"Yeah classes! Uh bye!"

"Yeah, classes! Uh bye!" You say as you get dragged along with Dakota. When you walk away you see Veronica walk up to James and start talking to him. You can't hear what they are saying but it seems that Veronica is timid around him.

When you finally stop walking with Dakota you turn around to him. "You alright Dakota? You usually don't act this way. All grabby and protective." You say. He gives out a sigh and rubs his forehead.

"Yeah, it just... Ugh, I'm sorry if I was stepping out of my boundary." He says apologizing. He scratches his head and looks at you. "It just I care a lot for you, Alex. More than anything in the world." He says.

You punch his arm hearing this response. "Come on, don't get mushy on me." You say as you can't really get mad at Dakota. He then sighs and looks at you. "You know what! Maybe James is not that bad. I can't stop you from making new friends." He says.

"Don't worry Dakota! The trio will always come first." You say trying to reassure him. He smiles and punches your arm playfully. He bids you goodbye and you head into your next class with Ash.
