"Thanks for being so patient, I've been very busy this week." Hillary stated. "I'm just glad that everything's ready for tomorrow's org week." Hillary added sounding relieved. "Are you ready for the library tour?"

I tried to respond with a decent smile, but I probably didn't make it look so convincing. A part of me somehow felt guilty. I know that Hillary is just being obligated to go around the campus to watch over me, and since the school year just started, she probably has to prepare many events and barely has time for other things.

Hillary noticed, "Oh, did I say something wrong?"

"No, of course not. I am sorry though, for obligating you. I know my parents asked the Dean to have someone look over me on my first days here at Ellington. You're already pretty busy, and I really appreciate you accompanying me. We don't really have to do this tour thing you know." I told Hillary.

"It's alright, I honestly kind of want to." Hillary admitted. "And, I also want to get to know the one and only heir of the Del Rey Empire." She winked and stopped walking. "Well, we're here." She smiled and entered the building.

The library occupied 3 floors of Ellington's Athena building. It was obvious that Hillary spent most of her time in the library. She knew almost every part of it, even the shifting of the employees.

Hillary ended the tour right after she showed me the movie rooms located at the 3rd floor. She said that the movie rooms were formerly used for class film viewing, but when the school installed television sets inside each classroom, the movie rooms were used to borrow and watch movies from the library's collection.

"I guess we're done. Do you have any more questions about the library?"

"No." I smiled. "Although, I think I'll stay here for a little while longer. I kinda have books to look for." I brought a small piece of paper out of my bag where I wrote the books I need for my General Psychology class.

"I could help you look for them. I got nothing to do, and I was just heading home anyway. ." Hillary offered.

Hillary took a look at the small paper that I was holding. "Oh, these are all located on the first floor, let's go!" She grabbed my arm and brought me to the Philosophy and Psychology section.

Hillary and I started to look for the books and went on the opposite ends of the section. After a few minutes, I found one of the books but it was on the top most shelf and I was too small to reach it. I tried to examine the lower part of the bookshelf hoping that there was a misplaced copy or something, then I felt something press against my back.

It was Hillary standing behind me, but when I tried to stand up after turning around, she was already reaching for the book. Hillary slowly moved her head down with her one hand still reaching for the book and noticed that I was trapped between her and the book case. I was frazzled so I wasn't able to move. Hillary took a short stare at me, but immediately stepped backward when she noticed that I didn't feel comfortable.

"Oh my, how did you get there? I'm so sorry." Hillary apologized.

"It's alright, I thought you were going to look in the back?" I asked.

"I was, until I remembered that the OPAC is still open. Then I went to check on your books and saw that one of them is located here. I didn't see you so I figure I'd just grab it myself." Hillary shared.

"Oh right, completely forgot about the OPAC." I admitted. "Thanks." I thanked her as if something awkward didn't just happen.

"Glad to help." Hillary said with a smirk on the side of her mouth looking like she enjoyed what just happened. "I also got the code for the other one, I think it's somewhere in the middle."

"You've helped so much, I-"

"It's okay, really." She smiled and started to walk. I immediately followed her and after a few minutes we were able to find the book. When we were already near the door and on our way out, Hillary seemed to have remembered something.

"Oh wait, could you wait for me here? I'll just have to do something really quick." I gave her a nod. I turned around and saw her quickly go to the bag counter behind us and talked to a teacher standing near. I didn't want to seem like I was spying on them since there was a certain amount of distance between us and they both seemed a little bit upset. I decided to look away when all of a sudden, a person crashes into me.

"Ouch!" I exclaimed, still sitting on my slightly aching bottom.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't expect that anyone would stand so close to the door." The other person stood up and offered a hand.

"Well, maybe next time you-" I suddenly entered a seemingly long pause in such a short period of time after locking eyes with this dark haired beauty.

"...you should be more careful."

I slowly reached for her hand as she carefully helped me up while our eyes were still locked with each other.

"I'm sorry." She uttered in a very soft and sweet voice.

"It's alright, it was kind of my fault too, I was standing near the door."

She slowly let go of my hand and her lips suddenly started to form a smile. I couldn't help but smile back.

"Samantha, let's go?" Hillary approached me from behind and asked. "Oh, I see you've met another club member."

"Hillary?" The dark haired beauty said. "Well, I hate being rude, but I have some errands to run, excuse me." She added with an immidiate change of tone. She gave me a nod and walked away.

"A club member?" I asked Hillary.

"That was Naveen Amber Alvara, daughter of Richard and Melanie Alvara, owners of Alvara Logistics Inc. The most powerful Logistics company in the country and one of the best in Asia. I'm pretty sure that you've at least heard of their name."

"Yes, I have." I continued to stare at the brunette as she walked farther.

"You think she's beautiful, don't you?" Asked Hillary. I immediately turned to Hillary's attention but couldn't respond to what she just said.

"Well, she has to be right? I mean, why else would you stare at her so much the other day?" Hillary's eyes had a smug but her lips formed a playful smile. She turned around and began to head out of the building.

Is that why she thought I was like her?
