Dakota, is a native runaway. She ran away from her tribe, to see the world. The reason she ran away was because she didn't feel like she belonged. Dakota is very spirtual. Along her journey she meets someone who changes her life FOREVER.

I'm 16 and have no where to go. My family hates me and my friends betrayed me. Yup... I'm a loner. I'm Dakota Andrews and here's my story. Dakota wasn't always this way. Her secret slipped when she was 13 years old. Her life flipped from good to horrible. She wants to run away. But when she gets tickets to the famous rock band Black Veil Brides, things change.

//dəˈkəʊtə// Meaning, ❝friend or ally.❞ ╌╌╌ "It's ironic, isn't it? How my name has the meaning 'friend', when I don't even have any." "You have me."

Dakota Peters is a simple girl. She is okay with surviving high school with her friends, her brother, and her pathetic crush on Caleb Fisher. She has been pining over Caleb since freshman year, but is totally okay with just admiring from afar because she knows that she's too awkward and weird to actually have a boyfriend. Dakota's life is pretty simple this way, pathetically stalking an improbable crush and that's how she's happy living her life until, of course, things get complicated. There's a new boy in town just as another one of her brother's friends confesses feelings for her just as Caleb begins to take notice to her. With all three things happening at once, it's overwhelming for Dakota because she isn't used to boys actually liking her back. She was content with stalking from afar with no real love interest, but now she has three and that's not okay with her. Not to mention her secret manhunt to find her mother, who abandoned her family when she and her brother were four. How can she get through the last half of senior year with all of this abnormal drama going on around her?
