"What is that?"

Chapter 25 : "What is that?"
****

Grace's POV

I've never had a morning like this before. Just a peaceful, happy, relaxing morning. And having someone that wasn't drunk and that may beat you out of nowhere was amazing. I felt bad saying that to myself, but that's good it stopped happening.

Once me and Tyler parted our ways, I looked at the time on my phone and realized there was still 15 minutes before school. I started to literally run to my locker. Once I got to it, I unlocked as fast as I could, got all my book, closed my locker and locked it. And by that time, I was running to the library. As soon as I got in the library, I sped walked to the mystery/romance book section to get a new book to start reading. I looked through all the books, reading the descriptions of each of the books. Once I found a book, I went to my usual chair, and realized Tyler was sitting there. I quickly turned again and started to walk to a different seat just like last time.

Tyler's POV

I was in the library reading Catcher In The Rye. It was taking me forever to finish that book. I heard a noise around me and quickly looked up. It was Grace. She was holding a book and walking to a pair of lounge chairs. Oh my gosh, why do I see her everywhere, I wasn't saying that it was bad, but it was such a coincidence. I continued to read my book, until there was only 5 minutes left until the bell would ring. I saw Grace returning a book into a shelf which was on the opposite side of the shelf my book belongs to. I went to go out the book and I could see Grace right through the shelf. She acted like she didn't see me and continued to walk to the doors. I decided to talk to her, so I ran up behind her. Once I got behind her, I tapped her back. She slightly jumped, but realized it was me. She smiled as I began to speak.

"Hey Grace."

"Hey Tyler. How are you?"

"Pretty good. How about you?"

"I'm ok."

"I didn't know you go to the library, I thought I was the only one."

"Yah I do. I'm more surprised to see that you go to the library before school all the time."

With that, she earned a small chuckle from me but I continued to carry the conversation.

"Well, people think the library is lame, but I really don't see what's wrong with it."

"I know right? That's so true."

We continued to talk and walk to class since we both had calculus right after the bell. We both made it to class on time and sat beside each other in the back.

After a long day of school, I was walking down the hallway to go to the penthouse when I walked over a book. It had leather covers on both sides with engraved on each side of patterns. I then looked a little closer. Grace's name was engraved; Grace Williams. I stopped for a moment thinking wether I should open it or not, and then curiosity killed the cat. I started to flip through the pages, reading through all of it. There was tons of poems in there, with her signature imprinted on the end of each one. There was also a lot of literature and philosophy in there too. This book was amazing, especially that Grace wrote all of it. 'This is fucking amazing', I told myself. Damn. I held onto the book the whole car ride to the penthouse.

_*_*_*_

Once I arrived in the apartment complex, I first made a stop at Grace's. I knocked ok her door and left the book right at the front of the door and walked away, I only did that because I knew she would open the door for sure.

_*_*_*_

I woke up from randomly falling asleep at the penthouse, from my phone ringing. It was Jackson.

"Yah?" I said still half asleep.

"Eh! Tyler! There will be huge party at my house tonight! You better come bro!"

I didn't get all of it except for 'party at my house'. I started to speak to answer Jackson.

"Ok ok. I'll be there."

"Ok. I'm getting the drink ready. Be careful, because I'm going to spike these drinks."

"Wait why?"

"Got to go now bye Tyler!"

And with that, he ended the call. Oh god, I felt bad for whoever drank from the punch. I dragged myself out of the bed, and got dressed. I was wearing adidas track pants with a white shirt. If you can't already tell, I love adidas track pants. I walked over to the door entrance, slipped on some shoes, and was out the door. I decided to stop by Grace's for some unknown reason.

Once I got to her door, the book was gone. I guess she took it. I got a small smile from that. I knocked on the door, then I heard walking growing close and closer to the door. It was Grace, she looked pretty good must I say. She began to speak.

"Hey Tyler. What are you doing here?"

"Hey. Ummm. Well there's this party ongoing to tonight and I wanted to asked if you wanted to go with me."

She paused for a moment thinking about it and finally answered me.

"Ummm. Ok. Come in, I'll be read in a few minutes."

With that, I nodded and stepped in. I took a seat on the couch, as she went to the bedroom. She came out in a few minutes as she said, with a different outfit. She was wearing light blue night waisted jeans and a long sleeve crop top that was a dark royal blue. Her hair was down and straight, which I'm guessing is her natural hair. She had adidas shoes which looked pretty cool on her. She then walked to a dresser in the living room, she grabbed a squarish thing. I was confused on what it was.

"What is that?" I asked confusedly.

She pressed on it and a blade shot up. She then closed it and shoved it in her pocket. I was surprised.

"Tyler, is there any chance you have my other one?"

I then thought about it for a moment, Yah.

"Yah. It's at my house though."

"Ok. Just whenever you go there, k would appreciate if you could give it back."

"Yah, no problem. Grace?"

"Yah?"

"Why do you carry a pocket knife?"

"To stay as safe as possible."

"Oh, I see. Let's just get going now so we aren't late."

"Ok."

She then grabbed her phone and shoved it in her other pocket on the back of her jeans.
