Taylor was usually a focused person. Anyone who knew her understood that when the week of finals loomed closer, she would be spending most if not all of her time at her local university library, with towers of books on either side of her, as if to conceal her face and therefore her existence from neighboring people who might stop to say hello.

Every time she was at the library, Taylor always made a beeline to the table close to the other side of the large spacious room and settled down with books spread all around her, in fact, coupled with the number of books all over the table and Taylor's annoyed glare whenever someone made a move for the table she was at, the patrons at the library knew to not sit at whatever table she occupied that day.

Apparently, one person did not get the memo.

Taylor peeked up from the Chemistry book she was dutifully studying at the sound of scratching, almost like the sound of someone pulling a chair back to sit down. But that's impossible, everyone knew that whatever table Taylor sat at, that table was taken for a long while. She pushed aside a couple of books to give a snappy retort to the unfortunate soul who had decided to plonk themselves down without her say when her mouth froze, midway.

Ironically, the poor unfortunate soul was her because the girl sitting across from her was hot. Like drop dead gorgeous hot.

Her straight and sleek hair was short and ended close to her shoulder and slightly after her chin in a beautiful blonde color. Taylor itched to run her hands through the blonde strands which she was sure would feel soft to the touch. Wait. What am I thinking? Taylor subtly tried to shake her head in an effort to rid herself of the weird thoughts. Perhaps, it's just the heat. Ah yes, it must be that June is almost upon them after all. I'll take a break after a couple more notes and then-

"Are you alright?"

Taylor looked up at the smooth but concerned voice from the girl across from her and noticed that the other was staring at her with a raised brow, her complexion was a slight pale with brows that looked impeccably perfect. Her green eyes seemed to stare deep into Taylor as if dissecting her thoughts one by one and Taylor quickly jerked her gaze away from her.

"I'm fine," she muttered, feeling heat creep across her cheeks and knew she was blushing like mad. Why on earth was she acting this way? No other person had made her this flustered.

"Alright," the girl said with a shrug but she didn't look that reassured, and silence once again commenced. Taylor tried in vain to study again but her eyes kept involuntarily drifting off towards the slim looking girl sitting with one arm propped on the table with her head resting on the propped up fist and the other idly turning the pages and taking a couple of notes when needed. Taylor felt like she remembered the girl from somewhere, obviously, if she was at the university library then she must go to the same uni as her. But did they share any of the same classes? And if they did, how could Taylor have ever missed this girl or forgotten her look?

Evening was dawning and most of the patrons of the library had already left, Taylor was just planning on calling it a night, having completely forgotten about the break she was planning on taking when she by chance took a peek at the notebook of the other girl. There were plenty of symbols and numbers and mathematical equations scribbled all over in handwriting that looked messy but also very neat.

Wait a minute. Mathematical equations?

Taylor never forgets a face and if her brain is saying that she's seen this girl before then that means she must have seen this girl before, and if she has then that means this girl was supposed to be studying Chemistry just like Taylor. So why was she taking notes about math when the finals are nearly two weeks away?
