A Girl With The Spectacular Book

The thief

On the following day, while going to the college with Paul, Alex found Blake and Alexandra taking coffee along with some snacks. They were respectively in blue and black dresses with a quiet fresh complexion in the morning. Alex wasn't so playful with girls but his alter ego(Paul) had kept his eye staring at Alexandra in order to get her attention towards him. Suddenly Barry appears behind them putting his both hands on one of their shoulders. "I have seen your eyes on her, now tell me who is she?"-Barry said making his grip powerful over their shoulder."No, we really Don't know Barry. Because you know that its our second day here including yours too so how we shall be familiar with anyone?"-Paul said smiling foolishly.
"Yes, you are right. But that girl with golden hair remembers me of someone-Barry said emotionally, "Anyways enjoy your day buddy". And then he left.
Then, after a few minutes of his leave, a man of about 22 years old came running from the behind and went ahead of them while hus shoulder stuck Paul's half left back. "Hey man! Don't you see?" exclaimed Paul.
Suddenly he snatched Blake's bag and continued runnin straight.
"whoa...Alex, Did you see that?", said Paul. By that time, Blake cried out loud in a piercing voice"Hey, you thief!", and forthwith she grabbed her mouth tightly with her both hands (like she had committed any mistake) while a pin drop silence surounds the whole area.
Finding an innocent and modest girl, to come out to be so energetic, Alex and Paul remaained in inaction for a second.
"Hey Paul, let's go", said Alex. And in the next moment, they started following the man to get the bag back. They kept running and slowly getting near to him with each step. Eventually, in a groove street, where he was just a stone throw away from them, he stopped and knocked both of them down by his both fists after turning back. But doing so, the bag slipped away from his hand to Alex's and Alex's Id card left broken into the robber's hand. And now, he was crying over the split milk in frustation after loosing the bag and didn't dared to snatch it back from Alex as they were two.
Getting a chance, when they were fallen, he started to flee from there and again but only Paul followed him this time. Meanwhile, Alex noticed a book looping out half from the bag on the ground. He took it out and found titled as "The ins and out" on its cover. And smelling a rat, he kept that book into his own bag which he has hanged on his back.
Then after few minutes, Paul returned back to him with no gain.
"You okay", Alex asked.
"Yes, but he betean a hasty retreat", replied Paul while panting and resting his hands on the knees.
