Stuck Between The Pages

4

          Hi again. Do you have a while, normally we only talk for a couple minutes. Sorry, just this is the only thing that is really interesting in my life.
          So uh, about last time. Listen, I'm really sorry, I know I shouldn't have said that. We just met and I'm a book and you're a human. And I know that humans normally don't like books in a romantic way. It should've been more obvious to me not to say that.
          What were you saying. Oh, so now you forgot? It started with, "I was thinking about it and..." Oh. You like me back? But how would that even work. Think about it, I literally am paper put in a binding and you like me back. Either I'm very good at getting people to like me or you are very desperate. Either way, now things are complicated.
          As much as I'm happy you feel that way I don't think you should. I'm saying this as your friend, it's not a good idea. You need to go find a real person, someone who understand you and gets you. There has to be someone that is as weird as you that would like a book that has a crush on it back.
           Honestly when I say it out loud, you look more stupid than I do. And I look pretty stupid. And now I'm insulting my crush, great. I'm sorry, I just, I don't even know. I've been thinking a lot lately and then I got scared you would never come back and that I scared you off. What's that. Aww thanks, you'd always come back to me. That's makes me feel much better, but promise to, or at least give me a warning if you aren't coming back.
          I don't want to spend my life waiting for a time that will never come. Wait, wow, that was like really inspirational. Look at me over here being an inspiration to myself. Sorry, I talk to myself so much I don't even realize when I'm doing it.
          Okay let's talk about you, do you have any pets. I've always wanted one. I want a dog or a turtle. I don't think that will happen. After all I am stuck in a book. Wait, what if this happens to everyone. What if we all are trapped in a book and then when we get born we are released from it but forget all about it. Then I would be a real person soon. Or maybe I'll get transferred into a body that's your age so we can fall in love properly. Oh, did I say that out loud, sorry. Again, forget when I'm talking to myself. Great, I'm stuck in here and I'm starting to go crazy.
          When did become a human I going to love to run. I want to soar through the air on my own two feet. I don't understand why more humans don't do it. Same with swimming, soaring through the water, feeling the cold or hot, being one with it, being surrounded by it. Or maybe it's not that deep, and bot fun at all. Maybe the human world is just really depressing. Oh well, one day I'll find out for myself, and that is a promise.
          When I become a human I'm going to go to school to. I'll learn about all the far off places, and learn how to do complicated math puzzles. It all just sounds so fun. But the humans make it sound awful. I don't get why they don't like it, learning new things, with your friends alongside you. And I want to go to the beach, feel the soft sand on my toes, feel the cool ocean blue water. The human world seems so exciting, I can't wait.
          When I make it to the real world I'll travel everywhere, and learn everything. I won't take anything for granted and I'll live my life to the fullest. I'll fall in love, have kids, have a big house, and have the life I've always dreamed of. It's so easy. It's like I could just reach out and grab it.
          I could do all that, and I will.
          That is, if I ever leave this book.
          At least I have you, for now.

*Can you guys let me know how long you want the chapters to be? I don't know if I should keep them short or make them longer. Again sorry for taking so long I just am busy and get distracted easy. I normally just sit down and do the whole thing once I have motivation. If you want you can leave ideas in the comments for the next parts. Bye, for now.
