Andrew kept staring at her as if he was hit by a lamp post. EEEEHHHH!? Wha... EEEEHHH.... Andrew's head was only filled with similar thoughts that go 'what the heck!?'.
More importantly, was this a joke. It must be a joke because this not a movie. People don't just go up to people and confess their love so bluntly. Not to mention a person like Andrew was confessed to by the last person on earth that Andrew would be associated with. Yep this must be a joke. Obviously dared by some kids to do this Andrew thought. Wait... if she was dared wouldn't that make me the victim... crap! Then am i being targeted. Oh no, i know how this goes... some delinquents(the people usually slouching at the end the class) wants to pass there time so they need a play toy. And that would be ME!; they are setting up bait, oh no sir, i refuse to further engage in your hunt for potential play toys. I am therefore ignoring this and moving on.
"Excuse me" lucy asked in a low voice "are you oka.... i mean did it scar-i mean you haven't said anything". Andrew looked at her with a confused face. "Um-no just a little.. u know... confused...i think."Andrew had almost drowned in his own thoughts for a moment. He had a full proof plan. Talk his way out through and around her skill fully, out of the library and full throttle back home.
Perfect.
"Andrew. I know its a lot to take in.... but please dont panic!- i mean don't run away- i meant like .... can we talk. Like right now.please.. "she said nervously.
Not perfect.
Andrew's master plan failed. His plan was completely defeated. Oi! What the heck! How am i supposed to talk my way out of this now! She clearly destroyed half of the awkward moment we had at that moment, that i could have used as life boat out of this titanic. Oh for god sakes!!
"Ah yes... sit down... we ..we can talk" Andrew said it without thinking.
ANDREW!!! What the hell are you doing! Are you digging your own grave! Did you abandon your hopes and dreams of seeing the outside world... Andrew noooo!!
"Um, so... lucy was it." Andrew asked.
I give up
"Yes-the names Lucy Gabrielle-oh wait i told you. Ha ha ha.. ha.." Lucy replied looking really nervous. She took a deep breath and started.
"I always see you here.. always. And around this hour nobody comes here. So i sort of come here to hide or getaway from the 'crowd'. I am here a lot and you were always there. Sitting lost in your own world..."
Oi. Don't make it sound like a fairytale.
".. almost always, whenever i am anywhere. People always stare at more or just take a at peek me, to say the least. Whether it be girl or boy. But your the only person that never looked at me even though i come in here. I sometimes try to make some sounds but all you did was tell me to keep it down and went back to work..."
What!? She was here the whole time. Why didn't i notice her. And why is the story slowly shifting to stalker mode.
"...i really don't know why but. I started to think about you. I don't know. I just wanted to know more about you. Kind of ironic, that the person that ignores me, is the one i am interested in.."
No shit Sherlock.
"...well-days passed i kept thinking about you. More and more. The more i thought, the more it became clear to me. I fell in love with you." She finally stopped. She wad staring intently, waiting for Andrew to answer.
She fell in love, she says. More like face first into a rock. Is that how people normally fall in love!? You 'think' about a person and then suddenly you fall in love. Genius. Absolutely brilliant. Andrew was in a dilemma. At one side, this could all be a mean joke. On the other hand, she could very well be telling the truth. He wanted to know if this was a prank. If he confirms that it is a prank, then no questions asked. Full throttle back home. But how can he know for sure that she is just pulling a prank on her.
Andrew thought for sometime and came up with a way to confirm this, a way to find if what she says actually the truth.
