Perks of having your mom as a teacher is that she lets you not attend her class in school. I can't go out of campus before dismissal though, so I hang out here in the library. But of course, she'll teach me the lesson from class at home. I guess it's somehow okay, I don't have to deal with her "teacher mode" because she's less strict at home.

I walk in the middle of the shelves slowly, reading the book I just found when I step into the actual reading area, with the tables and whatnot. Is that...

It's that Rich guy! (he's not actually a "Rich guy" his name's "Rich")

I kinda stare at him for a few seconds before snapping out of it and hid behind a bookshelf. He seemed transfixed on that book he's reading. I wonder what it is. I close the book I have in my hand and put it back where I got it. I slowly circled into him so he doesn't notice me. Once I was a few feet behind him, I approach slowly.

"Must be a good read" I say to him and he jumps, "sorry, didn't mean to surprise you"

"O-oh, it's fine," he chuckles "It is a good read. This the 5th time I've read it and I still love it"

I sat down next to him seeing the book's title, "What If It's Us?" There's a picture of 2 boys looking at each other but walking away from each other. One's tall wearing plane t-shirt, holding a box and the other one's wearing a buttoned-down shirt. I can already tell it's a love story. And with two guys! That made me smile, unknowingly.

"Yeah, it's a really good book!" He repeats, "I could let you borrow it if you want"

"O-oh no, I couldn't" I say, shaking my hand at him but he gives the book anyway.

"It's fine, You're in my class after all. So, I can get it back easily"

I blush at his gesture. "Thank you," I say.

"You're welcome!"
