'I found this girl on my bus... Love is very clichéd, we need to this love to be inevitable.'
Adrian Bailey is the typical, intelligent man who works as a barista at the oh-so-fancy Costa.
Yet, he has to take a bus to get to work.
He knows mostly everyone who gets on that bus. Not personally but all of them are his acquaintances.
But, on the chilly, brisk late afternoon of December 1st - a new girl is on that bus.
She stands out.
She carries a tiny red, leather notebook.
She always has her nose in a story book.
All I know her as is my 'Book Girl'.
And, as they say;
Don't judge a book by it's cover...

Into the Unknown
Evelyn Monroe's first day at Harrington University was supposed to be nothing more than the usual nerves of a freshman-until she encountered Adrian Blackwood. A young, charismatic professor whose presence filled the lecture hall, he quickly became the talk of the university. But there's more to him than meets the eye. Adrian's lectures aren't just about books-they're an exploration of the human mind, the darkest corners of it. He poses questions that make Evelyn's skin prickle, pushing her to think in ways she's never dared before. His gaze often lingers, intense and calculating, as if he's studying her every move. There's an unsettling depth to him that draws her in, yet leaves her feeling like she's standing on the edge of something she can't quite comprehend. Evelyn, a quiet and introspective literature student, has always found comfort in the written word, but Adrian's presence makes her question the lines between fiction and reality. His interest in her, though subtle, is undeniable. It's in the way he watches her during class, the quiet moments after lectures when their eyes meet, and the questions he asks that seem to cut deeper than a simple academic discussion. Though Evelyn doesn't understand it, she begins to feel a strange pull toward him. A mix of curiosity, intrigue, and unease. It's as if Adrian knows something she doesn't-something hidden beneath the surface of their everyday interactions. As she tries to focus on her studies and adjust to university life, she can't shake the feeling that her life is about to change in ways she never expected. With every class, every encounter, Adrian seems to reveal a new layer, and Evelyn finds herself wondering just how much she really knows about the professor who has begun to occupy her thoughts more than she'd like to admit.
