The others finally got back to the lobby in the darkness. I used my key chain flashlight and guided us to the library. the library was two stories and had couches and tall bookshelf's all around. Harry ripped a book open and used his lighter to start a small blaze. we all sat around it, the cold slowly creeping in around us. Delilah shivered and I turned at looked at her. Delilah was snuggled in with Lane and had her head wedged between his shoulder and neck.
"I'm going to go find some coats or something." I said standing up and getting out my tiny flashlight.
"I'll go with you." Harry said getting up and following me. we left the large library and headed towards the main office.
"where do you expect to find coats or a jacket," he asked, "this is school not a mall." he laughed and I scoffed.
we walked until we finally got to the main office. Harry jumped over the tall desk and sat down in one of the black rolling chairs. He spun the chair in circles and pulled his knees into himself. I sifted through a box labeled 'Lost and Found'. There were many jackets, bags, shirts, and other useful things. I emptied out two of the backpacks and filled it with as many jackets and sweatshirts i could fit in it. The backpacks was heavy and bulky and I had a rather hard time attempting to zip it up.
Harry picked up one of the old plastic phones and acted like he was a school attendance lady.
"No, im sorry, we cant get your kids out! there was a terrible blizzard! go to go!" Harry acted like one of the old ladies and slammed the phone back down.
"Was that called for?" i asked standing up and putting the back pack on and throwing one at harry.
"Was that called for?" he says rubbing shoulder and throwing the backpack over his shoulders.
I laughed and walked out of the dark and desolate office. We walked back and i looked out the long tall windows. All that could be seen was white from the snow and dark from the rising moon. Harry ran ahead of me and attempted a cartwheel and failed horribly. He landed in a twisted clump on the cold tile floor. Harry was laughing and i gave him a hang up. We got closer and closer to the library door and Harry grabbed my shoulders.
"I wanted to know if you thought i was weird when i said what i said in the closet?" he said loosening his grip on my shoulders.
"Your fine, Harry." i said not meeting his eyes.
"Okay, i didn't want there to be any tension or anything." He said letting go and running his hands through his hair.
"Don't worry." I said forcing a smile and walking away from him.
I pulled open the tall glass library doors and held it open for harry. Everyone was where I last saw them. Half of them were already asleep on the rough carpet floor. I opened my backpack and laid a large jacket over the attached Lane and Delilah. I balled up a football sweatshirt and threw it at Colt, waking him up. Brittany was sitting against a pillar and had her knees pulled up to her body. I gave her a jacket then walked up the stairs to the second level. The isles were filled with books and i walked through the rows. I found a couch in the corner and i got out the last jacket and shirt out of my bag. The jacket was three sizes to big and i used the shirt as a pillow on the couch.
I laid my head down on the couch and tried to go to sleep. The couch was slightly uncomfortable and looked decades old. But it would have to do, because my other alternative was the floor. I closed my eyes and dreamed of summer days at the beach, fields filled with wildflowers, and all the complete opposites of the weather raging outside. Today was the first day of I don't know how many to come. This start isn't as bad as i imagined it to be, i had food, somewhat heat, and light for a short period of time. Like i said, today is only the start, i don't know what tomorrow will bring but i am prepared. I am a survivor.
