What was he planning?? It's been days! I'm excited! And I'm dying to knowwww.

It's almost the end of August, which means we have to move our butts. The new school year is almost here. And at Sommerfield University, school starts as early as the first week of September.

Liam had already bought the things we needed. New bags, those things that you use to fill up stationaries, everything. All by himself! Amazing. The only thing that's left, is our enrollment. So I texted him.

Just a few more minutes then I'm out.

I'm having fun as one of the clerks here at our local bookstore. I enjoy what I do, good boss and co-workers, plus, the salary isn't bad for a part-timer.

Okay! I'll just shelve these newly delivered books and-

*clank clank*

The doorchime hanging from the door made noise as a young man in a coat wearing a hat and shades entered the store.

"Good afternoon, sir!" Our newest clerk, Dale Ferrel greeted. He looked abnormally identical to his twin brother Dane, my bestfriend, despite them being triplets. Even Kurt confuses them with each other. Which was cool. I knew Dane and Dale. All that's left is for me to meet their 3rd twin. Haha.

I was supposed to watch people like him who enter the here. So I subtly followed him go to the Romance lane. He picked up a book, read the front and back and put it back on the shelf. He repeated this I think around 7 times on different books. Hmm. Shady?

I went back to shelving the books keeping my eye on him.

He has 3 books in his hands. Yet he's still looking for more? Huh. I guess he's a bookworm.

Then I saw he picked up a book and looked like it captured his interest. He walked towards the cashier, so I went back to my station to receive his purchase.

When he put the book on the counter, I was amused. He picked my favorite book. "George Growing Up". It was about a kid who survived through the trials of high school and teen life to be the great man that he is in the future, and despite the circumstances, found true love. I looked at the man, and noticed he was looking back at me. I narrowed my eyes at him. He seems familiar. It's just hard to recognize him with the coat collars, hat and huge shades shadowing his face. He smiled.
