New town. New school. New house. Well, at least there's a new library. Sitting in a secluded corner of the library, I was reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Suddenly, there was a low buzzing sound. It muffled the steady hum of the air conditioner. I looked around. A girl sitting a few feet away didn't seem to hear it.
Who to... who to... ah!
The buzzing stopped and I heard footsteps. A boy slid into the chair next to me. He wore a beanie, a similar colour to the one I was wearing, except mine had the words 5 Seconds Of Summer.
"Hi... um... I'm Sam... oh my gosh you're so hot I forgot my pick up line."
I rolled my eyes. Unoriginal much? Supporting my head with my arms, I returned to the book. Sam yawned and stretch out his arms, putting one around my shoulders. Rolling my eyes I shrugged it off.
When I finally decided to leave, I noticed Sam was still there. I reached for my bookmark. OH SHIT! MY BOOKMARK! Where was my bookmark.
"I'm guessing you are looking for this," Sam said. He was holding my bookmark. I snatched it from him. Flipping it to the front, I noticed something different.
Crap. CRAP. CRAP! SOMEONE VANDALISED IT! AND SHIT IS THAT PERMANENT MARKER?
I noticed a series of numbers, then the word... Sam.
I stared at him. Call me, he mouthed. Feeling slightly furious, I stormed away. But before I was out of earshot, he shouted, " It's not fair that you know my name but I don't know your's.
I stopped and turn around. "Courtney Collins," I said. Sam laughed. "What?" I demanded.
"You could say... you could say I'm courting Courtney," he managed to choke out between chuckles. Well I guess that was kind of funny?
"Hand, out," I told him. "Why... oh,"
He stuck out his hand. I pulled out the penl I usually stuck behind my ear. Why do I have a pen behind my ear, you may wonder? It's because I usually have artsy ideas
and when I don't pen them down, I tend to forget. I also have a note pad to write them down. It is mostly put in my pants' pocket, unless I don't have one.
I scribbled my phone number on his hand and turned around. Pushing up my wide, black spectacles I walked further and further away from him.
"BYE COURTNEY COLLINS!" Sam shouted.
"SHHHHH!" The girl who was sitting near me looked up hissed. I covered my mouth with my hands to prevent myself from laughing. "I SAW YOU TRYING NOT TO LAUGH!" Sam shouted, yet again.
I turned around and called, "You do know that your tactics are... like as old as Dumbledore, right,"
TSK. The girl "lizard" us, way to loudly, it was almost supernatural. "Who is this "Dumbledore"? If Dumbledore is a barmy old codger, then, yes, I do know that they're cliché."
Obviously, he knows... barmy old codger was used by Dumbledore on himself. "You're making the first call," I said and walked away.
"STOP SHOUTING! I'M TRYING TO READ!" The girl said.
"YOU'RE SHOUTING TOO!" Sam sassed.
Author's note: I am aware that Courtney Collins in not a good name, but it's the best I've got. And I didn't put the author's note at the front because spoiler for the name but the name is like in the title itself. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
Author's note on author's note: That is a really crappy author's note.
