Otherworldly

A new friend

What is this book?

I slowly open the book, peering around the edge to see what was truly inside. What I saw was nothing but a picture of a small man. I left the book open and walked away with a slight chill running through my back.

Of course I thought nothing of it and went back to sipping on my coffee. But this time I heard a small, "Hello?"
I jumped back in my chair, staring intensely at the book. I looked down on it and saw the man moving.

He was a shy looking fellow. Dark brown shaggy hair, a big T-shirt with a cute quote that read, 'No rain no flowers.' He had sweatpants on and looked up at me with a smile.

"Sorry. I truly didn't mean to scare you," he began twiddling his fingers together, "I just wanted to say hello. It's been quite a long time since someone's checked out my book." He said quietly looking down at his feet.

"Oh, n-no it's okay I was just a bit surprised. You're quite friendly huh?" I said sitting now in my chair more comfortably.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that. I don't mean to scare you but," he paused a moment, "I am actually supposed to be vicious but... you make me feel calm."

I don't know why but this made me blush a tiny bit. I know it's just a drawing but he's, charming... Get out of that thought (Y/N)! It's just a sketch, you can't think like this! He looked at me with a concerned face.

"Miss... Uh," He paused, "I don't exactly know your name..." he said looking up at me with a small grin.

"Oh yeah," I said rubbing the back on my neck awkwardly, "My name is (Y/N)." I said sipping on a bit of coffee.

"Ah, I assume you want to know mine as well right?" He said inching closer to the edge on the paper. I nodded my head.

"I'm Ashley, I know it's a weird name but I'm quite strange too aren't I?"

Before I could answer there was a knock at the door. "(Y/N)? Are you in there?" Said a slightly muffled feminine voice from the other side of the door.

"Just a second!" I said turning back to the book. "Okay Ashley, you need to..." I looked around the table and flipped through the pages. Ashley wasn't there...

(Wassup my peeps! Hope I'm not scaring anyone off with my weird writing. If you follow QuacksonSpideyboi please don't be mad at me for their latest chapter! I only mean well. Hope y'all don't hate me. Love everyone, peace out fam (*☻-☻*))
