✿ ☆ - the first encounter - ☆ ✿

it was fall of our freshman year. the school library. he was there and surely I was too.

"um uh d-do you mind if I s-sit here?" I hear a deep male voice. I look up to my right to see a fellow classmate. "oh no, not at all." i say with a smile. huh that's weird. i look around to see every seat in the library is open, yet he chooses to sit next to me?

too engrossed in my book, I hardly noticed that the guy has been sitting next to me. heck it's almost been 15 minutes. why sit next to me if you aren't going to talk or do anything!?? I take a second out of reading and look over to the guy and notices that he seems nervous? he plays with his fingers, like a little kid scared of talking to their crush. how cute I thought.

"hey, you seem like you have something you want to tell me?" I asked. "huh!? n-n-o I don't." wow he sure likes to stutter. he's so cute, I smile to myself. "are you sure? you wouldn't be sitting next to me if you wouldn't have something to tell me...I mean all of the other seats are open. heck the whole library is open. the library is practically empty, except for us two and that old Liberian who's about to fall asleep any moment." I point to the lady, who's head is nodding, trying her hardest not to fall asleep and we both laugh. "well...say it. what do u want to tell me. i'm all ears."

I set my book down. giving him all my attention. I hear him take a deep breath in, "okay....here...goes...nothing....Luna Yoo. hellomynameislaiguanlinandithinkyouarereallycuteandihavewantedtobefriendswithyouforawhileandijustwantedtotellyouthat." and he finally breathed out. seriously how could he have said that all in one breath??? I would have passed out.

i couldnt help, but to giggle at his cuteness. "woah okay slow your roll silly. first off, how could I not know your name, we're in the same class, you don't need to tell me. second, don't be nervous I don't bite. third, I'm flattered that you think I'm cute and you seem pretty cute yourself. lasty, of course I would love to be friends with you." "really! you want to be friends with me!?" he says excitedly, enough to the point where he jumps from his chair and yells in victory. and once again I giggle at his cuteness.

"SHHH! BE QUIET YOU KIDS, YOU'RE IN A LIBRARY, THIS IS A WARNING!" frightened by the sudden words of the old Librarian, Ms. Moon, Guanlin became quiet. we look at each other as i whisper "look who's talking. seems like we aren't the ones who should be quiet." and we both laugh. "i can hear you two!" she yells again.

I get up from my chair and grab his hand, to bring him somewhere were we can talk in private and so Ms. Moon won't interrupt us. i take him near the back to sit on some bean bags, behind some books shelves where the libriain for sure wouldn't hear us.

"so, what makes you want to be friends with me? no one wants to friends with me....they all think I'm weird..." I look at him, but he seems to nervous to make eye contact. so I get up and force him to make eye contact with me,"hmm? what's wrong with you? scared to look me in the eye?" I tilt my head while looking at him. a light shade a pink appeared on his cheeks. I let out a little giggle and smile. i cupped my cheeks with my hands. "come on look at me." i pout. "w-well y-ou uh just uh s-seemed lonely and I wanted to be your f-friend." he finally looked into my eyes. a soft glare yet nervous eyes stared back at me. for a moment, it seemed like time had stopped looking into his eyes. I felt my heart skip a beat and a blush creeping on my face. I faked a cough and looked away and that seemed to knock the sense back into the both of us.

minutes passed like hours while I was with him. we talked and talked for forever until I had looked outside and realized the time. "oh no, it's getting dark. we should both get going home, don't want our parents to get mad at us now do we? hmmm?" He sadden and pouted, "ah you're right. I guess we should go home now."

we made our way back to our backpacks when we suddenly got interrupted, by the one and only, old librarian Ms. Moon, "HEY YOU KIDS!!! it's nearly seven o'clock! you guys should go home!" as we were busy getting scolded by Ms. Moon, I sneaked a note for Guanlin. we yelled a 'yes' in unison at her orders. we said our goodbyes and parted ways.
