"Tell me everything," Summer whined.

"I already told you," I replied.

Yesterday I came back from town and it was the afternoon. Summer wants to know everything that happened.

"Tell me," She insisted.

"Fine. Like I said, nothing happened. We bought the stuff and the box was heavy so he helped me with it and then we walked back here," I explained, again.

"But what else? Did he compliment you? Did he say something?" Summer asked as I put some of the flour away.

"Nope," I simply replied. "Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go read."

I walked past her and walked into the library. I closed the doors behind me and sighed. Jacob did say somethings.

He said I was pretty and that he will surprise me tomorrow. But of course that makes me worried and happy at the same time.

I walked towards the back of the library where the taller bookshelves are. I loved the thicker books, they were so much interesting.

I wanted to read one of the books my mother gave me before she left. It was at the very top where I keep all my books.

Of course I can't reach so I looked around for the ladder. I couldn't find it, so I was about to leave the library when I saw it next to the door.

Really?

I smiled and pushed it all the way across the room. I finally made it to the bookshelf and put the ladder there.

I climbed it and climbed until I reached the top. My book was there and I carefully pulled it out.

I walked back down and made my way towards a seat near a small table in the corner.

I sat down and blew away the dust that had gathered on it over the years. I haven't read in forever.

I open the book to where I had stopped and it was on page 479, the middle. I smiled and began to read.

I closed the book, along with my eyes. I finally finished and I was tired. I opened my eyes and set the book down on the table.

I got off the seat and walked towards the door. I opened it and was greeted by Jasmine who seemed like she was about to come in the library.

She was about to open her mouth to say something, but I walked past her and walked up the stairs.

From the stairs, I could see the sun barely shine through the window. Sunset. Wow I was in the library for a long time.

When I reached the top of the stairs, Mason came out of the room. Once he saw me, he smiled

"Where have you been?" He asked.

"In the library," I replied. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date." I flipped my hair in his face as I walked past him.

I laughed when I heard Mason grunt. "Well you have to tell me when is it," Mason said.

"In a few minutes, at least. He is coming here to pick me up. We're going to the town," I answered.

"Town? No dinner? Present? Flowers?" Mason asked sitting down on his bed after he came in.

I went to my closet and opened it. "I don't know. He said it would all be a surprise," I replied.

I pulled out a dark red tank top and some dark blue jeans. I went to go change and then slipped on my white leather jacket. I also put on my brown boots.
