Clarke sat in her office filling out paper work for the new top reads display to be added to the front display, when a light knock brought her attention to the doorway.

"Hey!, we on our way past figured we would drop off some coffee, we brought one for Charlotte too, we found her first"

"Thanks guys, Come in, pull up a seat." Clarke smiled at the trio in the doorway. Octavia handed her a coffee as Lincoln and Miller sat down.

"So excited for your first game tonight?" Miller asked.

"That's right it's Tuesday already, I lost a day, Yesterday flew by and I was here from the time we got done with our run all the way till eight o'clock. These new displays are going to be the death of me" Clarke sighed.

"We have games Tuesday and Thursdays, Practice Wednesday and Sunday, we count Sundays' as practice even though it is open to anyone." Lincoln said as they all watched Clarke mark her desktop calendar according to what they were telling her.

"Okay, perfect, thanks" she commented as she marked the last few days of her month schedule.

Just then another knock.

"Hey Charlotte" Clarke smiled.

"Remember that irate customer, well he's back complaining that a book he wants to read has been checked out for a month so he informed me we obviously need two copies"

"Tell Mr. Blake to make his way back here" she said tapping her pencil.

Her visitors couldn't hide the smile if they had too. Charlotte sharing the amusement as she headed back down the short hallway.

"Is there not a time limit on how long you can have a book before you have to return it?" His voice rang through the door as he turned the corner. He paused for a second seeing his sister and their friends all sitting around her office.

"Mr. Blake can you just hold on a second while I open the system" She replied raising her eyebrows.

"Ms. Griffin, you didn't answer my question" he replied in the same tone.

"Ohh, I get it, this is like a thing for you two" Lincoln stated

"The Sexy Librarian" Miller added

"And the Hostile Patron" Octavia smiled

Clarke could feel her cheeks burn.

"Enough, I see you guys are all busy today" Bellamy said turning to them.

"Yup, so busy, we were just headed out" Octavia said as they all stood.

"Thank you for the coffee" Clarke said giving them a wave.

"Anytime" Octavia replied as they filed out of the office, Bellamy claiming one of the chairs they were previously occupying. The new silence was taken over by Clarkes typing.

"How's the sexy Librarian today?" Bellamy asked, she just gave him a look, causing him to smirk.

"Name of the book, if you would please, my hostile patron"

"You said 'my hostile patron' are you claiming me?"

"God no, I feel bad for someone who would want to claim you" She replied. He clutched his chest as if he was in pain, receiving another look.

"Okay, okay, 'American Gods'"

"Whoever has it had brought it back before the date and checked it out again, must not be done reading it, people do that more often then you would think"

"So, I just have to wait it out?"

"No, hold on, there, I ordered another copy, should be here by Friday"
