You Owe One Book

I never knew how much fun it could be, sitting on rooftops and counting stars with your best friends can build relationships to last a lifetime. I was never a social person, I never had these so called friends, I always got in fights and had ‘anger issues’. After I punched the principal and got expelled I never applied to another school. The only thing I do these days is read. I have read so many books its probably unhealthy, without books and my older brother Shiro, I wouldn’t have gotten a semi-colon. Well I guess this is kind of where this story begins, me at the library looking for another book, I decided on ‘Gone With The Wind’. Yes it was the third time this week I have read this book. I’m not sure why but the story line gets me everytime to the point I feel chills up my spine reading each page. My love for this book is a boundless amount. Disproportionate to a point of guilt for reading this book so much. Anyways I plan on going to another school after what happened at my last one I still need to graduate and things like that. I realize how important it is but oh well.

I grabbed the book off of the shelf and smiled, I thought about buying the book before but just didn’t have the money to. I turned around to see a slightly annoyed brunette looking mad at me. I raised my eyebrows confused as hell. I have gotten better at my anger since the principal. The only reason I punched him was because he pushed me over the edge. Anyways back to this guy. He just pointed at the book then I pointed at the book. He nodded, I wanted to read this book today and so I will. I shrugged and turned around walking away to go check out the book not caring what annoyed being thinks. I finally finished checking out my book and walked out the doors. “Hey!!” I turned around, head down, getting annoyed I just wanted to read my book, nothing more, nothing less. I looked up to see who was bothering me. It was the dude from inside. “Hey Mullet!! I need that book.” he said rather dryly and unamused. “Go buy it then, and I don’t have a mullet.” I replied getting annoyed, I turned around again and walked away. “Please!!” He said ignoring the mullet part most likely. I kept walking after he gave this response. “I’ll buy you the book just not right now, I just need that book I have an english assignment an-“ I turned around and cut him off rather quickly replying happily. “Really?! You will??” Shocked he looked at me and smiled. “Of course.”

After going back into the library and turning the book in I handed it to him with a piece of paper. I added my number to it because I want this book extremely bad. I’ve wanted it for over a year, and can’t wait to get this book. When I handed him the note, he said “Keith? The name’s Lance.” He then walked away muttering something about needing to text, but how it was a drag. Maybe I should sign up for school, it wouldn’t be that bad, right?

Note:

Well if I get a book out of this....
