The Library

The plan

I decided to walk to the library today and enjoy the fresh air and wonderful weather. The walk to the library is only a couple minutes more then the bike ride, but i don't mind. Suddenly i had flashbacks about the dream i had the previous night. Ms. Brachen, the chair, the wall, the voice. Suddenly i felt the urge to get to the library faster. I picked up my pace. Ignoring the stop sign i walked right out into the road not even looking. I got to the other side safely. I walked even faster now, the library in view. I saw Ms. Brachen pull into a parking spot and get out. I must have been early. She waves to me as i'm nearly at the entrance to the library. Just as i get to the door Ms. Brachen unlocks the door and pushes it aside for me. Thanking her as i walk into the nice air conditioning of the library. Immediately i noticed something off in the atmosphere. Something strange and powerful at the same time. I don't like it. Ms. Brachen didn't seem to notice anything. I slowly walk over to my chair, cautiously glancing around. I sat down and that's when i noticed it. The chair wasn't there anymore. I jump up and casually walk over to Ms. Brachen.

"What happen to the chair over there?" I ask.

Ms. Brachen looks to where I'm pointing and gets a curious look on her face.

"I don't know, but it was there yesterday. Hold on a sec I'll be right back." Ms. Brachen said as she starts walking over to where the chair should have been.

She looks at the wall then starts looking around. Now i begin to get even more curious and start walking over there as well. When i get there i notice the outline of the door was gone but the wallpaper was peeled out ever so noticeable. Ms. Brachen was still looking around and didn't notice me crouch down and investigate. It looked like someone had put the wallpaper on in a hurry.

I was about to pull the wallpaper back when Ms. Brachen spun around and said "that's weird it just disappear. Guess I'm gonna have to get a replacement. "

I knew i was gonna have to investigate more when Ms. Brachen wasn't around i had to i felt drawn to the door. I got up quickly and followed Ms. Brachen back to her service desk. With everything going on lately i hadn't had much time to read. Surprisingly it didn't bother me much. I had to figure out a way to find out what was behind the wallpaper without having Ms. Brachen around. I spent at least ten minutes thinking of different plans but none of them seem to work out. The only way was to break in after hours but i couldn't do that. I'm not a bad person, but the curiosity got the best of me. I got up and went straight to the restroom which was right around the corner. There was a window that's was in there that i could unlock and climb through after hours. I had to climb up onto the counter to reach the window. I nearly slipped and fell but quickly regained my balance. At last i switched the lock. I hopped down from the counter and left the restroom.

I left earlier then usual. Around 5. I wanted to get home to pick out a scraper to help take the wallpaper off. Since i walked to the library, i had to walk back. Everything felt slow and quiet. I didn't mind, i liked listening to the birds chirp and the squirrels scamper up the trees. I also heard honking from a couple blocks away. It ruined the mood. I didn't want to be impatient but i was just so excited i couldn't control myself. I skipped all the way home. I was just i'm a good mood after the library. I arrived at my house in no time. Silently Walking in the door and walking in my room i started going through my closet. I wasn't a girly-girl but i had my fair share of excitement over clothes. Being inspired by all the cliché criminal movies I've watched over the years i chose black tights with a black jacket a black beanie and my black converse of course. I didnt put any of it on. At least not now anyway. Since i left early and got home before dinner was ready i decided i would go down stairs to see what my mom was cooking and maybe even help a little. After i got the scrapper. I silently went down the stairs and snuck into the garage where my fathers tools were. I must have opened at least four different boxes before finding a nice looking scrapper. I had to sneak past my mom and went back up the stairs. I hid the scraper under my black clothing which i neatly folded and put on my bed. After that i went down the stairs in a not so quiet matter.

"Hey honey what are you doing back so early, are you ok?"

" Yeah i'm fine mom and i just thought I'd come home early and help with dinner."

" Oh and honey you beds dry now."

" Thanks mom."

I walk in to see that my mom was making hamburgers and homemade fries.

"If you want you can help by taking the fries out of the pan and put them into that bowl over there, but be careful the grease flies."

So i obligated. Grabbing the spatula with holes i quickly lifted the fries out careful to not get hit by the flying grease. I placed them into the bowl with newspaper in it so the grease would drain. I didnt help my mother cook a lot but i knew the tricks my mom used sometime. After that i salted them per my mom's directions and then placed the french fries on the table. My mother came out not to long after me with an organized tray full of onions, tomato, lettuce, and pickles along with the buns of course. I always loved what my mother cooked.  My father walked in the door with brief case in hand.

"Sorry i'm late i had to sign a few extra papers at the offi... that smells amazing!" My dad says walking into the dining room.

" Well thank you honey but put that down and come enjoy dinner."

Dad quickly put down his briefcase and put his coat on the coat rake and raced over to the dinner table. Everyone quickly assembled their burgers. I put pickles, onion, and lettuce on my burger. I hate tomatoes. Then everyone ate in silence.

"Everything was lovely mom, i think i'm going to go up to my room now."

" Ok don't forget to put your plate in the sink."

My mother said with a smile. After putting my plate in the sink and went up stairs to my room, i yell down that i was going to read till i went to bed.

Totally a lie
