Dawn walked into the chemistry building to find the teacher there waiting for her. “Dawn Newberry, I presume?”“Yes, sir.” She said as she looked up to him with her bright blue eyes.“I see it now.” He said with a soft smile. “The admissions board contacted me and some of the others to discuss you. We have a few minutes before class begins, so I would like to talk with you myself before allowing you into the classroom.”“Okay,” Dawn said as she looked at the man whom she could easily read as one of those professors who took safety seriously and was proud of what he had achieved in his life. She understood these people. They had worked to build a good structure in their classrooms. She could easily distract from that.“Why are you here?” He asked.“To learn.” She replied.“That i

He stood up and began to get ready to walk out. “Where are you going next?” he asked as he looked down at her. She already felt small, but when he stood up, he dwarfed her. She had to crane her neck backward to see his face.“I have an hour off, and then I have an English class,” Dawn said as she grabbed her bag.“Mrs. Little?” he asked as he made his way to the door.“Yeah, How did you know?” Dawn asked.“I have the same class.” He laughed. “Come on, kid. We can go there together.”Dawn had no idea that meeting someone who would be nice would be easy here. She thought they would all think she was a freak like the others she had known. Her friends couldn’t play with her anymore. Their parents didn’t like her now that she was different. They all looked at her weirdly. They looked at her parents, though with anger. Dawn kne

The pair were seen together through the days from fall to spring. They had three classes together, and those were the ones he wasn’t having trouble in. She spent most of her free time tutoring him on the other three. Because of her, he was passing now, and they laughed about it. They talked almost every day as well. Over the breaks it was weird to have the other one not around. Though it didn’t change once they were back together again.“Mav!” She said as she came running up to the bench. They always met up at before the long walk to one of the buildings.“What, Kid?” He asked as he looked up to see her flushed and smiling. At seven in the morning, she was never that happy. He knew this was going to be good.“You remember that astrological science group that meets here on campus on Friday nights and also Saturday’s?” She asked as he w

Over the summer, they attended the meetings, with her father dropping her off and Maverick bringing her back to the farm later in the evening. The next day was often the worst for her because she would still get up before the sunrise to do the chores she had been assigned. The fact she was different didn’t get her any special treatment on the farm. She was okay with that. Her parent's divorce was being dragged out in the court system even though all the kids had said who they wanted to live with already, and their parents were not contesting that at all.Maverick knew that she had told the courts she didn’t care who she had to live with. Her father had taken most of the custody when it came to her, but it was still a problem because of her being in college and her needing a ride to and from school. Her mother had little to no contact with her. Dawn wasn’t all that surprised by that either. He was, though. He had n

“What do you mean you can’t take me home because no one is there?” She asked with wide eyes. “You do realize I am there all the time with no one there. Plus, some of the workers are there.”“People who have no place watching you.” He said as she huffed, and he began to laugh. “Stop acting like your surprised, Dawn. You know by now I am not going to let you be in a situation that could end badly.”“Mav, fine, I will call a taxi.” She said as she looked at him.“Like hell, you are.” He replied. “The deal I have with your father is that I am watching you until I take you home.”“But you aren’t really watching me. I am not a baby that needs twenty-four-hour watching Maverick.” She said. She was mad and upset. He saw that clearly as he looked at her. He didn’t want to have this argument with her in the f

The drive to the farm wasn’t all that long. Though he knew this was not probably the smartest thing to do, he couldn’t argue with her. He honestly didn’t know why he voluntarily took this child as his responsibility, but he had as it seemed that no one else seemed to care what happened to her, including her family. They were the worst to her he had seen.Though she didn’t fit in at the university either. Most people ignored her and she was fine with that. She really didn’t try either.When they got there, even to his untrained eyes, the farm was huge. There were so many cows there in the open-walled barn that she didn’t seem to think anything was different. She went and opened the doors to the large farmhouse, and he followed her in. He saw the wall of photos that had to be her brothers and sisters that were scattered there just hanging up. He didn’t see many of her there. He didn&rsquo

“Excuse me?” Maverick said in a deep growl, and the shadow came to a halt. They looked around and saw him. “I do not believe that she needs any company.”The person bolted out of the hallway and then out one of the doors. Maverick could breathe a bit better after realizing that he had saved her from probably some more trauma. Now he really didn’t want her to be alone. This was the final straw.He went over to the door and opened it and saw she was fast asleep, still on the bed. He shut the door behind him and went back to the couch though he thought it was too far away from her room. Whoever that was, knew she was supposed to be there by herself. That bothered him, but he couldn’t tell but generally who the other person was.He would have to look over the workers her father had there and see if he could see someone who met the description he had. This was not okay to him. It was planne

The first year of college for the two had ended. When Dawn thought he was going to go home and stay with his parents for the summer, he surprised her when he showed up to live in the small apartment housing that was for the workers on the farm. “Your dad hired me.” He said with a shrug. “I guess I get to learn about cows after all from the smartest person in the world.”“I am not the smartest person in the world.” She said as she helped him unpack his car.“You know the owner's daughter can’t be seen helping the lowest farmhand.” He chuckled.“Sure, I can.” She said, “No one even sees me most of the time.”“Dawn.” He said.“Don’t worry, I am not feeling sorry for myself or anything. Just stating a fact. I am good at being invisible.” She said. “So are we still on for the meetings every other Fri

The night pressed on, and Mav stayed by her side. She was nothing but smiles the entire night. A simple birthday cake seemed more than she had ever had before. She was as bright as the moon itself. Throughout the night, she seemed happier than he had ever seen her.“When you're done with babysitting the princess, you should come to hang out with some of us in the woods.” One of the girls whispered into his ear.“I am not babysitting,” Maverick said. “I am here with my friend.”“Sure.” She said as she looked at him. “I mean, if you really want to be stuck with a kid all night. I just thought you would like to come to hang out.”“Well, I don’t,” Maverick said. He scanned the area and saw her starting to yawn. Knowing that she had hadn’t slept well in the past few days because she had been so excited. “Dawn?” he walked up to her and hel

Over the next year, the two often met even though they only had two classes together. She was carrying a course load of three times as many classes as he was. She was serious about the number of degrees she would be working on. He thought there might be four or five by the time she was done adding to her interests.Dawn was as normal as she could be when she was around him. She had sensed there was something that he was keeping from her, but she also didn’t want to hear it if it was what she thought it might be. He was nineteen. She knew that in her bones every time she saw him. She was on borrowed time with him. She expected him to pull back from the friendship that the two had. Though it was odd, he never seemed to think it really was. She just went along with it, knowing sooner or later the one thing she thought was safe was going to leave her in the dust.Knowing him, he would find the perfect woman to go out with,
