two
flames within
When Dakota finally succeeded in dragging her luggage to the first floor, glad her room wasn't on the second even though she was exaggerating
a bit, she only saw a glance of someone entering his or her room. Besides that The hall was only filled with the sound of someone's music blasting
through speakers. She checked if the door was open already, but found it still locked so she grabbed the keys the woman gave her when she
assigned her her room. On the exact moment she was shoving the key into the keyhole she heard a loud noise coming from one of the other
rooms, she looked to the side quickly and then silence followed. Dakota frowned lightly, wondering what was happening in there already.
They only arrived for like fifteen minutes or so. Not long for sure. She pushed the door open with her shoulder and dragged her luggage inside.
Her thoughts were playing backwards to figure out if she heard Juliette mention a roommate for her, but she couldn't find it anywhere. Probably
missed it. She hoped there was someone as her roommate though, so she wouldn't be completely alone. Maybe she's just late she thought
before she pushed the subject to the side. It was time to see what type of room this was.
"They could've made this more cozy" she chuckled as she shook her head lightly. For a moment she took the time to look around, but there
wasn't much to see in the symmetrical room. Everything on the left was also on the ride side of the room. Dakota dropped her luggage on the
right bed of the room, claiming it as hers. First things first, she knew she hated to unpack things after a long day so she figured it would be
a good idea to do that all right now so she could explore a bit for the rest of the day. She realised she had actually no idea of a schedule or
something like that. She tossed her jacket on her bed and started to sort out her clothing into her closet. Knowing herself it would stay like
that for a few days, and it'd be a mess. But she knew the right solution to that: planning one day to sort it all out again. Then it would be sorted
out again for a while until the next week. Once she was done she placed her macbook on the desk that stood againt the wall, together with her personal
notebook and some things she usually kept in her backpack. After that she threw herself on the bed, waiting for anything to happen.
The thoughts started to come again, she realised she had seen so many different emotions on people's faces. But she herself was still barely
in any mood. It was just the regular feeling. Not happy, not sad, not irritated not mad etcetera etcetera, just nothing. Dakota didn't know why
she couldn't 'switch' to herself. Before she had to be this way, if she was letting her feelings run everything it would've get her killed. In the underground
business it all worked so differently. Like it was normal to turn off your feelings and just be reckless. How was it going to be here?
