Original Story: J's Ideas

A/N: So this is the original story I had to write for my high school English class. Yes, I know that it's literally been forever, and tbh I still haven't used this app, or written anything for the public during my free time over the summer. So I may not update this story after this. I honestly don't know. I'll try to if I actually end up writing more, but for now there's this. It's in the second person, and it's kind of a mystery.

It had been a hard night. Damn you, General What and your glorious adventures, you silently cursed. You just had to rewatch the whole series in anticipation for the new season that was premiering in two weeks. You trudged your way up the library stairs in muted excitement, not awake enough to start the day, but needing to anyway. Getting less than four hours sleep before your first day of volunteering for the summer wasn't the best idea, but you really wanted to finish the first season. The three books you were carrying didn't make it any easier, and you concentrated on not dropping them in your sleepy state.

Thankfully you made it up the steps with only a little wobbling, and as you stepped through the front door the hushed atmosphere greeted you. You took a deep breath, relishing the smell of the old books, new books, and the slight lavender scent of the long faded floor polish. You walked up to the return desk and set your books down, quickly greeting the librarian at the front desk, before moving towards the conference room where you were to have a brief orientation. You doubted there was going to be anything new, but it was mandatory whether you were a volunteer veteran, like yourself, or new to the library.

You walked in to see quite a few new faces. You didn't expect to see people you knew, but you also didn't think there would be so many. When you had volunteered in the past there was really only you and your friend, Thumper, but four faces greeted you as you made your way into the room. They looked at you expectantly and you hesitantly took a seat in the chair closest to you. They seemed surprised that you weren't telling them what to do and where to go, but you were used to being mistaken for someone who worked at the library. Your thick glasses and grown-up style gave others the impression that you were older than your seventeen years, and carrying books everywhere didn't help the stereotype of your appearance. Nor the fact that you were quite the regular at the library during the school year as well.

You twiddled your thumbs as you looked around and waited for Mary to come and give the tour of the library and explain your schedules. You saw two of the kids on the other side of the table whispering and every once and awhile they would exclaim something and laugh. Just as you were about to get up and look for her, Mary appeared and apologized for being late, with a signature mug in hand. "That coffee machine needs a serious tune up," she joked holding up the mug with the saying Coffee!!! Because crack isn't allowed at work.

"Okay, so let's get started! I see we have quite a few new faces this year, don't we Bambie?" Mary said turning to you with a big smile, you nodded and glanced at the other kids with an awkward smile. "Yes, well the more the merrier! So let's introduce ourselves, shall we? I'm Mary Mendoza, the head of the Young Adult section, which is my favorite genre to read. And my favorite color is red. Bambie, you next."

You took a deep breath before saying, "My name is Bambie Watts. Yes, like the Disney movie. I've volunteered at the library over the summer for the past 3 years, and I love science-fiction and fantasy books. Purple is my favorite color."

"Okay, next?" Mary asked, and so the introductions went.

"My name is Angela Moritz, this is for my community service hours. Um, I'm not really a book person, but I like manga, which I guess qualifies for a graphic novel? And my favorite color is green."
