Hathaway Hall

Hathaway Hall Ch.7

"You bitch!" A shout came and the door to my room flew open waking me up. I rolled over and squinted at the person in my door way. Rain, Great...

"What are you talking about?" I said groggily. Its 4 o'clock in the morning, I don't even know why she's up at this time.

She through a blue shirt with a purple stain on it at me, like I had any idea what it meant.

"You ruined my favorite shirt, are you stupid?!" She yells even more loudly.

" I have no idea what your talking about." I state calmly, getting in a standing position.

That just seemed to make her even angrier. If it were possible she probably would have steam coming out of her ears.

"Ughhhhh! Don't ever touch my damn laundry again!" She shouted slamming my door hard. I rolled my eyes. This girl is obviously nuts, and she has no idea what she's talking about.

A knock sounded at my door, "Brooke can I come in?"

I sighed,"Sure." Slowly the door opened and Clover walked into the room.

"I heard Rain," she says slowly. She sits on the bed, and looks up at me with guilty eyes. Its way to early for this, I groan inwardly and take a seat as well.

"Yeah," I reply boredly," I have no idea what she's talking about."

" I do, and its kind of my fault," she looks away not meeting my eyes. I raise and eye brow and gesture for her to go on.

"Well I did the laundy and forgot to get hers out. I'm sorry she yelled at you." She says guilty.

"Its okay, but I think I'm going to go back to bed for a bit." I yawn almost straining my jaw. She nods and begins to leave the room.

She pauses, "Oh and if you don't mind maybe we can go to the library for a bit after the early morning run?"

"Sure," I reply almost halfway asleep already.

......................................

I have no idea where the library is, I think to myself as I run my second mile. Actually, I didn't even know we had a library. I wonder what kind of books they have? I guess I can always ask Haven.

The run ends after what seems like forever. Six miles is no peice of cake.

"You ready?" Clover asks, while gasping for air. The run must of been hell for her.

"Yeah I'm ready," I say following in beside her. The walk the is pretty quite except for Clovers huffing.

"So what kind of books do they have?" I ask curiously.

"All kinds, a lot on werewolf history though," she says," The pretty cool actually."

The room is much bigger than I expected. Its probaby bigger than my whole house. Books are every where from one wall to the other. The walls are a dark mahogany color the whole room is very medieval-ish.

"Well well look what the dog dragged in," a deep voice says from behind us.

"I think its what the cat dragged in," Clover say frowning and turning to the voice. Alex, I sighed, he's always everywhere it seems. Another boy I don't recognize is beside him.

"No shit sherlock," the other boy say jockingly. I study this new guy. He has spiked red hair and dark green eyes. His face is very angled, and freckles scatter it. Its weird that I've never seen him before, I mean there are barely over a hundred people hear.

"Brooke this is Caleb, he's the book keeper," Alex says graciously. So that explains why I don't know him.

"Nice to meet you," I say extending my hand, which he shakes.

"So what brings you two here?" Alex asks.

"Oh I'm just looking for a quick history study up," Clover covers her face shyly glancing at Lucas. Yeah, history my booty.

"I can help you find it," Luke say offering her a smile. Clovers face turns a dark shade of pink as he leads her away. I begin to follow but a hand holds me back.

"I think we should let them be alone." I frown but comply. Alex leads me to a back table for us to sit at.

"So what have you been up to?" He asks grinning at me. His green eyes are captivating with the way the sun is hitting them right now. I shake that thought.

"Same as everyone else does here," I say giggling like an idiot. Its a good thing I don't really blush, because I would be right now.

"Sounds lame, like you. " he grins at that.

I scrunch up my nose at the joke, but laugh a little anyway. I've only know Alex for a little while, but he's just so easy to be around that I feel like I've know him forever.

"So wanna play twenty questions?" He asks looking around boredly.

"Yeah, you first." This could be fun. He pauses for a moment pursing his lucious lips.

"Favorite color?" He finally asks.

"Green." I reply. And that's how it goes for what seems like an hour. Were finally down to both of our last question. Our laughs echo in the quite library., so loud that I wonder why nobody has said anything yet.

"Would you kiss me?" He asks searching my eyes. I know they must be wide with shock, because I wasn't expecting that. He leans forward a little bringing his face closer to mine.His hot breath is now mingling with mine. I can't help myself, I'm leaning closer now too. Closer. Closer. Until finally our lips brush together into a gentle, yet very sensual kiss.

"Hmmmm-hmmmmm," someone clears there throats breaking us apart. A very red Clover is standing beside us looking very schocked indeed.

"Ummmm yeah I'll see you later," I say quickly grabbing Clovers arm, and leaving a very shocked Alex behind. In my hast I don't see the book lying in the floor and trip landing on it.

"Oh my god," Clover squeals not even noticing my distress, or the fact that I'm lying on the floor. Shaking it off I grab the book intending to place it on a shelf.

"You and Alex?!" She exclaims excitedly.

"Ughh just come on, I'll tell you later," I say completely forgetting the book in my hand.
