Dakotas POV
I boarded my flight to London and took a deep breathe in my seat, I tighteden my pony tail, setting gym bag onto the seat next to me, and pugging my head phones into my iPhone, and turing tables my Adele came on. I took a deep breath, closing my eyes, and setting my phone on the table thingy that comes out of the chair in front of you.
What ever thats called.
8 hours later (or how ever long it takes to fly to London).......
My eyelids fluttered open to see the boring airplane celing. I looked around to see people leaving, so I grabbed my carry gym bag stuffing my phone into it and walking out into the main part of the airport.
I went over to luggage thing, grabbed my big duffel, and went into the streets of London. When I got out side, it was nice, which I heard was weird, but kinda cold, so from my bag, I got out a grey zip-up hoodie, leaving it u-zipped, being the rebel I am.
I called a taxi, telling the guy the address, and he nodded, driving away from the airport. I pay him, stepping out of the cab, grabbing my bag, and walking into my dorm building, and walking to the lady at the front desk in the lobby, (IDK if dorm buildings have front desks, but whateves.)
I walked to my dorm room, unlocked it with the key, and saw 2 beds, both of which, were not taken, therefore, empty. When I started un-packing, I heard a knock at the door
"It's open." I said, calling it over my shoulder. I turned around to see the short, plump lady from the desk if the front of the building.
"Uh, miss Dakota Marks?"
"Yeah, thats me."
"I'm am sorry to inform you that your room mate, Miss. Bella Edwards will not be staying with you."
"Why?"
"Well, I just heard from the doctors that she is very ill, and has to many allergies that she could be easily exposed to."
"Oh, that's awful, but does that mean that I will get my own room?
"Yes dear."
"Alright, will that be all?"
"Uh no, the truck that your mother sent wiill be here some time tomorrow with the rest of your things."
"Ok thanks."
"Alright dear, have a nice day."
She smiled and waddled out the door. I sighed and looked around my bare dorm room that I woudl be living in for the next nine months. I walked over to my duffl and pulled it towards the closet. I started off with the clothes that I had packed. This was going to take a while.
Once I was finished with putting away my clothes, I pretty much had nothing much to do except unpack my gym bag I carried with me on the plane. I grabbed my apple laptop and set it on the desk, along with the book I was currently reading "The Choice" by Nicholas Sparks, and yes, I was reading a Nicholas Sparks book. I know, how girly. But after that, I just set out the drawing utensils that I had brought which was a minimum, just a sketchbook, a sharpener and a few pencils. Although I hasn't used any of these things, cause all i did was sleep the entire plane ride, I was glad I had them.
After, I was done packing, I decided to go to the gym. I pulled on an old lacrosse shirt that said "Fighting Bears Girls Lacrosse" on it, and black running shorts, along with black Nike shoes. I walked to the gym, and started on the treadmill. About ten minuets into my work out, the most gorgeous guy started running next to me. I looked over, and so did he, and he smiled and waved, I swear I almost died. I waved back and smiled, but to not make things more awkward, I just went back to running.
About a half an hour later, I was done working out, and I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to find the guy who ran next to me. God he looked smaxy. Wait, did I say smaxy? I can't think that!!!!!! I don't even know him! He smiled his perfect smile, and said, "Hello love, I couldn't help but noticed you running, and I have possiblely never seen one being be so perfect in a ll my life." He winked and held out a hand. " I'm Jack"
"I'm Dakota."
"Nice to meet you."
"Same."
"I was wondering if you would like to accompany me on a date, tonight, 7:00?"
"I would love to." I smiled.
"Here, I'll give you my number." I handed him my phone and he handed me his. He gave y phone back and I looked at the name he put himself as.
"Really? Jack the Sexiest man alive?"
"Really." He smirked. "I'll pick you up at 7. Bye Dakota....."
"Bye Jack" I chuckled, turning around. I looked over to see a guy standing with his mouth gaping open, starring at me. "Uh, can I help you?"
"Do you know who that is?!?!?!"
"Uh, yeah, Jack."
"No, he's not just Jack." He said in a hushed tone. "That's Jack Harries. The hottest guy in school."
"Your gay?"
"Yes, your straight?"
"Touché."
"Anywho, I'm Lou."
"Dakota."
"You wanna grab a coffee?"
"Uh, sure, lemme go back and change."
"K, see u at the Starbucks in 1/2 hour?"
"Sure, see ya then."
"Bye."
"Bye."
I walked back to my dorm room, and at the best time, there was boxes everywhere. It seems like the truck came a little early. I sighed and looked through the different boxes. First box, nothing. Second box, nothing. Third box....... Yes! Toiletries! I smiled and grabbed a towel, some shampoo and some conditioner before walking to the dorm bathroom. I showered and wrapped the towel around my boobs and one around my hair and made the short walk to my room, which was down the hall from the bathroom.
I opened the door, looking at the time, I still had 20 minuets until I was supposed to meet Lou, I decided to text Jack to see what I should wear.
'Hey Jack what should I wear for the date?' -Dakota. He replied almost immediately saying,
'Casual'
'Thanks :)'
'No prob love. C u 2nite :)'
I smiled at his text and finished drying myself off and put o some lotion. Then, I pulled on a bra and underwear. I looked at the change of clothes I grabbed and realized it l. I grabbed a pair on light ripped skinny jeans, a maroon long-sleeve, a white infinite scarf, and pulled on some socks.
Then I found my toiletries box again and found my hair dryer and my curler. I dried my blonde hair curled my hair to perfection, and adding some make-up. Nothing much, a light layer of mascara, EXTREMELY light layer of shimmery eyeshadow, but the layer was still so thin that you could barely see it, and my 'Cherry Me' baby lips. I had like 10 minuets, so I pulled on some black Vans, and sat down at my art table, and I have to say I drew a very realistic tree, with a little sitting and swinging on a swing. I looked at the time, 5 minuets, so I put the drawing on a bullition board, and grabbed like 25 dollars, and my phone, and walked out my door.
