Dakota was staring straight ahead, completely focused on her mother sitting at the pool and laughing with friends, waving her over. It took her less than a second to start over to the woman and she was barely phased when she started to push through people. That was until she got into a head on collision with another girl who seemed about her age. “Oh fuck- I’m really sorry. I was just-” She looked towards her mother and saw that she was gone, sighing and figuring she had gone inside for another drink. “I’m sorry. I’m Dakota.”
