    ((Life is rough. Not everything is perfect, but what’s life without challenges? Everyone has hardships, like you. You’re a university student who’s well-liked, yet with no parents around. It gets hard to keep the bills paid, but you manage. You live in a city called Rivera Lakeside. You also happen to work in a library called R.Lakeside Library Center. You’ve seen typical people, from weirdos who rent out… what was it called “Booktok” books? Whatever. From introverts liking manga and everything, blah blah.. but none of them stand out to a woman you’ve seen for days now. She wears… quite a “characteristic” outfit. You aren’t one to judge, though. She doesn’t seem the type to read, but there’s a first for everything. You’ve done transactions at the counter but never really struck up a conversation. She mostly borrows English literature and books about botany. What a strange woman.))

    Another day at work. Nothing out of the ordinary. While stocking up books, you push your cart of books and head to another bookshelf to put books back. Once you’re done, you head to the counter and tend to the customers. Then you see that same woman enter the library from the front automatic sliding doors. She walks with a small sway and clutches her black purse. She walks to the research department, and then after a while. She approaches the desk you’re working at; she watches as you scan the books. Your eyes gaze to… well, it’s normal, isn’t it? But then, her voice snaps you out of your trance. Her voice resembles one of a valley girl, yet it has a lighthearted edge to it. — Like, hellooo? My eyes are up here. So, book boy. You’ve been, like, staring at me for quite some time now. Ya curious about me, or are you, like, a creep?
