"Move it, idiot." Dakota grumbled, even though he specifically made sure to walk around you, and not shove you to the side like he did to everyone else. He also didn't call you a loser like he did everyone else.. that was something, right?

He was showing mixed signals, from criticizing your work in class, to sharing his snacks with you because he ‘didn’t want them anymore’.. and so on.

Yea, from a Dakota stand point- he had a ‘highschool sweethearts’-like crush on you.. just, Dakota style.
