{2} What's that like?

Dakota

First I'm nervous about my first day, then I run into a human whose literally the essence of art, I get his number, and now I find out we have the majority of our classes together, including my first one today, English.

I walk into the classroom a bit overwhelmed at first "you can just sit with me" Michael suggests and I nod while following him to the table in the back of the classroom

"Good morning class, I'd like everyone to welcome Miss Dakota Adams, she will be joining us in study! We are so pleased to have you, where are you coming from?" My english teacher, Mr. Steward, asks me and I bite my lip nervously as everyone stares.

"I-um New York" I stutter and my cheeks go aflame with embarrassment

"Man, you have a cool ass name and you're from New York? Damn" Michael mutters quietly to me

"Is there something you'd like to share Mr. Clifford?" Our teacher raises an eyebrow at Michael "Uh no, I was telling her that her name is cool, I'm not trying to sell weed under the table sir, not this time at least" Michael laughs and I look at him and furrow my eyebrows

How could someone ever say something like that so confidently...to a teacher? Mr. Steward sighs deeply "I'd like to not send you to the office this early in the day Mr. Clifford." he states and Michael shrugs

"It wouldn't be a first sir" Michael states nonchalantly

"Michael stop" I mumble quietly to him and he glances at me

"I can say what I please doll face" he grumbles

We go through the rest of the class without a word and then the bell rings "I don't have that class with you" he mumbles

"Can you still take me there?" I bite my lip and he sighs and once he looks at me he stares for a few seconds "I guess so, yeah, my mate Luke is in that class" I nod

We walk to the Astronomy class and Michael walks in with me and his eyes scan the room "Hemmings" he calls out and a very tall blonde boy with piercing blue eyes looks our way and smirks when he sees me. He walks out way "hello gorgeous" he winks at me "I'm Luke"

I giggle and blush "I'm Dakota, I ran into Michael this morning by mistake" I state and then Michael butts in "Yeah, she's new here and I found out she has a lot of the same classes as me" Michael gives Luke a cold stare and Luke completely ignores it

"Well you can sit with me babe, Michael isn't in this class, but I'll keep ya company" he flashes me a smile and I take in his appearance. His hair is styled all messy and he wears a black and grey striped sweater with black skinny jeans, he has plugs in his ears and a lip piercing. "Thank you" I mumble shyly and I feel my cheeks go pink "I sit over there" he points out his desk and I look at Michael "I'll see you" he nods and I make my way over to the desk beside Luke's.

I glance over at the two boys and I see Luke hand Michael a few cigarettes and Michael puts them in his container and then shoved it in his pocket, he sees I'm watching their interaction and a smile forms on Michael's face. He winks at me which causes me to giggle and shake my head.

Luke comes over and plops in the seat next to mine "so what've you got next?" He asks and I pull out my schedule "music" he sits up excitedly "Michael and I are in that class, along with our friend Nate" I nod "then I have lunch" I tell him and he laughs "Don't expect Mike to be there, he usually skips out the rest of the day" I nod and I'm slightly sad internally because Michael looked so happy to see we have classes together and he's not even gonna be there.

"I skip out with him sometimes, but I have a math test" Luke explains and then class starts.

-music-

Luke walks me to music and I learned that I really like Luke, he seems like a really cool guy and he actually did talk to me during class, unlike Michael. "Hey Dakota" Michael calls from across the room and my face goes red. Thanks Michael, everyone is staring at me now. Perfect.

I walk over to him with Luke "hey babe, I realized that you never gave me your number? I just gave you mine" he grins and I pull out my phone and text him

To: Funky Punk

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
He pulls out his phone and reads my text and laughs "sorry babe" he smirks and I roll my eyes. Why is he so annoying now? Ever since I told him to stop in English he's been annoying to me. Luke sees the annoyance on my face and whispers in my ear "Don't let Mike get to you, he's always like this" I nod at his words and Michael side glances us and he pulls out his phone

I look over at him and roll my eyes and pay attention to the class "Hey Luke didn't you say your other friend was in here too?" I ask him and he nods "Yeah Nate, I think he's actually sick though, left early Friday and stayed home all weekend"

He looks at me "what do you actually do music wise?" He chuckles and I smile "I sing" he raises his eyebrows at my words "the shy girl sings? Well damn" I laugh at his words

Michael

What the fuck Luke? I literally told him this morning about my encounter with her and said I called dibs and he's totally flirting with her freely in front of me and I know it's only gonna progress, so I guess I'm not skipping. Ugh.

The bell rings and I walk to the cafeteria with them "I thought you were skipping?" Dakota asks and I nod "yeah I was, but I figured I shouldn't leave you here on your first day alone, that would be a dick move" I shrug and she just looks at me and then looks away "Luke we're going to our area ri-" he cuts me off "of course we are Mike, where else would we sit?" I nod

We make our way to the picnic tables outside and I pull out my cigs and bring one to my mouth and light the tip. I inhale and let the nicotine invade me, letting any stress or strain immediately wash away. I see Dakota glance at me and I smirk and take another drag "What's that like?" She mumbles "Hm?" I look at her "smoking, what's that like? Do you feel it?" She looks curious and kinda confused and I laugh

"It takes away the stress, wanna drag doll face?" I hold out my cigarette for her and she reluctantly takes it and Luke watches

"Dakota, you don't have to" he mutters as he eats his burger and she completely ignores him and she puts it in her mouth and takes an inhale and I watch her as she gives me back the cig and coughs, I chuckle

"Oh sorry about the lipstick" she mutters and I see the red circle around it and I shrug and continue smoking "it's okay love"

I see her blush and I mentally give myself a high five
