[Library Romance] Note Exchange

Chapter 5

It was early morning at school, Angela is already in front the library door. She was about to open it when someone suddenly called her name in a bright cheery tone. She looked at the direction where the voice came from and saw Sofia. Sofia was waving her hands at Angela aggressively as she was about to get near in front of the library door beside Angela.

"Angela! It's nice to see you again!", Sofia gave Angela her usual bright cheery smile. Angela smiled and nodded at her in return. Angela somehow just noticed a boy with glasses was behind Sofia. He has blond wavy hair and blue eyes and a head taller than Angela. Sofia noticed Angela was looking behind her and gave a glance to the boy and back at her.

"Oh! I forgot to introduce you. This is Allen Crawford the owner of the piece of paper you found in the library that you handed me yesterday at lunch break.". Sofia explained, talking fast that it looks like she was talking in a breath.

"Our houses are next to each other. He is my neighbor and my childhood friend.", Sofia suddenly grabbed Allen by the arm, making him move forward facing Angela. He was startled by the forceful action that he almost tripped.

This is embarrassing! Allen had a slight blush in his cheeks, not wanting to make any eye contact, he kept his eyes on the floor. Sofia's hands suddenly found its way on his both arms from the back holding them firmly, shaking him a little. He made a little noise that states he's annoyed by her actions.

"You have something to say to her, right? Right?", Sofia said poking her head on the side, since she's behind Allen's back still holding him. Somehow it made him more annoyed than the last. Allen breathed in to calm himself. He finally decided to looked at Angela who was having an amused look. Angela was just observing the both of them.

"Thank you for finding my homework and returning it to me.", Allen gave a slight bow towards Angela. A slight blush returning in his cheeks.

"You're welcome. I was just at the right time and spot when I found it.", Angela bowed in return.

"I'm sorry. She's always like this, annoying people in every way she could.", Allen sighed, his hand on the back of his neck.

"Hey! I'm not annoying!", Sofia pouted at Allen. A slight giggle had escaped from Angela's lips making both of Sofia and Allen looked at her.

"She's not annoying me. She just has a really bright personality.", Angela found Sofia adorable in her own way. Sofia gave her an elated look while Allen gave Angela a puzzled one.

"Are you both coming in?", Angela asked them, her hands already on the doorknob, ready to open it.

"He's originally going there. I'm just tagging along.", Sofia grinned at her. Angela opened the door for the three of them. The librarian greeted Angela as she entered the library.

"I see you have new friends with you.", The librarian beamed at Angela and the other two. The librarian was glad to see Angela with other people since she always sees Angela on her own company.

Oh! I remember one person who does go with her sometimes. She suddenly remembered a tall boy that have dark messy hair with green eyes who somehow always have a bored sleepy look on his face.

"Oh right! Your friend was waiting for you. The one you called Dex? was it?", The librarian said to Angela, unsure of the name.

"I never knew someone named Dex, Erica. Maybe it's Lex.", Angela stated, correcting the librarian. Angela faced the other two who was waiting for her.
