i started to walk towards the library. it was quite a cloudy day. i like cloudy and gloomy days. on my way, i grabbed a water bottle for myself from the cafeteria. though it was a sunday the campus cafe was quite crowded. there was a cool breeze blowing. it was making the leaves quivere sound. 

maya- hey! where are you? i am in front of the library. 

adam: 8th floor in the HR management part

maya- great. i will be there in 3 minutes. 

i went inside the library. it was all magnificent and vintage type. it had a typical library look to it. 

big shelves and numerous books were seen in every corner. i headed directly towards the elevator. luckily the elevator was on the same floor as mine. i got inside the elevator and pressed the button for the 3rd floor and stood there. the lift had a stop on the 2nd floor. it slowly stopped making a small beep sound and the door gradually slid open. i just looked down at my nails to avoid social interaction. but soon i recognised the person was standing in front of me and i hurriedly looked up again. daniel was muscularly standing there. 

he had a book in one hand and a mocha in another. he looked at me and sighed while getting inside. why does he always have to sigh? i am not the one who is unbearable. the only reactions he had for me are sighing and rolling of eyes. he leaned against one of the sides of the lift and pressed 12 which was for literature students. ''i didn't know, you were going to come to the library'' i talked lowly. he looked up at me with an unreadable gaze.

''why?'' he asked me with no emotion in his gaze. i don't have an answer for that. why do i even try to make a conversation with him?

i didn't say anything but looked at him a little barren not knowing what to reply. he looked at me from head to toe. i get chills whenever he does that. he was gazing at my skirt or more specifically my legs. 

''beautiful'' he whispered staring down.  i gaped at him surprisingly. 

what does he exactly find beautiful down there? ''w-what?'' i stuttered with confusion and little anger. ''your bracelet. its beautiful'' he replied. i looked at my bracelet on my hands that were fallen to my sides.  

''ohhhh, t-thanks?'' i replied but it came out like a question. my stupid mind thinks way too much. i put my head down. ''what did you think?'' he addressed my embarrassed tone. i looked up at him and saw a proud smirk placed on his face as if my getting me embarrassed was his intention. 

i felt so timid while his eyes pierced into mine with no mercy. ''nothing'' i replied hastily trying to not get distracted by his gaze. the lift stopped again with the same beeping sound and the doors slid open. i got off the lift and headed to the gigantic shelved. the door closed and i took a long breath trying to figure out what the fuck happened. whatever that was i hope it never happens again. 

i glanced here and there to see if i could spot adam, but it was useless since the library was so big that a single person couldn't be spotted out easily. i texted him again.  

maya- i am at the bm section. can you come and get me?

adam- just a minute

he replied and i smiled at the text. i started to look through the shelves. there were numerous books related to just one course. they dedicated floors of the libraries to different courses and it was a big awe for me. i took a book from the shelf. i was glancing through the pages looking and reading few words but suddenly my mind was taken back to the picture of shirtless daniel in front of me. i don't like it or anything but i am sure that he had a tattoo on his chest. i was so stunned in the morning that i wasn't able to see it that properly but i wish i had. 

i was intense into my thought when i felt a whisper in my ear. ''hello'' i flinched at the voice and immediately turned behind to find adam silently cackling at my reaction. ''very funny'' i mumbled smilingly while lightly hitting him with the book. 

''what are you thinking?'' he asked me smilingly. 

''something that happened this morning'' i let out to him. ''let me guess daniel?'' he responded while eyeing me. i just nodded a yes. soon i felt his hand on my left forearm pulling me more inside the library into the shelves. ''tell me'' he whispered with so much excitement in his eyes. ''he was changing in the middle of the room and i came inside and saw him literally half naked'' i replied to him whispered. adam's eyes widened and he held his giggle back in. that boy was almost turning red by trying not to laugh. i looked at him with a very displeased look. 

''i-i'm s- so- sorry'' he said still laughing. ''he is just trying to annoy you nad get a reaction. he has been like this for a long time'' he told me while breathing heavily after all that laughing. i started to go through some books. probably daniel was doing that on purpose but how does adam know so much about daniel? isn't he new here too? he seems to know a lot about daniel. a lot of question started to form in  my mind. i looked at him and decide to clear it altogether.  ''i don't mean to be rude or something, but you seem to know a lot about daniel seavey. are you guys friends or something?'' i asked him. 

i was being very awkward while asking, making all weird hand gestures and stuff. why am i such an embarrassment? he looked up at me and his lips curved into a smile and he spoke. 

''no we arent friends. we are brothers''
