He wore a light blue shirt and leather jacket, and had fluffy black hair that fell into his eyes if his head was tilted just right. He stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the tree by our table.
"And who's that?" I asked Dillon again, my voice going up an octave. I cleared my throat, trying to hide it. She laughed.
"That, Dakota, is the badass of our school. Never had a relationship, is pretty much always an asshole, and pretty boy's protection. Although, Pierce can handle himself. But we're sure Landon Hudson over there enjoys the fighting."
**************
Dakota Miller has a normal, routine life. Or did. Until her parents decided to move and make her switch schools. She manages to find a good group of people and keep a low profile, at least until the badass of the school swoops in and wreaks havoc. With him, he brings blood, money, drugs, and fighting into her life. As much as she hates it, she can't shake the feeling she gets from running with the bad boy.
"What's your problem?" He asks darkly.
"What's your problem?" I spit back.
"Why do you keep following me?" He hisses.
"I don't follow you!" I shout back.
"Then how come where ever I go you end up going or being there?" He questions in a raised voice.
"Its a coincidence." I say back in the same tone. He then moves forward towards me, and I take a step back but my back hits the brick wall. He puts his arms up his palms against the wall caging me in looking into my eyes. I won't look at him though, I look to the ground scared.
"Just leave me alone...stay away." He whispers in my ear before he walks away to his car with his head down.
