The day went by pretty quickly, the next thing I knew I was in the library. Did I mention, I volunteer here everyday. Just to get the extra marks obviously. But I frankly adore it here. I took a gulp of my Dr. Pepper, while munching a red skittle.
The atmosphere seemed quiet yet enchanting. The smell of the old books filled the air. Gosh, I love books, I love the feeling they give me when my heart aches and my mind goes into overdrive as I try to predict the coming events.
Before I knew it, I was dozing off to a deep thought, I thought about why the stars are aligned this way and I thought of why the earth is round. I would never know the answer.
Suddenly, the actual librarian said it was closing time. How did everything go by so fast I thought, I said a goodbye to the middle-aged woman and left carrying my backpack and phone on my right hand.
The sky was dark, yet I could still see the deep variations and subtle gradations of chiaroscuro. It's eerie and impulsing breeze blowing on my skin.
As I was admiring the awfully beautiful sky, I heard footsteps behind me.
"Remember, you still owe me. Bye Collins." Jake smirked and got into his car with his football jersey on.
I got into my car and started driving away.
Reaching home, I wasn't feeling hungry so I walked up the stairs and into my room. Showering was the first thing I did as I got into my room.
Then brushed my teeth, putting on my SpongeBob Squarepants pajamas and finally going to bed to have my deep slumber.
The next morning, my normal routine of going to school and going to class continues.
I sat on my chair in Physics class while doodling pictures of faces i don't recognize.
I felt a sudden hit on my back, I turned around and saw Jake pretending to not know what he just did.
I ignored him and continued with what I was doing. And I felt it again.
i scowled and made a face at him. He just chuckled at me, after awhile I felt it again and again.
When finally I had enough, I said "What do you want!". Little did I know, I said it too loud. The whole class was staring at me, including the teacher.
Jake burst out laughing, he was having so much fun wasn't he?
"DETENTION TO BOTH OF YOU!" Mrs. Macmickle screamed.
I huffed and leaned my face on my palm which was elbowing the desk.
The bell rang and I picked up my books before anything more embarrassing happened to me.
