It Started With a Book

The Encounter

I do not own the art for the chapter cover if you know who drew that please let me know, the drawing of this girl and guy is kinda what I imagined Aaron and Julie to look like.

"I'm looking for a book"

Could this guy not look around for the book?

"Oh what book?"

It's probably some stupid book.

"It's um the importance of saving I think?"

"You Think?" 

He gave me a weird look and I realized I said that out-loud.

"way to go Julie" I whisper under my breath.

"What?"

Did I say that too loud?!

"I'm sorry just follow me."

Great another person who thinks i'm a weird person.

"The book should be on this shelf."

"Okay thanks uhh what was you name?"

"Julie Witmore nice to meet you."

I held out my hand as and offer to shake his, He looks at my hand and grabs it.

"Anderson, Aaron Anderson the pleasure is mine."

He bows and kisses my hand.

"Quite the charmer ehh?" I pull my hand away and put them behind my back 

"Growing up my mother taught me to respect women so sure."

Thats a shocker the guys at Grandridge prep are usually all jerks.

"Well she sounds like an amazing mother."

"She really is it's a shocker how my dad got her."

"Awe give you dad some credit unless he's a jerk then don't"

He laughed honestly it's nice to have a lighthearted conversation with someone other than Angie and Chris.

XXXXXXXX

"Look Julie you can't just order fries and nothing else at least get a drink"

"Haha no you get 5 large fries and pretend you are on the phone ordering for more people so they don't look at you weird."

"I have no words... at all."

We both pause and laugh

"Well Julie I'll talk to you later I gotta go."

"See you around!"

I wave him bye as he walks out of the library and catch a glimpse of the time.

"ITS BEEN TWO HOURS!?!"

"SHHHHHH!!!!"

I grab my bag and start running home and of course it's raining.
