Library [09/17]

Sam had stopped for coffee and breakfast this morning, so he was totally alert by the time he got to the library. Whether this would translate to him doing active work, or if he'd just read more, was anyone's guess.

Sam made sure everything was set up for the library to be open, and then kept himself busy at the computer, looking for overdue books and checking his e-mail.

Instead of wandering aimlessly through the shelves today, Sam headed straight for the self-help section, and came back to the desk with The Long-Distance Relationship Survival Guide. This could be a very long year if he didn't get some advice.

Sam was still at the desk, nose buried in his book.

Although the announcement was physically painful to his ears, Sam couldn't stop himself from grinning. It was always nice to get what he wanted without the universe getting in his way somehow.

Sam was back at the desk, still reading like a geek. There was a reason he never, ever got tired of this job.

Sam stuck around until the very end of the period, in case anyone needed something at the last minute.

Oh Thursdays, how I love you and the television that you bring to me!

Chuck had been on his way to the library when the (painful) announcement was made. So he was looking proud when he came into the library with food for the both of them. "Congratulations on winning. Truly, your geekery knows no bounds."

"It's not geekery," Sam said. "It's fun. It's like leadership, in a way."

"Well I don't know about fun but I guess it'll look good on college applications," he said. Chuck knew non-legacies needed all the help they could get. "Between you and Jean I've got quite an in with the student government now, don't I?"

"Yeah, I guess you do," Sam said, laughing. "And yeah, it'll look good on applications and scholarship forms, just like everything else I do."

"I think that if I wanted to go to college I'd abuse my wealth and privilege to get in," Chuck decided. "Seems a whole lot easier."

Andy came in for his weekly book exchange. "Hey heard the announcement, congratulations."

"Well, that's an option for you, but not for the rest of us," Sam said, pausing for a moment in realization. "What do you mean if you want to go to college?"

Sam beamed back at him. "Thanks! I'm really excited."

Chuck raised an eyebrow. "Why would I go? I've already got a job set out for me. Nepotism is hard at work here."

"You're going to do that without going to college?" Sam asked.

"Well...yeah," Chuck said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Trust me, real estate is way more about dealing with people and using common sense than being book smart. Look at Donald Trump. He's a complete dumbass. Granted, he raised a fine looking daughter who can put her legs behind her head, but, still, a dumbass. And yet he's rich as hell."

Not as rich as the Basses but still, he had a skyscraper and everything.

Gabrielle, who could be quite the voracious reader when she wanted to be (it helped to have an inexplicably convenient lack of language barriers, funny how that worked), had finished both the volume of Sappho and the copy of When the Love of Your Life Is Your Best Friend that she'd started, and subsequently checked out, yesterday.

Knowing perfectly well that they might get lost in her room -- she wasn't used to having places to put her things any more! -- if she didn't bring them back in, she headed into the library after driver's ed and came up to the desk with the books in her arms.

"Hello," she said cheerfully to the very, very tall boy from her literature class.

Claire came in with coffee for Sam and hot chocolate for herself.

She noticed the title of the book when she handed him his cup. "Hey, Sam. Missing Peter, huh?"

Sam glanced up, and looked a little sheepish as he took the cup. "Yeah, it's not the same without getting to see him every day," he said. "But I'm dealing with it okay, I think. How are you?"

"Hey," Sam said, smiling in return. He marked the page he was on and set his book down on the desk to give her his full attention. "Can I help you with something?"

"I figured you had to at least get through college," Sam said. "You're just going to start working right away?"

"Oh, just returning these," Gabrielle said, holding the books up. "I could just put them away myself, but the library does have rules."

"Pretty much," Chuck said, shrugging. "What's wrong with that? Plenty of people do it."
