TTOOS1: Next To Me ✔️

After the flag retreat has ended, I said goodbye to my friends and waited for all the students to get out of the campus and I immediately went to the library and grab some books from different rows and decided to read then while waiting for Bailey to finish her works.
Well, Bailey works here at the library to do a librarian's job. The principal let her do it since she's so persistent and she also needs some money for her everyday expenses (that's what I heard).

I looked at her and I saw her fixing some books and putting them into their proper places. At the same time, she's wiping the shelves and then checking her list (Maybe to determine whether there are books missing or books borrowed? I dunno?).

As soon as I get bored, reading, and at the same time looking at her whether she's already finished or not, I decided to drop down the books and quit thinking and let myself fall asleep for a while.
But after a few minutes, I heard some noise from somewhere so I lifted my head up and looked for Bailey but I can't find her from the shelves where I am near. I stood up and roam around the library.

"Bailey?" I called out her name but I hear no response. "Bailey! Is everything alright?" I asked but still, no response.  Because of that, my pace became faster and wider. I started to feel nervous about Bailey whether she's alright or am I just hearing things. "BAILEY!" I shouted but----

"BOO!"

"WAAAAH!" And when I look around, I saw Bailey laughing while holding her stomach. My shocked expression changes into something like pissed off. Or more than that.
I turned towards her and crossed my arms as if I was a bit irritated by her actions. Like, the hell?! She really did make me so scared and curious about her and she's just pranking me?! I really want to strangle her to death right now, but I'm not a murder.

"Funny isn't it? Are you done laughing now?" I ask and then she looked at me and laugh even harder. I rolled my eyes and turned my back on her and walk back to where I was seated earlier.

"You should've seen your expression! Like, so epic man! And you scream like a girl!" She said while laughing and followed me from behind.

"Yeah, whatever," I answered her.

"What." She said and then I seated on the chair and she went in front of me and smiled. "Isn't that funny?" She asked.

"Yeah. Super funny that I even wanted to take a selfie and upload it with some #prank #supercool #funny and tag some friends or me or not mention some to gain attention." I answered and from that moment, she stopped laughing and then she smiled and said,

"Okay, I will." Then she took a picture of us, and it was a stolen shot! Like literally! I look so ugly in it.

"Seriously, woman! Delete that! And don't post it on social media!!!" I shouted and grabbed her phone. But when I looked at the screen, it was already uploaded on IG with the exact hashtags I suggested and I was freaking tagged on the post! How did she know my IG account? I was about to delete it when she grabbed her phone back and then turn the phone off.
