We met at the Library - Ponyboy

why am i lowkey nervous to start this ?? oh well lol

"Ponyboy, if you want to fix that D you better get your ass to the library!"

Darry more or less screamed. I sighed, giving up on arguing with him. I stood up, grabbed my backpack and began my walk to the library.

Why do I even have to go? I can just do the work at home!

Before I seriously began contemplating turning around and going home, I was at the front doors of the library. Reluctantly, I walked in and sat at a table and I began reading. I didn't even get to the second page before I heard the librarian speak up.

"Good morning, y/n!"

"Good morning Mrs. Wood!"

I lifted up my head to see the most beautiful girl ever walk into the library.

"Holy hell."

I whispered to myself.

"How many returns did we get yesterday?"

"85. You're gonna be here for a while."

The librarian said, lifting up a huge crate of books over the counter and handing it to the girl.

"Well shoot. I'll get right to it!"

"Thanks y/n!"

y/n? A pretty name for a pretty girl.

I had heard that name somewhere. My eyes followed her to a book shelf, where she put the books on a cart and started shelving them. Her delicate features stood out in the flourescent lights, making her look almost angelic. The color of her dress complemented her skin so wonderfully.

I was put out of my trance when she turned her head towards me and made quick eye contact with me. I swiftly turned away and hid my face in the book, my face as red as a tomato. I heard her giggle and I nearly died.

"Why don't you go talk to her?"

The librarian spoke to me.

"What?"

"Well, if you're too distracted by her to read why don't you go talk to her?"

I turned my head to look at her again, then at the librarian.

"I.. I guess."

I gently sat down my book and carefully walked toward y/n. The closer I got, the closer I heard her humming while she shelved books. When I reached her, I didn't exactly know what to say. I shoved my hands in my jacket pockets and finally spoke up.

"Hi."

It took her a second to put down a book and turn to me.

"Hi."

ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod

"What brings you to the library? You aren't a regular here."

She asks, furrowing her eyebrows. A playful smile was painted on her face.

"Oh, just came to get out of the house I guess."

"I understand that."

She turned away from me again to move the cart and continue to shelve books. I followed her and started talking to her again.

"So, I didn't exactly catch your name.."

"y/n. Y/n l/n."

Her smile seemed to never disappear off her face.

"Well y/n, I'm Ponyboy."

"Hmm. Cool name."

"Thanks, Where do you uhh.. go to school?"
