All For You

What The Heck!

Part 5

The evening was cool and warm. The sun was gradually leaving the sky and the cool breeze brought warmth to the environment.
Emerald walked past the street, a pair of headphones clamped over her ears.The evening was going good for her but music can make it better.She hummed as she walked.
In less than twenty minutes, she reached her destination; The library close to the street. How she enjoys reading books!
She entered the library. Walking straight to the librarian, she greeted, " Good evening Mrs Flora ."
The grey haired woman rose her head from her work. " Oh dear! ", She smiled and faced her."Good evening ".
" I came to return the books I borrowed ", She opened up.
" You borrowed three..."
" Four ", She corrected.
Emerald brought out the books then presented it on the table.
" Good ", the librarian gathered the books.
" Can you lend me another one? ", asked Emerald.
" You can ".
As she picked some books from the shelf, she heard her name; a familiar voice.Joann.
" Oh Joann ", She smiled. It was Joann her classmate.
" Just came to pick few books to read ", said Joann.
" I think I'm done. I should be going now or do you mind if we walk home together? ", Emerald said as she packed up the books she picked.
" I'd love to ".
They left the library together, chatting as they walked. They weren't close so they spoke about few things.
" U didn't go to the theatre today? ", asked Joann.
Theatre? Must she go everyday? Or maybe she've been known as a theatre goer .
" No I didn't. I had things to do at home ".
Of course she have been busy since she came back from school. And Zain wasn't coming too... and his friends too! ...oh, her friends.
" U saw the new girl, right? ", Joann's eyes beamed with joy.
" Of course ", Emerald answered, surprised by her sudden expression.Why is she so happy?
" She looks so stylish. Didn't you see that? ", she exulted.
Of course, she looked rich and good.Emerald even admired her but... Could that make her so happy ?
" She doesn't look any bad ", Emerald added.
" She looks so_ ", Joann gasped." I wish she could be my seatmate ".
Seatmate? Why is she wishing to be the seatmate of the new girl ?
They spoke for long and after what felt like forever, they bid each other goodbye then parted ways.Soon, Emerald was back home. She walked straight to the bathroom, showered before resting in her room.
" Aren't you hungry? ", Julie asked behind the door.
She wasn't hungry. She had enough lunch.
" No I'm fine ", She replied.
" Are you sure? ", Julie wanted to be sure.
" Yes. I'm not hungry ",She wanted to scream. Julie is too caring.
" Okay then ", She left the door.
She took her phone from the bedside table.She wanted to chat till she feel sleepy. In their class group chat, everyone talked about the new girl.What the heck...
