The Day Night Took Over

Chapter 3: Dakota Reed (Dakota)

Well you see here is the thing…I am a partier. There I said it. Anyone who is around me must be a partier or else it doesn’t work. I could tell Eliza wasn’t a partier but she did have promise. As she walked out of her dorm building you could see the tiniest bit of cleavage coming out of her tight shirt.  Her hair was pulled into a ponytail but the few strands that fell out framed her face and accentuated her girly smirk. I could tell that in a few weeks she would be just like every other girl as this school, a slut. But there was something about her that made me want to preserve her innocence. Hey don’t judge I’m not attracted to her, yeah she’s pretty but I snagged the prettiest girl in school Mona.

            Mona is so beautiful she has tan skin like mine and soft brown hair that makes me go crazy. Her smile melts me every time and her laugh is like the call of an angel. She’s also very smart and über sexy. She has straight As and knows how to party. She keeps me sober and helps me to keep from going back to my days as an alcoholic. I love her and she loves me.

            However I know that she still has feelings for her ex and the thought that she may leave me for him is so painful, that I sometimes has a drink. Only one but still one too many. Nothing I do for her will ever keep those thoughts from popping into my head everyday. Not until she leaves or I leave, but we both know that that will never happen.

            “So like I said I’ve never been away from home like this and I am just so nervous that no one will like me. You’ll help me make friends wont you? Dakota? Dakota are you even listening”

            “Yeah Yeah sorry I just have a lot on my mind and I just needed some time to think didn’t think that you would notice. Sorry.”

            “No its ok my rambling on does get boring so I don’t blame you.”

            “So anyway, like I was saying before welcome to Oakwood. Here are somethings you should know. The whole campus is centered around the green. Which is where we are standing. That building over there is the science and math building. And there is the dinning hall. English and history classes are all in that black building over there. The woods are off limits…unless invited by someone in the Q. The school store and li-”

            “Something tells me that you are apart of the Q aren’t you.”

            “Umm” then suddenly my phone beeped with a text from Mona Where r you babe u said u wuld meet me @ the library so we culd study 4 the test u better hurry if u wanna make it to the Q b4 dinner.

            Shit. I totally forgot I had a study date with her at the same time as Eliza’s tour. Shit shit shit.

            “Hey Eliza you wouldn’t mind if I dashed off I have a huge test tomorrow and I really need to study. You know how to get to your dorm from here right.”

            “Yeah I guess.”

            “Ok great I’ll meet you in front of your dorm at 7 so I can show you the way to the dinning hall.”

Then I ran off and left a shocked and slightly pissed off Eliza behind me. Oh well she’ll be fine I shot off a text to everyone on my list saying to watch out for her so she’s in many good hands.

“Hey babe” said Mona as I walked into the library. “One decaf low foam, 2 pumps of mocha coffee for you with 2 splendas. I’m not sure if you deserve it though for being so late.”

“I’m sorry. I had to watch over this new girl and then she wanted me to give her a tour. Sorry hun.” I said as I kissed her on the cheek. “So about tonight, we don’t really have a test tomorrow do we?”

“Nah we just needed to be alone so we could talk about tonight’s Q. So I was thinking maybe that we bail and just have a quiet night to ourselves instead. Or we can go and watch all of our friends make fools of themselves as we make out. And do nothing else but make out.” She said slyly. Oh how she makes me weak at the knees I knew that if she left me that I would go mad. No one could replace her ever.

“Dakota I something important to tell you. As you know I applied to so a semester in London, and I was accepted. I leave in 3 days. I was going to tell you later after Q, but I couldn’t keep it a secret any more. I’m sorry. I should have told you earlier, but ya know how busy I have been, and I just thought that if I told you right before I left it would make it easier. I am so sososososo sorry that was the stupidest thing not telling you-”

No. No! that’s all I could think of then my world turned to darkness
