I already was on on book 35. Oh. This was so enjoyable. I love reading, but I had to admit that I was getting rather tired. Sadly, we still haven't found the answer. The book I was reading is a geography of trolls. All the places that they have been, the history, and culture of those places. Suddenly, Jim slammed his book and yelled, "Book 26. Nothing. This last one was just a list of toe fungus. Fungi. Fungi! Whatever! I don't care!"
"I'm still on book three. Can't exactly read trollish, so just been kinda looking at the pictures." Toby groaned.
"This is taking forever. What about you, Mo?" Jim questioned.
"On book 35, thanks to Claire and Not Enrique tutoring me, I can kind of understand trollish. Sadly, nothing. Just maps, culture, and history of where the trolls have been over the past thousand years. Intriguing read, but not helpful to our situation." I explained placing the book back on the shelf, then I turned to Blinky, "Any luck, Blink?"
Blinky yawned and woke up. He looks like he has gotten barely any rest the past few days. He yawned, "Excuse me. My zeal for the library sciences seems to be waning. Since I only have two eyes, reading makes them tired very, very fast."
"Dude, you awake? You look terrible." Toby stated.
"I can't conceive why. I've met every one of my daily human needs, three meals a day, eight glasses of water, eight minutes of sleep." Blinky said. He yawned and as he was about to fall back asleep, Jim said, "Oh, Blinky, it's eight hours of sleep! Not..." Sad;y, Blinky fell back asleep. How long has he been running on eight minutes of sleep per day? Poor guy. If I did that, I don't think I would be able to handle being a teacher. I wouldn't have the patience nor the mind capacity.
"And... then there were three. I don't know how many more books I can read before my brain melts. I think this book's about reading books." Toby complained. At this point, I would love to be with Claire and her friends. Just talking about life and being normal for once. I miss that so much. I wonder how my old friends, Elizabeth and Patrick are doing... OH MY GOSH! ELIZABETH AND PATRICK! They are so going to kill me. I've barely hung out with them in the past two months since I've been back!
"Oh my gosh! Uh, Jim! I'll be right back. I have to make a quick phone call. I'll explain later." I said. I took off before Jim or Toby could ask any questions and got out my phone. I dialed Elizabeth's number. I paced back and forth extremely nervous about what I was going to say to her. She answered, "Mo, it's so good to hear from you!"
"Lizzy, I am so incredibly sorry for barely hanging out with you and Patrick! I know that this is the lamest of excuses, but I've just been so busy with work and Jim-" I was interrupted by Elizabeth, "No worries, Mo. I understand. I ran into your mom a couple days ago and she says that you have been helping Jim with some problems he's been having to deal with."
"That's... one way of putting it. Do you want to hang out soon? Tomorrow, you, Patrick, and I could have lunch at the old cafe? My treat. I'll make sure to call him after this." I said.
"Sure! That'll be great! No need to call Patrick. He's actually right here with me. See you tomorrow!" Elizabeth said.
"Bye, guys!" I exclaimed and hung up. I went back into the library to see Jim holding up a bottle and saying, "See! No what to look for and you can find the exact tool for the job. Oh. Hi, Mo! We just got this Elixlore, which is supposed to help enhance our reading. Who were you talking to?"
"Elizabeth and Patrick. I've been so busy with work and helping you guys that I've barely hung out with them in the past two months since I've been back. Tomorrow we've made plans to hang out during my lunch break." I said.
