Today I got up super early (than usual) to avoid mom so I don't hear her blabbering about me going to school soon, probably in a month now, or two, if mom is taking her sweet time to fill in the school's papers.

I made sure to wear my (2nd favorite color) hoodie jacket, grabbed (favorite fruit) to eat on the way, and waved goodbye to Ship and mom before leaving.

The fiery ball hanging in the baby blue sky warmed me up during my walk.

Where am I going you may ask? Well, today, I'm taking a ten-minute walk to Bellwood's local library.

Yesterday event made me want to be alone for the day and avoid kicking butt for now and get a little time for myself, besides, it's been a while since I last went to the library

I remember mom and I used to walk by foot a lot when I was a kid since I wanted her to read me tones of storybooks before bedtime, from fairy tails to scary stories that were child-friendly, PG enough to let me sleep in peace and not get any nightmares.

I sighed softly, smiling to myself "Good times," took a shortcut through the alleyway for a faster journey.

It may have been a bad idea but, hey! Nothing bad happens, and no one ended up hurt because of me.

I stood next to a bunch of Bellwood citizen, we were all waiting for the traffic lights to signal us to cross, I saw the white figure on the black screen, and I didn't hesitate to run ahead first.

I brought out five books to an empty table I decided to sit and read while I spent the day alone.

Nothing but bookshelves filled with all sorts of books, from old to new, just like those cranky librarians I met who glared at me for no reason, thinking I was here to cause trouble instead of grabbing a good book to read and sit still.

It may be weird and all but...I picked this book called 'lovers loved', it just caught my eye.

I sat down in a comfortable position, pulling a chair out and flipped through the pages.

'A man travels back in time to save his wife from death' I flipped through page one and was totally hooked. It somehow sounded familiar... this man... Professor Paradox was the first thing that came to mind...But had no idea why.

The story was tragic, but I didn't dare shed a tear in public, that would be embarrassing.

After a few more pages, someone approached my table. "Uhmm...are you okay, (y/n)?" the boy asked.

I looked up from the sad book, (crush name) was standing right in front of me, with a concerned look on his face. I must have been doing a face to cause him to come over hear or something.
