             ( giving good first impressions had                    n e v e r been his strong point. )

                   ‟ i-i'm sorry !!!                                   i don't really... know this place that well. ”                                ( dakota held a candle to complete intimidation, that was for sure.. )

         ❛—— —— bonnie. my name is bonnie. fair question ; what brought you to a town such as this one?❜

                   ‟ i like your name,            oh, yeah,                 i'm just visiting. it's pretty small here and                              i was wandering, you know? ”

         ❛excuse me —— who are you e x a c t l y ?                     if my memory serves me correctly,                      i don’t remember meeting you.❜

                   ‟ oh, no i wouldn't have thought you would; i'm dakota.                                      kind of new here, i guess. ”

           Stretching his arms above his head, the dark haired boy let out a soft sigh as the afternoon rays woke him up. Another night, another couple of hours spent sleeping on the grass of…who knew where.

                   ‟ oh, thank god you're awake, i thought you died. ”

       ❝—— oi, pipsqueak! mind      telling me where the hell i am?❞

                   ‟ oh, um, you're in ohio.                                     i mean, most likely. ”                                                    ( she wasn't gonna lie-- he was intimidating. )

          ❝ well, it’s clearly not lit, nor is smoke expelling from my lips,            so if they don’t realize that, that’s their problem, not mine. ❞

                   ‟ that's actually really smart,                                           i'd never think of that.                                         i'm dakota, by the way. ”

                 ————— it’s a metaphor. ❞

                   ‟ oh. but doesn't that get you in trouble in general?                i mean if you walk around like that some people give you dirty looks. ”

   ”Bloody hell. That’s such a     bad idea & you know it.”

                   ‟ We can revise it if it doesn't make you happy. ”

                 ‘cause kyle, charlie, caleb, crystal, nina…                       …. they’re all fucking dead. ❞

                   ‟                         they are?                                    well    it was a bad town, i didn't think...                                               oh.                 i'm sorry. ”

             ❝ yeah, well, i was a lot of people’s first kiss.                      ———  you don’t particularly stand out. ❞

                   ‟ I get that a lot.                                     But, uh, it's nice to see you again.. ”

       ❝ ———— don’t mention that place to me.       &, uh, most of my childhood is a blur now.       so you’re gonna have to be more specific. ❞
