[Ellie's POV]
My plan for Tuesday was the exact same as the day before: to avoid Grayson at all costs.
This meant no talking, no texting, and absolutely no eye contact.
And once again, my first three classes went just fine - then the bell for fourth period rang and I felt nauseous.
When I got to Dr. Davis' room I reluctantly sat down at my station and forced myself to focus on completing a worksheet that I didn't understand remotely. What the hell is a 'theoretical yield'?
Soon enough I was joined by Grayson. He didn't try as hard to talk to me as yesterday and I almost felt bad for ignoring him so aggressively. But I knew I wasn't ready to talk. I had no idea when I'd be ready to talk.
I might never be ready to talk.
The bell rang and I ran once again to the library before I could be seen and followed by him.

Hey where are you? I couldn't find you yesterday either... you ok?
[Me » Soph🦩🦋💛]
Yeah I'm all good, just needed to study... got a big test on Friday.
This was true but it isn't why I came here.
I came here to get a grip, and so far it wasn't working.

[Gray💞😁✌️» Me]:
Please just answer... El I know you're seeing these.
"Excuse me." A voice says.
I notice gray kitten heels standing next to me and I look up to see a woman perhaps in her late thirties whose face strongly resembles that of Blake Lively.
"There's no texting in the library."
"I'm no-"

We need to talk.
"Well someone is clearly texting you."
She points out.
"I'm sorry I'll put it away."
"Thank you," she says, then proceeds to sit across the table from me instead of walking away.
"Is there something else?"
"N-no... no you're fine. I'm Ms. Stevens... the librarian."
"I'm Ellie."
"Upperclassmen?"
"Junior."
"I've never seen you in here before besides yesterday..."
"Is that okay?"
