Wednesday pushed the library's door and directly walked to the aisle she knew had the books she needed. After 10 minutes spent in said aisle, she let out a frustrated sigh; she couldn't find the books, which meant someone either borrowed them already -which was unlikely, or the librarian forgot to put them back on the shelves.

Either way, it annoyed her.

Now she had to talk to the librarian to ask if the books were here, and it would probably take longer than necessary.

When she arrived at the desk with a blank expression, the woman was writing something on her computer, not sparing Wednesday a glance.

"I would like to borrow some books." She said through gritted teeth, causing the librarian to look up

"What books?"

Wednesday put a piece of paper with the references of the books on the desk as an answer.

"Botanical curses & poisons, and The supernatural" the woman read out loud "You're lucky, they've just got returned"

Wednesday raised an eyebrow. Even if she did think it could've happened, she was still surprised. She didn't actually think anyone else would ever borrow these books. It wasn't common seeing someone read that kind of books -or read at all. And usually Nevermore students only read the books in the school's library.

She didn't hear the door while she was in the aisle, which meant the person was still there. Maybe she had found a classmate with the same interests as her? Which didn't mean she would try to befriend them, but it was always good to know.

"If you're looking for the girl, she's in the aisles over there" the librarian said, as she had already put the books on the desk

Wednesday looked at her, a frown on her face, but nodded once and grabbed the books.

She then walked to the aisles the woman talked about. And here you were, looking at the books on the shelves, reading the back of one while holding another in your arms; Royal art of poison. Wednesday had read that book before, she recognize it was a good one.

Her attention then shifted on your face, even if she could only see your profile. She was sure she never saw you at Nevermore. She usually had a good memory for that kind of things, so maybe you didn't have classes in common.

After looking you up and down, she walked out of the building to go back to Nevermore.

On the way there, she couldn't help but think if she had seen you in the hallways, she would've never thought you would read this type of books.

The following week, Wednesday tried to find you in the school. Unconsciously at first, as she didn't really care, but then it became more and more important to her as she couldn't seem to see you. That frustrated her. You had to be somewhere.

And yet she couldn't find you.

She always got what she wanted, it was unusual for her to 'fail'. So naturally, she decided to go back to the library.

When she did, she wandered in the aisles, looking for you. Unsuccessfully. It was like you didn't even exist.

She felt like she was losing her mind, and it wasn't as fun as she anticipated.

Just as she was about to go back in the aisle she saw you in for the first time, she saw Thing out of the corner of her eye. He was pointing a nearby aisle, signaling you were in there.

You were indeed in the aisle, looking at the books on the shelf in front of you. Venomous was already in your hands. A book about earth's deadliest creatures... Wednesday thought.
