Chapter 5, Henry
I was both excited and nervous to finally meet Dakota. I didn't know much about her, but I figured she couldn't be worse than Selena.
I was waiting on the porch when they arrived, a smile formed on my lips. Dakota was holding my mother's hand. The girl looked around curious and confused, but she didn't look scared until the moment her eyes met mine. She quickly hid behind my mother's back, like a shy toddler. My mom told her something I couldn't hear, but the girl nodded in response. Dakota let go of my mother's hand and slowly walked to me. I smiled gently at her. "Hey" I said, "I'm Henry".
The girl didn't reply but she smiled a little, I took it as a good sign.
