And I Do

Chapter 1 Briella's POV

I stroll through the shelves of the bookstore. I close my eyes and smile to myself. This is what pure happiness feels like. I quickly open my eyes, realizing I must look ridiculous. I head over to my favorite section; Sci-Fi. I scan my eyes over the rows of books until I see one that looks interesting. I reach out to pick it up. Just as I touch the book, a hand bumps into mine. I quickly draw my hand back and turn my head to see the hand's owner. It's a boy...a cute one. He has spiked brown hair and tan skin and appears to be about my age. My heart beat picks up speed. I blush, glance at my feet, and mumble "sorry". The boy gives a little chuckle. I work up the courage to look at him again.
"My name's Dylan" he says with a sideways smile.
I have to form a coherent sentence if I want him to think I'm halfway normal. "I'm Briella" I manage to say.
"So you're a James Dashner fan?" he asks.
I'm confused for a second until I realize he's referring to the book we both reached for. I hadn't even noticed who the author was.
"Yeah, I've read The Maze Runner series" I tell him.
"Seriously? Me too!" he responds enthusiastically.
I can't help but smile. He's cute and into books?! I'm falling for him...hard.
"You wanna talk about The Maze Runner over coffee with me?" he asks
"Sure" I answer, not wanting to sound desperate, even though on the inside I'm saying "YES YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES!"
