Nini's POV
I am about to lock my car so I can go inside when I hear something I turn around and see a familiar face. "Ricky?" i say. He smiles. "I came here to share some news." He says. "Alright well come on in." "So what are you doing here staying at your grandparents house?" He asks. "Oh it's a long story." I say. "Isn't school in session ?" he asks. "Oh Uh yeah ." I say. "Why aren't you living in campus?" he asks. "Because I'm not going."
I say. "You graduated already nins!" he says.
"No i am just taking a little time off." I say. "Time off"he says. He smiles and I smile back. "So where are you living Ricky, I wanna know about you ?" i ask. "I'm in Philadelphia." He says. "Really!" I say. "Don't laugh." He says. "I'm not that's really cool "I say with a small laugh. "Yeah Well New York got pretty expensive but anyway it's a pretty cool area there's a pretty big art scene there ." He says. "I know I read about that it looks fun and I saw a picture and it looked amazing." I start to say nervously. "Are you nervous?" He asks. "A little , it's been a long time." I say softly. "I'm a little nervous to." Ricky says. "Good I'm not alone." I say with a small smile. "So I didn't just come here to chat I actually wanted to show you something." He says. "Right you said that." I say. He grabs his backpack and pulls out a book. "I well didn't think you would believe it if I didn't show it to you in person." He says handing me the book in his hands. "Ooo you got me curious."I say. I look at the book. "A book." I say. I then read the title. "Written by Ricky Bowen." I say reading the front cover. "Wait you wrote a book?!" i say shocked. "A short novel." He says. "You wrote a book!" i say with a Small laugh. "I gave it to these guys who have a small press and they read it and I don't know if they were lying about liking my book but they decided to publish it." Ricky says. "You wrote a book." I say again. "They only printed like 500 copies believe me I'm not quitting my day job." He says. "But you wrote it! You wrote a book! " I tell him. "Yeah I know it's hard to believe." He says. "You sat down and wrote a book!" i say. "I'm here because I'm trying to get book stores to let me put my books in there stores, I've got some in a few ." He says. "Cool where!" i say . "Around." He says. "I want to see it in a store!" i say excitedly. "I can give you the addresses." Ricky says. "You know what I'm going to do when I see it in a store." I ask him. "What?" he asks. "You know that section towards the staff recommendations, I'm going to grab a copy and I'm going to put your book there and I'm going to grab a card and write out why I recommend it so people see it and buy it!" i say. Ricky laughs. "Really you should read first before courage people from buying it." He says. "Noo Wait I know it's good, Ricky you've got such a great brain I knew it that you could do something like this! I knew it! i knew it!" I say. "I know you did." He says softly. "I work at the press now we put out about three books a month." He says. "So are you planning on writing a sequel?" i ask. "You should read it first." He say with a small laugh . "Well it's kind of late I Um think I should go." He says. "Yeah I also don't want to wake up my grandma." I say. "Well yeah I came here to show you that, and I just wanted to tell you that I couldn't have done it without you." He says with a small smile . "Thanks." I say softly. "I'm going to be around for a couple more days can we talk again?" He asks. "Yeah, I'd like that how about tomorrow?" I ask. "Yeah ok"he says. He starts walking out. "Oh hey your book."
