From Hannah's pov

     I did my usual afternoon thing, which was sitting at the library with a stack of books beside me. I was passionate about reading. The books take you to other worlds to escape the harsh reality of the one we live in.

     Not many people were there, but I'm a regular so the librarians recognized me as I walked in with a smile. I think they liked me because I always returned books on time and never made noise.

    I was currently reading a book that was about a girl falling in love with an alien. It demonstrates how love has no boundaries and that opposites attract. I wish I could find someone special like that. I sighed and continued reading, hoping my thoughts wouldn't cloud my concentration.

     The book was one of my favorites, I've read it several times before. But ultimately decided to close the cover and move onto to an unknown adventure.
  
      The front bell chimed to indicate another person has entered the library. Which was unusual for a Tuesday afternoon because most people were hard at work. I'm a youtuber which means although I'm busy, I can work on my own time. So I spent every free moment reading here. 

    The person approached the table. I looked up. It was a gorgeous girl with chocolate brown hair and bright red lipstick. I was instantly fascinated by her beauty. She asked if she could sit down and I nervously said "of course you may." Gesturing to the chair like the true genteel-woman I was. 

    She smiled and muttered a shy thanks and proceeded to sit down. I kept taking glances of her as I read. I couldn't focus on reading now. Not with her here. There's just something about her aura that strikes me. I wanted to know her. No, I needed to.

   She wasn't doing anything except what appeared to be studying. I didn't want to distract her from it so I stay silent. Until she finally spoke up "hey what's your name by the way? I'm Ingrid." She said holding out a hand. I then did the boldest thing I'll ever do. I took her outstretched hand, put it in mine, and kissed it gently.

   Ingrid immediately became flustered. She didn't seem bothered by it at all. And in fact, she grabbed my hand and did the same. Following that, we both stared into each other's eyes. Her amber brown ones boring into my gray blue ones.

      "Would you like to be my next adventure?" I asked, With a smirk on my face. She nodded slowly, grinning wide.

       We both packed up our stuff and walked out of the library, holding hands. Ready to start our own story.
