From stealing books to burning them, Lilia has done everything imaginable to get banned from every library she steps foot in. And from buying a new book to paying for a remodel on parts of these unlucky libraries, her mom takes care of Lilia's mistakes instead of punishing her.
Lilia's life is always moving, always changing. What with her mom's job causing them to move from place to place and never leaving more than a month in between to make friends, Lilia always has a new chance at destroying yet another library. And mommy always steps in and practically makes it better than it was before.
No body has ever found out the reasoning behind why Lilia does any of this, nor do they wish to.
That is until Lilia decides the next thing on her to do list is to emotionally destroy this new town's well known bookworm, Cody. Ruining his favorite place in town since the moment she showed up and the librarian for some reason never scolding her is one thing, because right behind her shenanigans is fanboy heaven in the form of an apology known as more books yet to be read thanks to Lilia's mother.
But Lilia spoiling the ending to the current book Cody is reading and then bugging him for the rest of the day as a form of fun? Let's just say that Cody will finally voice his opinion on what he thinks about her showing up and ruining everything.
Lilia messed with the wrong fanboy, and as the day goes on, Cody learns how Lilia has gotten banned from all those libraries, while realizing that she might not be that bad after all. She's just a little different.

I wanted to see how well I could write in third person, so this short story is my attempt at that. Also, I wanted to push myself a little and do a character I completely can't relate to.
Lilia destroys books(something I wouldn't even do in my wildest dreams). She'll be a character that completely does the opposite of what I do throughout this entire writing experience(for the most part) and I wanted to challenge myself and see how well I could bring her to life.
For the most part, I thought of the craziest idea I could and I am going to write it for fun.
Any comments and votes would be greatly appreciated.
I hope you enjoy :)
