"Hi, my name is Kolby Denvers an I applied for the job opening a couple days ago." I told the lady sitting at the desk. She nodded and typed something into her computer.
I looked around and took in the giant room. I was standing in the British Library, the largest library in the world based on all of their books.
The lady looked up and handed me a pamphlet. "I'm pleased to inform you that you've gotten the job. Here's the pamphlet that explains how to complete the job." She told me as if she was a programmed drone. I smiled and left the library. I didn't start until tomorrow so I headed to Starbucks to look over the pamphlet.

"Can I have a grande hot chocolate please?" I asked the boy standing on the other side of the counter.
"Sure, what's you're name?" He asked, uncapping a sharpie and picking up a cup.
"Kolby." He scribbled it onto the cup and I found a small booth in the corner, to sit at to wait for my drink. I opened the small booklet and started reading.
"Kolby, grande hot chocolate?" A lady at the counter asked. I stood up to go grab it when I accidentally bumped into someone.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Did I break any of you're toes?" I asked looking down at the ground.
"Oh, no it was my bad. No broken toes, don't worry." A slightly northern accent answered. I looked up and saw a tall man with dark hair and bright eyes smiling at me. I smiled and apologized one last time before grabbing my drink. When I came back to my small booth I found the same man sitting there looking at my pamphlet. I sat down across from him and he looked up.
"Oh I'm sorry, were you sitting here?" He looked guilty, and I smiled.
"It's fine, no harm no foul." Li took a sip of my drink. I flinched and quickly pulled it away from my mouth. He raised an eyebrow.
"Are you alright?" He asked hiding a smile.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just burned my tongue. So what's you're na-" I was cut off by squeals coming from across the room. I looked up and saw two or three teenage girls running towards us.
"Oh my god! Phil can you sign my face!" One of them screamed. He smiled and stood up. He took some selfies with them and gave them each a hug. After they left he returned to our booth and smiled.
"I'm sorry what were you asking?" He smiled.
"I was going to ask what you're name is, but um never mind, Phil." I laughed.
"So what's you're name?" He asked taking a sip of his drink.
"I'm Kolby. So how did those people know who you are?" I asked leaning back in my seat.
"Well I'm a youtuber, and they were some of my Philions." He explained. I raised my eyebrow, "subscribers." He corrected, "that's what my fan base is called." I nodded.
"So how old are you?...." I asked hoping he wasn't like sixteen.
"I'm twenty eight how about you?" I let out a breath of relief.
"I'm twenty six." He smiled.
" so are you working at the library than? I'm assuming that's what this is for." He asked handing me my pamphlet back. I nodded.
"Yeah, I just got the job. My first day is tomorrow, so that should be fun I guess." He checked his phone and frowned, "what's wrong?" I asked.
"My roommate Dan just texted me saying he needs me back to help film a video, so I've got to run. It was nice meeting you." He stood up and started for the door.
"Bye Phil, it was nice meeting you to." He smiled and disappeared out the door and onto the busy streets of London. I hope we might see each other again but for now, I'm going home and taking a nap.
