𝓢at alone in the library, you were looking down at a book that was in your lap. With the upcoming exams, stress was bound to be filling your head.

Yet, even in the peace and tranquility of the library, its quietness seemed creepy—like something or someone dangerous had just entered. It was as if the atmosphere in the room had instantly switched. An eerie feeling had set foot in and had not yet come out.

Whilst your mind pondered its thoughts, you felt a light tap on your shoulder which caused you to jump out of your trance. When you turned your gaze back, you were met with Tom.

If anything, he had been standing there for a few minutes now; examining you in your peace. All alone with no one around. A half-smile planted his lips.

"I had been looking for you," He confessed, his hands clasped in front of him as if he was hiding something. "Although no other knew where you were."

The smile was long gone now and he simply pierced his gaze upon you. His eyes darting from the book in your lap, to your face. "What are you reading?" He asked, the topic had slightly piqued his weird interest.
