" Where is your mom" I questioned making her frown. " i got ice cream and I go back and she wasn't there" she replied as she looked around.

"Come on let's go look for her" I took the ice cream from her hands seeing as she was struggling to hold it and took her hand before walking around to find her mother.

After passing a few aisle she Gasped excitedly before running. " mommy" she yelled excitedly as her mother turned around and she looked relieved.

" Calista I told you about walking off" her mother scolded. " I  met this nice lady abella I think" Calista said making her mom look up at me.

" Arabella" I smiled as I held my hand out, the lady just stared at it. " Thank you for helping her but we should get going" she said making me look at her, Her italian accent caught me off guard.

" oh here's her ice cream she picked out she was struggling to hold it" I smiled as I handed it to her making her nod.

" yea thanks" she said before her and Calista left. I finished up my shopping before heading to check out.

" Maybe she thought you were cute" Scarlett smirked as she put the chocolate chips in the cookie batter.

" well she should've said something plus she looked older anyway that never would've worked." I replied making her roll her eyes.

" girl your a liar older women are so hot and she's a mom I would be on my knees" she shook her head before putting the cookies in the oven to bake.

" whatever are you staying the night?" I questioned her. " when do I not" I laughed at her response before turning away and going to my room.

after the cookies were finished me and Scarlett sat down and watched a movie before going to bed.

after a night full of sleep I woke up to my alarm going off I got up and brushed my teeth and washed my face then I got all my hair products out to start my hair.

" First day of college " Scarlett cheered as she walked into my bathroom. " why are you cheering that's nothing to be excited about" I grabbed a hair tie so I could put my hair into a half up half down.

" It's an accomplishment some people can't go to college" she shrugged as she plugged in my straighter for her hair.

" plus you never know you might find your lover here" she smiled before walking out the room making me roll my eyes.

I walked out my bathroom not too long after to pick out an outfit for the day.

" you look cute" she jumped at the sound of my voice " you scared me and thank you" I laughed before heading into my closet.

she was wearing light grey ripped jeans a black crop top with black and white vans.

I ended up choosing my black cargo pants and a grey hoodie since the weather was cooler today and I slipped on some nike dunks.

I sat in the kitchen waiting for Scarlett to be done, I was nervous this was our first year of college what if it's too much on us?

I threw my worries away when scarlett came out her hair freshly straightened and her black bag hanging over her shoulder.

" you okay" she questioned as she handed me my bag which she was holding. " yea sorry just thinking" I smiled taking my bag before we headed out.

" I have english 1 first" I looked down at the paper in my hand. " I have psychology" Scarlett said making me sigh.

" it's okay i'm sure we have classes together later have fun it's your first year and if you need anything you can text me" Scarlett told me calming my nerves a little bit.

" okay thank you i'll see you later" I replied before pulling my bestfriend into a tight hug after that we parted ways to go to our classes.

I walked into the classroom the teacher wasn't here yet that was good I had time to find a good seat.

most of the seats were taken but I found 1 last seat towards the top next to these 2 girls.

" may I sit here please" I asked making one of them turn towards me. " of course my name is miyka and this is pressley what's yours" she smiled sweetly.

"Arabella it's nice to meet you guys" I smiled before sitting down. Once I sat down I took the time to look around the room and I could see on the board it read.

'Ms. Dakota'

I just hope she's a nice teacher especially since I have to start my morning with her.

I was knocked out of my thoughts when I heard heels clicking against the floor.

" Everybody get your notebook and pens out" I heard and it was the same accent I heard yesterday at the store.

I looked at the lady in the front of the classroom and there she was. I Looked at her for a while before she must've felt my eyes on her and looked up.

Her blue eyes instantly found mine there was a flash of recognition in her eyes before she looked away and continued on.

someone in the first row raised their hand making her glare go towards them.

" what" she snapped at the girl. " I-are we not going to introduce ourselves" the girl questioned earning an eye roll from our teacher.

" no this isn't elementary school we don't do that anymore" she said before turning away to write on the board.

after a long class of writing notes to prepare for our first assignment the class finally ended.

I started packing my stuff into my bag when I felt eyes on me, I looked around before I made eye contact with ms. Dakota.

" Arabella. stay behind" she said as she nodded towards me. I sighed softly zipping up my book bag and throwing it on my shoulder as I watched everyone else quickly exit the room.
