Hey" Toni whispered

A redhead turned to look at the woman who randomly started talking to her 

"I was told I should read the book that the film was based on, but I really don't want to, could you tell me a bit about this book? Like, is it different from the movie?" Toni asked and the redhead shook her head with a laugh 

"I know absolutely nothing about that book" 

"You have the second book of the series in your hand" 

Cheryl looked down at the book she was holding and giggled, "I didn't even know that" 

"I'm just now trying to take up reading. I'm really grabbing any book that's sounds interesting to me" She added 

"Well, you should start out with the first book and you know after some time you'll get to the second one" Toni joked and the redhead rolled her eyes 

Toni handed her the book and Cheryl nodded as a way of saying "thank you"

Cheryl looked down at Toni's hand and noticed a ring on her finger. Cheryl loved weddings and romantic things, so she wanted to ask the woman about it, but she interrupted her.

"What made you want to start reading?" Toni asked and laughed, "How old are you, like 23, it might be a little too late to just now start reading" 

"I'm actually 24" Cheryl sassed and Toni smirked

"Also, people usually find people who read attractive and I'm trying to go for that" She added 

"Well, lucky for you you're already attractive and I'm saying that after I found out you're a fake reader" Toni said

"Help me find a book and maybe I could become a real reader" 

Toni smiled before grabbing the book in Cheryl's hand and putting it back on the shelf, "I work at a film school so my advice for this book is to just watch the movie" 

"Everyone has seen the Harry Potter movies, so you already know what's going to happen, so no need to read the book, but my advice it to read the book first if you have the chance." Toni said and Cheryl laughed

"I've actually never seen the Harry Potter movies" Cheryl said and Toni groaned 

"What's your name?" 

"Cheryl." 

"Cheryl, I am so disappointed in you"

"What's your name?"

"Toni." 

"Toni, I am so sorry" 

Toni laughed before she checked her phone a few times and then turned her attention back to the redhead 

"What are you into? Scary, Romantic, Educational, Non-fiction?" Toni asked 

"Romantic." 

"I've seen The Notebook" Cheryl added as if that would redeem her from not watching Harry Potter 

All the other woman could do was laugh at what Cheryl said, "I'll take you to the romantic section and we'll find something for you" 

While they were looking for books Cheryl became curious on what made Toni qualified to help her find books.

"You work at a film school, what makes you able to walk around and help me find a book?" Cheryl asked 

"I've read many books, I just prefer movies. I like the process of making movies better than I do books. If there's a movie for a book I probably haven't read the book" Toni confessed
