~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When Arabella had woken up the next morning it was Saturday and she had no classes. She had a complete free day and had no idea what to do. Felicity was still asleep and Arabella was not going to wake her up. Felicity was super grouchy in the morning, especially when her sleep was disturbed. Arabella decided to quickly shower and get dressed, doing a natural looking makeup and wearing a maple red crop-top sweater, with black skinny jeans and black boots. Arabella decided to head to the local coffee shop and grab her favorite drink before heading to the library to read.
Arabella decided to walk to the coffee shop again since it was a really nice day outside. She enjoyed the workout and the way the breeze blew against her face. When Arabella made it to the coffee shop, she went up to the counter that was free and immediately ordered a caramel macchiato. It wasn't a long wait for a drink, which she was thankful for. She headed to the sugar and creamer table and added some sugar to her drink before making her way out of the shop and walking in the direction of the library. Arabella made it successfully into the library and gave a smile to the librarian that greeted her when she walked in.
She set her stuff down and began to read her copy of Wuthering Heights. It was her second favorite book, right after Pride and Prejudice. Arabella really enjoyed finally getting some peace and quiet time to herself to sit down and read a book with a warm drink. She felt like she hadn't gotten many of those since she first started college. College was very time consuming and stressful, but she knew the higher education was worth it. Arabella was enjoying herself in this blissful moment before it was effectively ruined. Hardin Scott had entered the library, and would've went about his business if he hadn't of spotted Arabella sitting down and reading.
For some reason, the sight of Arabella leaning back on the couch in the library with a smile on her face, her book in one hand and her drink in the other, made Hardin want to bother her. So that's exactly what he did. Hardin made his way over to Arabella and sat right next to her on the couch. Arabella, feeling the dip in the cushion as someone presented themselves beside her, looked up from her book and side eyed Hardin. She rolled her eyes before going back to reading, choosing not to acknowledge him.
"So you're just going to ignore me like that?" Hardin questions. Arabella simply hums, flipping a page in her book.
"You know Dara just because you choose not to acknowledge me, doesn't mean I'll go away." Hardin says with a boyish smile on his face. Arabella deadpans him a looks.
"Don't you have anything better to do?" She asks him. Setting her book face down on her lap.
"Me? You're the one reading in a library on a Saturday." Hardin gives her a sarcastic smile.
"By choice. I also was hoping for a relaxing free day without any annoying interruptions." Arabella quips back. Hardin chuckles dryly.
