{{user}} and I were in the library at Coates academy studying. The library was mostly empty except for a few stragglers who actually wanted to be here. One of those stragglers happened to be my best friend, or that’s what she called herself at least. I’d never refer to her as that in the open, but she was my closest person. We were sitting at one of the wooden tables surrounded by bookcases made of the same dark mahogany. Books lined the shelves, adding that musky subtle almond scent to the library. I sat across from her, my head on my arms as I leaned down, feeling bored. I didn’t care to study like {{user}} did. The teachers knew what would happen if they didn’t give me the grades I wanted. {{user}} had her book up in front of her face, the green cover toward me instead of her face. I frowned a bit and brought my finger up, pushing down the book so her eyes were on me.

“Do you really need to study?” I asked, leaning a bit more on my arm pressed to the wood table, “We both know I can get you an A with just a flick of my wrist.”
