Chapter 3

I think I am going crazy. This energy doesn't seem anywhere to be found. I turn around and head to the bookshelf. My fingers slide lightly through all of the books until suddenly, out of nowhere, I pull out one of them. My body shivers when I touch the book that seems full of electricity. It is an old book covered in dark leather. Especially the cover has a mysterious vibe I can't put into words. My eyes wander to the caption that says "Only the chosen ones will understand". Confused about the title I turn to page 1 but as I am about to start I hear Mrs Loomie calling: ,,Attention please, Unfortunately we have to close the library in 10 minutes due to the teachers conference, thank you." I sigh and take the book to Mrs Loomie to register my Name on the List. As she tilts up her head I can tell that she holds back her laugh the moment her eyes glance at my hello kitty patch on my forehead. To change the unspoken topic I put on my friendly smile and say:,, Hello Mrs Loomie, Could you please register my Name and the book that I am taking with me, please?"
I put the book down on her table so she can read the caption and all the other information she needs. But I notice how her eyes widen as she glances through the book up and down. This unbelievable expression on her face makes me question if there is something wrong with the book. Slowly she turns her face to me and says: ,,Darling , Nina is it right? Could you be a sweetheart and read the information I need I forgot to take my glasses with me today." Oh ok, besides the Mistake of my Name which provoked me just a little bit , there is nothing wrong with the book rather there is something wrong with her eyes. I smile:,, It is Tina actually and yeah no problem. So the caption says „Only the chosen ones will understand" but there is no author given." I look through the book a second time but eventually there is still nothing to add so I turn my head to Mrs Loomie. HOLY SHI.... this women scared the hell out of me. Her face seems almost as white as a wall, she is shaking and her expression on her face looks like there is man with a gun pointed at me. For a second I really thought I might die. Out of breath I say:,, Jesus Women what happened?'' As if she was the last 2 Minutes in Trance she finally found her way back to reality and stumbles words like :,, ehm so... mhhh.. I.. You know what? Take the book it is all yours. A gift. So if you will excuse me I have to go now, nice speaking to you Nina."
,,Actually its Tina!" I call after her fully perplexed about the situation that had just happend. My mind gets interrupted by the surprising hug of my best friend Unique.
,,Where were you the last hour?" her eyes wander to the book. ,, And Jesus why would you take a book with... actually what is it? Chinese handwriting or Hieroglyphes?" I look at her completely questionable. ,, What do you mean Hieroglyphes ? Can't you read the caption?" I ask back. She burst into laughter ,, As if haha Tina not even you could manage to read this whatever this is." This is the most confusing day I have ever had and I will certainly not continue this conversation so I change the topic ,,Your right Anyways how was your date with Brian?" Her eyes widen as I mention his Name and I know she is excited to tell me everything that has happened. So I put the Book into my bag while listening to Unique.
