     After about 3 hours It had turned to 6:30 and I was already half way through the book. It was amazing and with every single type of torture she did to him it gave me goosebumps. I slowly stood, fixing my jeans and smiling at Mrs. Sue and waving to her, signalling I was finally leaving. She gave me her warm friendly smile and I slowly walked out the doors.

      'Raining. Wonderful.' I thought.

     I pulled up my hood over my dark brown hair and made my way out onto the concrete and started heading home as I held the book tightly to my chest, thinking of the girl once more with a warm smile. 

     After walking the 2 blocks I turned to a large tan house and made my way up the steps, stepping in puddles with small splashes. I opened the door quickly and made my way inside. My father was asleep on the couch, making me smile a small bit. He had been watching old videos of memories of the whole family. Me, dad and mom. It made me sad to see him watching it for about the 10th time this week, but, I couldn't stop him from wanting to watch his memories on repeat.

     I grabbed a blanket and stealthily pulled it over him as he readjusted himself with a few mumbled words that I couldn't quite understand. I gave his forehead a kiss and made my way upstairs. 

     The wooden door to my room slowly opened as I tried to stay as quiet as possible as my father slept I slowly walked in and closed the door. I started setting everything down and sat down on my bed and took off my red converse's and my red flannel jacket, leaving me in my black tanktop and skinny jeans.

     As I was sitting just thinking I remembered I had the girls number and quickly grabbed my jacket and took it out and put it in my phone. I smiled a bit and started to wonder if I texted her now if she would text back. I laid down and started typing. 

     Me: Hey, it's me, Mia from the library. 

     I didn't expect her to text back immediatley and set my phone down and just stared up at the ceiling, until a few moments later a small noise came from my phone and I raised an eyebrow, grabbing it. Surely enough it was from the girl... Celeste, her name was. 

     Weirdo from the library: Hey!!! What took you so long to text me?!?!?! I've been bored out of my mind!

     Me: Oh, sorry, how long has it been?

     Weirdo from the library: exactly 3 hours 24 minutes and 8 no 9 no 10 no 11...

      I laughed and smiled a small bit at the girls goofy personality.

     Me: Okay, I think I get it, Sorry, and you were keeping track of the time that precisely? 

     Weirdo from the library: of course! I couldn't wait for my new friend to talk to me!

     I smiled a bit, feeling warm. I haven't had a friend in months. 

     Weirdo from the library: So? How's the book?!

     Me: It's really good! You should have it by next week, I'll try to finish it asap!

     Weirdo from the library: Wonderful!

     I smiled and laughed gently until the question I had earlier popped into my head once more. 

     Me: Oh, hey, how old are you exactly?

     Weirdo from the library: 17 going on 18 in 7 months!

     I smiled in relief, yet, the more childish one was the older one. Funny.

     Me: Okay good, just making sure.

     Weirdo from the library: what about you? What's your age?

     Me: I'm 16.

     I smiled and laughed at her next text, though staying silent so my father could sleep.

     Weirdo from the library: Really? You seem a lot more mature then that! I seem like a 7 year old compared to you!

     I was about to reply when she shot back another text.

     Weirdo from the library: Oh, hey sorry, I've gotta go, sorry it's my 2nd time ditching you today, text me later, okay?

     Me: alrighty! Cya!

     And with that I got no further texts. I laid quietly in my bed until noticing I probably gave her the worst name on my phone that I could.

     I smiled as I went to the settings and changed it.

     Celeste the weirdo.

     There. That fit her better. 

     I gently laughed to myself and smiled and set my phone back down and just laid there for an hour before slowly falling asleep to the sound of silence.
