Harry's POV
I was still wide awake in my bed, not being able to fall asleep until I could've sworn I heard the window open. I saw Dakota hop out the window and walk in the woods, so me being curious, I followed her. After a little while spying on her, she approached a small but well-built tree house.
"Hey Dakota," I said stupidly
"Oh my god! What are you doing, how did you find me, you should've been asleep! What are you..." she rambled.
"Did you build this?"
"Yeah. I thrive at math. Built this at night secretly. No one knows this, but I have some... anger issues, and what helps to relieve that anger is writing harsh, hurtful words in journals. I can't keep them at the house cause we clean the hole house from top to bottom every Saturday. So if you ever want to keep anything a secret, you could always, I guess, keep some stuff here maybe."
"How many journals do you have?" I asked
"Well, I usually fill one journal a year, so about eight. I also paint, so this is where I keep my projects."
"C-can I see them?" I ask hopefully.
"I-I don't know," she stuttered, "I don't know you that well, but maybe when I get to know you better, you can see some of my artworks."
"Then come on a date with me! Tomorrow." I asked, desperate to get to know her more.
"Is this just a way to get to know me better quicker?"
"Maybe..."
"Well, I'd love to go out with you tomorrow."
