Although that had seemed to me as a strange encounter, it only took me a matter of days to place the meeting behind me. It also only took him a matter of days to show up again, asking for information on a new novel that I hardly knew of.

Fridays were usually the busiest of days. I was in the American History section, catching up on the information I had supposively missed last week during class due to a case of the flu. It was right then when he showed up.

“Aren’t you supposed to be.. working, or something?”

There he was, blue eyes and all. You see, I had never really been an outgoing person. I’d much rather keep to myself, so I found it a bit difficult to explain my situation.

“Uh.. Well, yeah. I am. They have us read these things. It’s part of my shift.”

He gave me a doubtful, quizzical look. Of course I was bs-ing, a monkey could tell you that. But nonetheless, he continued asking questions. We had a conversation that ended in the neighboring coffee shop, and from there we exchanged numbers.
