Part 3

[Still Jake's pov]
I walked into the library to get some fresh air. Books make me feel alive. I straight went to the shelf I love the most. Shelf 1511. I went there and started finding for some book I could read. "Uhm...I read that last week. I read that few weeks back. I read this one few days ago. This one? "|Stranger to Stranger|" I read the title. Seems good. I took it out of the shelf but it was stuck. It won't come out. "What the hell? Why won't you come out? I want to read you. Please." I tried it with both of my hands. It won't budge. I heard some groaning from the other side of the shelf, so I decided to check. I went to the other side and saw...

THE. SAME. GIRL. FROM. THE. MORNING. What is she doing here!?? Is this a coincidence or a hint to make us meet here again. Wow...
I went to her and saw her groaning. "Hey!"...she looked at me and the look on her face changed from a painful one to a happy one so quick. "Omg!! Hiii!!" She jumped. "We meet again here."...."Yeah! I was just thinking about entering your department to find you but thankfully you did." I said. "Really??? I thought of doing the same!! Our thinking is so similar, right?" She laughed. "I guess so." I smiled.

"How stupid of me, I didn't even asked for you name on the whole ride after talking with you for so long." She flicked her head. "It's okay, neither did I so it's equal stupidity." She smiled. "But why were you groaning a while ago? Are you okay or did you got hurt from something?"...."nothing, I wanted to read a book so I came here and found this book and decided to read it but it won't care to come out of the shelf. So my hands started to burn from the force I was putting in pulling it out."...wait a minute. I saw the title of the book
|Stranger to Stranger|. I understood what was happening.

"I was trying to read the same book and even tried to pull it out but it won't budge either. I guess we both were pulling it out on the same time and that's why it went to equilibrium state ahahha."...."Wait how do you know what does equilibrium mean?"...."We had to study Science till the end of the high school miss. So I do remember. But was that the only thing you paid attention to? I told you the whole reason to why it wasn't coming out!!" She awkwardly rubbed her neck. "Sorry, im just a idiot you know. But the real question is that WHAT IS YOUR NAME DUDE?? I've been dying to know it." I smirked. "You were so desperate to know my name? Interested in me so early girl?"...."what the hell man! I was just curious because it was fun to talk to you. Don't make stories about me."

"Okay okay I will tell you my name but what is yours?"...."I was the first one to ask!" She protested. "So what? I will tell you when you will. So you first." She shaked her as a no. She's stubborn. I was thinking until a idea hits me.
"Hey let's make it fun then. How about a challenge? Whoever is first to make out the other's name, wins and would have the opportunity to make the loser do anything he or she wants. We will have just a day to do so, that means we have to know each others name by tomorrow or else we lose. What say?" She looked at me weirdly as if I told her to kill someone. "Are you a kid or what? Why these childish challenges? We can simply say our names so why all of this?"
I sighed.

"There's fun in challenges girl. At least try. It will allow you to go through people to know about me and myself." I flicked my hair back. "No I'm not doing it."...."Oh God! Please!!!!!!" I grabbed her hands pleading her. She looked shocked and her face flushed for a second and I realized what I did so I take my hands back. "I'm sorry but let's have this challenge or else I'll consider you as a loser and you won't get to know my name either. Bye!" I was about to turn around when she grabbed my right arm. "Woahhh boyyy! Okay I'll do it. But any rules?" She finally gave in.

"First, you can do anything to find my name except checking personal or school registers obviously. No asking any teachers or professors about me. Second, you cannot cheat by forcing me to say my name or drug me to make me say it. Third, you can think of winning because I'm gonna win nonetheless." I ended it with my victory and a laugh.
"HA HA HA very funny." She scoffed. "So let the game begin." I announced. "See you tomorrow then." She said and took the book out of the shelf taking it with herself. "YAH! THAT'S MY BOOK." I shouted gaining the attention of the librarian. She shushed me. And I kept finger on my lips. She took my book in front of my eyes!! What I'm going to read now!??
