Katie's POV:

"E-excuse me, can you tell me where the Harry Potter books are?" a teenage girl asked me shyly. 

I smiled, remembering myself during my teenage years. I was a huge bookworm and super shy. Did I say was? Oops, I still am a huge bookworm. As for the shyness, I try to dial it down while I'm at work.

I nodded and lead her to the teen section where all the Harry Potter books were. 

"Thank you," she said and pulled out a couple of books.

"No problem, if you need anything you know where to find me," I said and walked back to my desk by the main entrance. I checked in some books and placed them on a cart in order to put them back on the shelves. 

I heard the door open and quick footsteps as if someone was running. I looked up and saw a guy in a suit running to the back of the library and then hid behind some bookshelves.

I raised an eyebrow as multiple people ran in with cameras and started to look around. Shyly, I walked over to one of the photographers and poked his shoulder, trying to get his attention. 

He looked back at me and seemed annoyed, "have you seen Sebastian Stan in here?" He asked and looked around.

Who?

"No, no one has come in here in the past hour," I lied figuring out that they were looking for the guy hiding behind the bookshelves, "I'm going to have to ask you to leave," I said and led them to the exit.

Once they left the library, I saw that they remained at the front and waited. I then walked to the back where I knew the guy was hiding. I walked towards him when he came to view, noticing him sitting against the bookshelf.

I'm guessing he heard me because he looked up and smiled. 

"Uh, hi. I'm guessing those guys with the cameras were looking for you," I said.

He chuckled and stood up, "Yeah, sorry for bringing them in here. It was just the closest place I could get into." 

He's really cute. Wait, what? Stop it, Katie!

"It's alright. I told them to leave, but they are waiting outside. Are you a celebrity or something?" I asked.

He nodded, "Yeah. I'm Sebastian by the way. Is it okay if I hang out here until they go away," he asked hopefully.

I smiled and nodded, "it's a public library after all."

He laughed and rubbed the back of his neck.

I stared down at my shoes nervously and bit my lip, "Well, if you need anything my name is Katie." I said.  I started walking back to my desk as he started looking through the books.

"Excuse me," a small voice said to me making me stop. 

I looked down and saw a small boy staring up at me. I smiled and knelt down to his height.

"Hi there buddy, what do you need," I said. 

Out of the corner of my eye I could see Sebastian staring at me and smiling. I chose to ignore it since he's probably staring at someone behind me or something.

"I can't find my mommy," he said shyly and I could see tears building up in his eyes.

"Okay don't worry, first of all what's your name?" I asked.

He stared down at his shoes. "Aaron."

I smiled at him when he looked up at me, "where did you see your mom last, Aaron?"
