Library Love (editing)

Chapter One

-

Breathing out,I calmed my nerves as I entered my favorite place on earth.

The Library.

Every book here is a living thing for me,I breathe in every single word in these books and get transported in a new dimension.

I grabbed the old,rusty handle and opened the creaky door.

"Good Mornin' dear,"Spoke the old lady at the counter.

I,Marley Haven,am officially,done with reality untill this place closes.

"Good Morning Genny,how's the knee?"I asked,placing my bag on one of the round reading tables.

"Oh,that old thing?Its doing just fine,haha,atleast I can walk,eh?"She organizing books.

"Yea,and I'm grateful,I don't know what I would do if you couldn't,"I said,truly grateful.

Genny is like a second-grandmother to me,she understands me in every way,anyone can't.

I grabbed the ladder and started stacking up books at the top rows.

Absentmindedly,my foot slipped from the last step and I prepared for impact of the hard-rugged floors,but instead fell into a pair of warm arms.

I pryed my eyes opened,and noticed I'm still hovering over the ground,what?

Then I noticed a looming face over my face and I snapped back into reality,Oh,someone caught me.

Then why were you thinking you were a witch?My inner self said.

Oh,I don't know,I said in reply.

A throat cleared and I was set down on the ground,I felt heat rise to my cheeks as I realized that I was in the persons arms and didn't make a move to get out of the persons arms.

Stupid,stupid,SAY SOMETHING,My inner voice is nice sometimes,what an example.

"O-Oh I-I'm sorry,I didn't-I mean I did see you but-I meant I didn't make a move to get out of your arms-I mean thanks for catching m-me,"I said,I was looking at my vans and when the person didn't reply,I looked up to be met by deep onyx black eyes.

He did make a move to talk but swiftly reached an arm behind me and I got nervous,what was he doing?

He retracted his hand back with a book in his hands and walked away.

What?No,your welcome?Or,its alright,or perferably a,shut up?

I shook my head,that guy has problems.

I walked to the employee room in the back of the library and looked for Rascal.

"Rascal?Where are you?"I said,searching under the tables.

"Meow."

I turned around startled and put a hand over my heart.

"Dear Jesus,Rascal,your going to be the death of me one day,"I muttered.

He simply tilted his head and meowed again.

Rascal was Genny's cat,he was a little orange and grey feline.

She named him Rascal because of his obessesion of making a mess and noises,but all in all he was an understanding cat.

Almost as if he was human.

I took him in my arms and went to search for mystery slash teen fiction romance.

The Towering,Hmmm,interesting.
