-------------------------

I looked at my watch, it was ten past six in the evening yet this guy named Liam was nowhere in sight. I had been waiting for ten minutes now in this stupid, dusty, freakish library where only few nerds hanged around and Liam hadn't graced me with his mighty presence.

Lizzy, you are just wasting your time here for someone who might not even remember about his request...

But still I decided to wait for a bit longer. Sighing loudly I looked around again to see the decrease in the number of nerds present here and the librarian staring at a book before her as if there was a photo of Brad Pitt. Perhaps it might be because I don't see a reason why anyone would stare at a book with so much admiration and many a times the stern looking oldies are quite naughty inside.

I felt the boredom start settling over me making me get up from my seat and look around at books. As long as I was here, might make myself useful or... just to kill my time.

'Songs and Hymns', 'Alexander the Great', 'My Experiments with Truth', 'Emma' were the names of some of the books I found.

Very original!

Really, this place was so disorganized... mind my words, I wasn't one of those types who had library as their second home but it wasn't as if I had never visited it before so I knew how the library should be exactly. I exhaled loudly stretching out my arms a bit and in the process pushed a book off the shelf making it fall with a light thud. Gasping at the accident, I looked around to make sure no one noticed it.

Thank goodness, the librarian was still busy with her book else she would have kicked me out of this place. Running around the shelf, I bent down and picked the book up. It had the most weird title I had ever seen, 'living dead around us'.

Great! Another spooky book!

I turned the book around to look at the opened pages and unfold the creased page only to find bats and some kind of creepy man's picture sucking at some lady's neck. The subscript read 'vampire'.

I scoffed at the creepy picture. Yeah right, some stupid myth.

I hated spooky books showing non-existent things. It was nothing but pure bullshit that people liked to believe. Why can't they reason out? That, maybe some crazy dude might have seen some guy making out with lady in the dark and assumed it to be something else and spread rumors about it... making it one of the nonsense myths! I did never believe in something as stupid as that. Well, who would? A dead living for blood? Haha, that would be just as hilarious to see as it sounds.

I pushed the book back in its place before making my way back to my seat. I looked around for one last time when the sound of someone's boots hitting against the floor echoed through the hall and soon Liam came into view.

"Hey, Elizabeth!" Liam exclaimed and was immediately hushed by an irritated librarian who looked annoyed enough to kill. I eyed my watch and saw that it was half past six now! Did he have a celebrity disorder or something to arrive so late? He apologized to the librarian before coming towards me.

"I'm so sorry that I'm late. I was stuck with my little bro," he shrugged smiling apologetically. I waved my hand dismissing the topic and took out my books while he mirrored my action.

"So, which lesson are you facing trouble with? I asked.

"I find co-ordination compounds very difficult," he smiled slyly.
