    THE LIBRARY, had been so quiet on a Monday Morning. I knew the obvious reason as to why not just the library  but even the school was quiet - and that was because Principal Feathers wasn't here, so not much people bothered to show up. Only the art freaks, the nerds and the average people.

    I sat in the independent zone, also known as the quiet room in the back of the library. Elias and I, were the only ones in here and we were both sitting on the long wooden desks, he was about two chairs over though.

    He kept reading out loud, which I was not a fan of.

    "Can you like read in your head?" I sighed, propping a hand under my chin and fluttering my eyelashes at him.

    He didn't look at me. Great. I was fluttering my eyelashes like an idiot right now.

    Instead he held his hand in mid-air and he waved me off and kept blabbering about microorganisms, protozoa, viruses and other biology related stuff.

    I frowned. "Please read in your head, I can't focus with your—"

    He closed his book and heaved a sigh, before turning to face me with a frown.

    "Then talk."

    "Talk, why?" I asked.

    "Let's talk, because I can't focus in this silence. It's too deafening," his honeycomb eyes bored into mine.

    His eyes seemed gloomy, frustrated and stressed most of all. I looked at the conceived dark circles under his eyes, the lack of sleep made me look down feeling guilty.

    He hadn't been sleeping. What has he been doing at night that didn't get him sleeping?

    The sound of someone scooting two chairs next to mine was heard and I raised my head up at Elias – who had been smiling adorably at me. He had his arms crossed on the table and his face, only staring at me. Me.

    "So, want to speak? Maybe even cause a trouble in the most quiet section of the library?" He snorted.

    I shook my head. "Let's just study—"

    "Fuck studying," he suddenly threw the book across the floor.

    I glanced at the book's pages sprawled on across the floor and pouted, before giving the boy a glare.

    "Fuck you," I retorted.

    Elias' eyes widened, before he cupped his cheeks with his palms pressing against it and smirked inappropriately at me.

    "I'm up for fucking," he winked.

    I shook my head, playing with my fingers. "Stop being dirty," I sighed.

    "Stop being such a Karen. Just have fun with me now, will you?" He pulled my hand from my other hands and cupped them together. I teared my gaze away from my hands as I had faced him moving them up in the air.
