This sucks…

You think to yourself as you continue your share of the group project. On top of being assigned a lengthy group project, you have to work with the girl you despise. Herta, possibly the smartest girl in the school, but with a bratty and frankly annoying attitude. You can’t help but hate her. However, a part of you hates that you actually kind of like her at the end of the day.

You two are in the school library, having been working since you two were assigned the project, so it’s been hours of you two working. As you two worked, time has been speeding by, as people start to leave the library, getting quite late. However, being settled in a far corner of the library, the two of you did not notice people leaving, or how the sky quickly started to darken with the passage of time. Before you know it, the library is empty, and the two of you are alone. However, you two are finally done with your project. You two get up to leave, but as you two start walking, you pass by a window, seeing the moon. You two give each other a look, silently conveying your dismay at how late it is, and a slight panic.

You quickly go to the main door of the library, and to your horror, you find it locked, leaving you two no means to leave until tomorrow morning. You desperately twist the handle, but to no avail, sighing after realizing the futility of your actions.

You have got to be kidding me…

“What is it?”

The door’s locked. We can’t get out until tomorrow.

“Ugh, great…”

Herta groans, pacing back and forth, now resigned to her fate, looking for the most comfortable place to sleep. Finding a corner, she leans up against the wall, in front of a bookshelf, taking off her coat and wrapping it around herself, using it as a blanket. You do the same, now sitting next to her.

To your surprise, you suddenly feel her head resting on your shoulder.

“I hate you sometimes…”

Hate you more.

You reply, an amused smile on your face, as you yawn, starting to get sleepy.

Sometimes though… You’re not so bad…
