"Oh! No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no! Please, God!! This cannot be happening!!"

"Woah, calm down! What's wrong?
"I CAN'T FIND MY MATH TEXTBOOK!!"

"You must have left it in the class. C'mon. We can go check if you want"

"No, Edith I was holding it when we..."

"No!", we both exclaim in unison.

I effin' threw it at...Oh God! I'm scared to even say his name. It happened so fast, I didn't even realize that I threw my book at him.

"What are we gonna do?"

"I don't know.", I almost scream in frustration.

"Please tell me that there's no name on it. Especially not yours!"

"Of course my name's on it! Edith, it's my book!"

The bell rings.

"I'm sorry, I have class. But, we'll figure this out, okay? See you in gym", she says as she walks away. I instantly forward the picture to Edith. You know, just in case...

Oh no. What the hell am I supposed to do? I am scared to even be here right now. My next class was in thirty minutes. Even Cody's got a class.

So, I go to the library and think of doing some homework. Earlier, the better.

I see an empty table and sit down. I needed some reference books. So I just stagger past the reference books aisle as my hands claw down a book when...

I comprehend two glaring blue eyes frowning at me, through the gap between the books

I comprehend two glaring blue eyes frowning at me, through the gap between the books. I gasp, and not softly this time. I put the book back. I begin walking back to where I was sitting. I am walking nervously, almost falling, clenching my fists again.

Help.

THUD!!!

The sudden ominous sound of book thrown against the table with an unfathomably great vertigo and might, sends anxious shivers down my spine.

My math textbook.

"Excuse me, Mr.Rollins! Do you realize that this is a library!", scolds a lady, with a stern voice. It is the librarian.

"I don't CARE!!"

Okay, I'm gonna die. He's definitely going to kill someone today, and it's obviously ME!

"Then, I'm afraid, you'll have to leave", she replies rather in a feeble tone.

He moves closer to her, bearing a deep, beguiling expression. Fear slowly starts to embrace the poor lady's conscious.

"If I hear one more word, then be prepared to never see this library ever again.", he said faintly, stressing on the word ever. She immediately totters back to her desk.
