I chuckled slightly and shook my head. "Does that usually work for you? The cute little remarks and that nice smile." I teased.
He gave me a sheepish look of surprise. "Most girls would be flattered at my attempt to flirt with them."
I scoffed and s...
I closed the main doors behind me and walked along the corridors.
The classroom lights on each side of the hallways were on but the rooms were empty.
I walked up the main steps and made my way to the writing center.
I knew Professor Fitz wasn't here right now, but there was this one time I remembered him saying that there was a small library on the second floor that was a good place to sit or read in peace.
I walked up a couple more steps and found the door on my left.
When I pulled it open, I quickly turned on the light switch. It was cluttered with books and smelled like old wood in here.

Even though it was small. I found it comforting.
I closed the door behind me and dropped my bag by the door. Walking in between two of the shelves, I ran my hands along the spines of the books.
Pulling a random one out of the shelf, I sat on the floor. I scanned the cover of the book and the title read Alice in Wonderland.
I laughed lightly and opened it. I remembered my mom reading this to me when I was younger. It was one of my favorite books.
And now that I was holding it, it just made me sad. I missed her.
I sniffled and felt a tear run down my cheek.
Why did she have to go out that day?
Why did Steve have to go out that day?
You're not supposed to grow up without your parents and if they hadn't gone out that day, I wouldn't have.
I felt my heart begin to palpitate and I snapped the book shut.
My chest rose quickly and I held onto it. Now I could no longer hold back my emotions and tears instantly fell from my eyes.
If she were here I would know what to do about my future. She would be there to guide me.
I closed my eyes and lifted my knees to my chest. I laid my head on my knees and felt my breathing continue to quicken.
The door squeaked open and I held my breath. I quickly wiped my eyes and slowly stood up.
I looked in between the books and saw Will standing at the door.
He scanned the room searching for something.
"Maya are you here?" He whisper yelled.
I rolled my eyes. Why was he following me?
He couldn't see me like this. I looked like a mess and I don't like to cry in front of people.
I crouched down further in hopes that he wouldn't see me. "Maya?" He said again this time with a softer voice. "I know you're in here. I just wanted to talk."
