Chapter 9 - Books and a Boy
I took in all the colours and letters around me, inhaled the smell of fresh parchment, my hands caressed the spines that were in front of me and I smiled. I was surrounded by so many different genres of books. I loved book and I loved reading. My parents decided to go shopping in the city centre this weekend, but I couldn't manage all the walking they'd do so they just let me stay here, in Waterstones. And luckily WHSmith was next door so I could over there as well. Right now I was browsing through the teen-fiction section. My parents had given me £25 to spend and I was definitely going to spend all of it. I was searching through all the title for a book called Brisngr. I loved the inheritance cycle books. I already had Eragon and Eldest at home and I was tired of borrow Brisngr out from the library and wanted my very own copy. Yes! I though. I'd finally found but with my luck it was right on the top shelf. I put both crutches under my left shoulder and reached out with my right hand trying to grab Brisngr. As my fingers finally reach the base of the spine of Brisngr my crutches slipped forward. I tried to reach out to catch myself on the bookcase my hands missed and i was falling backward. I closed my eyes waiting for the pain.
I kept my eyes closed tight but the pain never came. That was strange. I opened my eyes slowly and saw a guy smiling down at me. He was the hottest guy I'd ever seen. He had warm indigo eyes, perfect pale skin and dark brown hair that went down to his eyes nearly covering them. After a second I realised that he must have caught me smiled.
"You alright?" the hot guy asked. His voice was magical and hypnotising.
"Umm yeah" I replied nervously. He slowly set me down on my not taking his eyes off me and handed me my crutches. "Thanks"
"No worries and I think you were trying to get this." He showed me Brisngr.
"yeah"
"If you want I can carry it around for you, I'm going to be here for a while. My sisters gone shopping and she usually takes hours. Plus maybe you could you could show me some good books"
"Yeah that sound great" I said smiling at him I couldn't take my eyes off him.
"My names Jonathon but people usually call me John"
"Mines Amy"
We talked for ages while searching for books. I found out the he'd just moved here with his family and he lived like 10 minutes away from me. we talked about books and some arguments about who was a better author, Rick Riordan or Terry Pratchett? I had an amazing time. I bought 5 new books and made a new friend.
