Chapter Three - the princess and knight of libraria

-two months since the first message-

My laptop was open infront of me on the round table with my headphones plugged in.

"Looks like a nice library." Dray whispers in my ears through the headphones.

"You know you don't have to whisper, I plugged my headphones in."

Dray returns to normal talking levels "oh, cool, okay."

I was skyping with Dray at the library in my town. It was our fifth time skyping and I was keen on not letting him see my "lair", so I always came to the library instead.

Dray sort of bounced around the screen, always moving. He never could really sit still.

"You gotta pee or what?" I laugh at him.

"Maybe. But I don't want to leave this conversation."

"Go! Before you pee your pants and embarrass yourself!"

In a flash, he disappeared from the screen.

Dray had brown hair that went down to his ears, Bieber style, but a bit more ruffled, with bright green eyes.

My hair want down to my waist and was bright red. Not ginger, but almost close to it, wavy, and ocean blue eyes.

Dray returned to the screen, still bouncy, but not as much as before.

"Miss me?"

I laugh "yes. I missed you the whole two minutes you were gone. And for a minute there I thought you had been kidnapped."

He grins "kidnapped? Me? Never! I would fight off my captures and bravely rescue thy fair maiden!" He jumps onto his bed and points to the computer.

"I'm no fair maiden!" I run my fingers through my hair and laugh quietly.

"Ah ah ah! Shhh! You are the princess of libraria! And I am thines knight!"

I cover my eyes with my left hand and shake my head, grinning. "Get off your bed and sit down, you promised me you'd show me some more fan art. Don't stall this any longer, your princess demands it."

He laughs and jumps off his bed, but ends up falling.

I laugh hard and loud, earning some questioning stares from the people around me.

Dray jumps up "in fine! I'm fine! Your knight is fine!" He brushes off his pants and then sits down on the rolly chair infront of his desk.

"Okay, there's a couple sabriel, a couple Harry Potter, some Draco and Harry, and- oops you can't see that" he was flipping through pages in a notebook, when he flipped to a page with little doodles and drawings I couldn't make out. He shut the notebook quick and was turning a light shade of red.

"You look like a tomato." I tease him and he sticks out his tongue.

"Shut up!"

I copy him and stick out my tongue, revealing a piercing.

He leans in towards the screen "woaaa! You never told me you had a tongue piercing!" Dray grins evilly, making the corners of his mouth end in a point.

How does he do that?

"I guess I thought you'd figure it out. You're smart enough."

"Oh. hey! Wait! Enough?

I shrug and lean back in my chair.

Across the library, I see my brunette friend Mariett.

"Well, I gotta go. I have to do what originally came here to do; study. I have a huge test Wednesday."

I wave Mariett over.

"Wait! Your brunette friend is there? Let me say hi!"

"Uh, no. I'll talk to you later. Phone call at five, kay?"

Dray nods "okay. See yah later then."

"Bye" I grin and then end the Skype call and shutdown my laptop.
