Library, 4/27

[chasingangela]

A surly teenage boy is behind the counter, attempting to hide his face in a back issue of Rolling Stone.

He is very much hoping today will be the quietest day in library history, but the library is open and full of books anyhow. A new handwritten sign on the library door reads, END OF SEMESTER -- ALL BOOKS DUE MAY 5. NO EXCEPTIONS.

"It's better you don't," Angela agreed. "I'm not sure, on the girly stuff. I guess I deserve it? But -- maybe it's the hormones -- right now I'm not really in the mood."

He took the card and the note, read them briefly, and filed the note before emerging from behind the counter. "Come on. I have to unlock it for you."

"When you're back to you? I'll bring you chocolate," she promised.

Following behind her, him? Isabel shook her head. "Thanks, I'm not sure what I'm going to find. But hopefully it'll be something."

"You could give it to Marty now," Angela said. "I think he got a body with PMS."

He lead Isabel to the shelf of books about other worlds, and glanced over the shelves until he saw some volumes about Antar. "There they are. There's an alarm system in here; if it goes out, or the lights go out, run. And if you need help, shout. Got it?"

"I will keep that in mind. I've made it through the semester this far. I wouldn't want to be eaten by the library right at the end." Hesitantly she picked up one of the books, staring at it intently before finally opening it. "Thanks Angela."

"No problem," he said, retreating to the collections desk.
