Dakota Moore is a conflicted teen wrestling with faith and friendship, and each new person she meets brings a new adventure–and some are more dangerous than others.
Immediately behind Sophia, Makayla and Teagan leaned out, one to the left and one to the right, like some three-headed monster from Greek mythology. One head was snarling, and the other two seemed eager or anxious.
Sophia’s adenoidal voice was immediately recognizable. She was the one critiquing Taylor’s wardrobe. She wore long, laser-straight blonde hair. If there was any natural wave to it, she had flat ironed it into submission. Everything about her was tense and in line…Her ice-blue eyes scanned the room. A hawk, a predator, scanning for prey.
Makayla’s form-fitting blue and white flowered woven halter top hugged her torso like a second skin, leaving little to the overactive imagination of teen boys. Without the ponytail holder today, her billowing curls encircled her head like a black frizzy halo.
Teagan’s acid-washed jeans featured a faded white stripe that slowly circled up her legs like a slimy eelpout. A toad-green spaghetti strap top hung loosely from her angular alabaster shoulders…Teagan could be cruel, but the green windows to her soul screamed uncertainty.
