Chapter two: Answers

Dakota stood in the kitchen, pulling pieces of lettuce, and placing them on his sandwich to top it off. He put the top layer of bread and sat his masterpiece on a plate. He sat down at the dinner table, and took a bite out of his sandwich.

*Ring-Ring-Ring*

Dakota's phone began to ring loudly. He stood and ran to answer the phone.

He picked it up,"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Safiya," she answered back.

"Oh from the coffee shop?" Dakota was confused.

"Yes, from the coffee shop," she replied.

"Oh, so what is it?" Dakota asked.

"Well, today I had my plans cancelled to meet with my friends, would you like to possibly come and just talk, or watch tv?" Safiya had the idea that he would say no, she asked nervously.

"I guess that would be okay, I really don't have anything to do today, thanks for inviting me," Dakota had a low tone in his voice.

"Everything alright?" Safiya could tell when something was wrong.

"Yeah, completely fine," He said trying to make his tone seem more joyful.

"Alright, I'm gonna let you go now, be over anytime now, or before twelve.My place is on North Candinsky Drive, the first house on the left.

"Okay, I'll call you before I leave, or I might surprise you," Dakota smirked in his mind.

"Okay, bye," Safiya said cheerfully.

"Bye," Dakota and Safiya said this at the same time and hung up.

Dakota stood in baggy sweatpants, and an old t-shirt. I've got to fix myself up, I might have a chance with this girl.

Dakota opened his closet door and swept through several shirts and neatly hung pants. His hands met a black t-shirt and he grabbed a grey pair of pants to match with his shirt. Dakota placed on his shirt, then his pants, and stepped towards the mirror. Nice. He thought to himself. As he stood in the mirror, he fixed his hair, and gently swept hair product through his hair to style it. After several strokes, he was satisfied with his hair. He realized that he had forgotten to put in his shoes. He grabbed a pair of white vans and gently placed them on his feet and tied them swiftly. He brushed his teeth in a hurry, and grabbed his keys.

"Alright I think I'm gonna just head over. North Candinsky drive," Dakota murmured to himself and closed the door behind him and locked it.

He pulled into the driveway of the first house on the left and pulled the keys out of the ignition. He opened the door and stepped out after opening the door and closed it behind him.

Safiya stepped out of the doorstep and looked Dakota up and down.

"Really dressed up huh?" Safiya said jokingly.

"Yeah, guess I tried," Dakota chuckled as he approached the door step.

"Hey we gotta keep it down, my friend who is staying for university is staying here," Safiya whispered as she led Dakota inside.

"Oh, I'll keep that in mind. Nice place you've got here," Dakota said while his eyes explored all over the home.

"Thanks, it's my parents place," she laughed.

"Oh, that's cool," Dakota smiled.

The oven beeped.
