Chrollo Imagines

Library Lover

School had become rough. The essays seemed to never stop coming, not to mention the exams that were only a few weeks away. Feeling stressed was putting it lightly. You felt as if school was smothering you bit by bit. Just chipping away at any ease and happiness you had. Just a few more weeks and then the semester was done. Just a bit more of this madness then you could relax for a bit. That could be manageable.

After finishing up one of the essays, you realized it would be best to get to studying some of the exam materials. Probably best not to save it till the last minute as usual. The door to your dorm opened, revealing Larissa and her boyfriend. Maybe studying here wasn't the best idea while your roommate was necking it with her boyfriend. Even though it was getting late, it would probably be best to head to the library to get at least an hour of studying and maybe a bit more of the next essay done. Packing your bag you left heading towards the library. Larissa told you she'd send a text when she was done.

It wasn't bad out, a bit cold as had just turned spring. Maybe you should have brought your jacket. It was too late to turn back now. The library was only a few blocks away and you rather not walk into Larissa and her boyfriend. You could suffer through the walk. Especially if it meant not failing these classes. Even getting a low grade would suck. Your GPA was really falling behind. You couldn't handle another bad class. A gust of wind blew by, almost pushing you off to the side. Lowering your head and pulling crossing your arms for some warmth, you carried on. You must have been lost in your thoughts because you didn't seem to notice you were walking towards a group of people. Even face planting into one of their backs. The embarrassment came rushing in, "sorry's" were escaping your lips before you could stop them. The man you had bumped into was tall, your face was against the middle of his back. Barely reached his shoulders. Before you could leave and scurry to the library to avoid any more embarrassment. You were met with the man turning around and stopping your attempts to flee.

"Hmm. That's fine, but you should be more careful dear. Wouldn't want a pretty thing like you to get hurt."

His friends began to laugh at his comment. A few voices agreed with his statement. Your eyes looked away from him, trying to ignore his laugh and the others from the large group he was with.

"Oh. Ok."

As the words left your mouth you were gone. Leaving behind a laughing group of strangers. Though what you failed to notice was the way the man that you bumped into had was still staring at you. Continuing to do so as you made your way to your destination.

The library was quiet, most people were either finishing up classes or stopping off somewhere for a late dinner. Meaning there was at least a good hour or so before you would need to relocate due to the wave of newcomers. Finding a nice spot at one of the tables near the back. Guessing being at the back would buy you even more time before more people came in and began to fill the tables near the front. You set up your materials and got to work. It didn't take long for you to find your rhythm, getting some studying in and even creating a thesis for a paper. Maybe a change of place helped you more than you thought it would. It wasn't till you were studying for a different exam that you began to realize people were coming in to begin studying for the night. Grabbing your things you began to head towards one of the private rooms that were available to the students. There should still be some available. As you made your way towards the stairs you heard a familiar laugh. It sounded like the voices and laughs from the group you collided with earlier. Turning around you noticed a group of guys and a few girls walk in through the front doors. They appeared to be chatting loudly, being inconsiderate of those who were actually trying to get work done. Before you could turn your eyes met with one of the members, a nice looking, tall, brunette. You recognized his shirt and pants, it was the guys you bumped into. Your cheeks began to blush, embarrassed about bumping into him. It was stupid sure. It was an accident, but it was still embarrassing. Especially since he had referred to you as cute. Your eyes suddenly met with his. A smile had formed on his lips. You couldn't hear what he was saying to his friends, but as they turned to look over at you. It was probably best to leave and just go study upstairs in one of the rooms. The last thing you needed was some annoying guy trying to flirt with you. Or even having his friends near you with how loud they were.
