THE NEW ME VERSION 2.0

Chapter 11

The next day, my world is all spinning in preparation for studying, even though I know it's the least important time of the day. You shouldn't worry about taking the trigonometry test next week. I don't even know how the calculator works properly. I don't know if it's because I'm scared or because I can't wait to see aiden again. somehow. When I arrived he was already sitting with his friends. I'm standing at the door and I don't know what to do. You can't go there and just sit there. but then

If I sit somewhere else, I don't want people to think I don't want to sit with them anymore. He laughed at the man in front of him who turned his back on his chair and was gesticulating wildly. But then another bell rang. People still call me when I'm on the street and push me past. Your heart starts pounding when you try to make a decision. I wish he would turn to me and motion me to sit down there again.

But he doesn't pay attention. he can't see me Maybe he doesn't even remember yesterday.

"Okay, find all the places!" the teacher calls out. So I sat down in the seat closest to the door. While the teacher is taking complaints, I keep my eyes on the neck of the child in front of me. I'm the biggest coward in the universe. " Mia Milton?"

I raise my hand and she looks at me.

" Mia Milton?" she repeated louder.

“Here,”

I call back. And I can't help myself. I turned around and saw the back corner of the room where he was sitting. he looks at me I turn around quickly. After the teacher left, I hurried to the front and had my library card signed. As I turned to the door, aiden waved at me and pointed to the empty table next to me with his thumb. As I approached, he walked past me. But I just want to run. But I remember acting normal and smiling I approach him. His friends turn to me. It's like they're judging me, checking my mistakes. aiden says quietly,

"Hey Mia, I've secured your spot."

"Right. Thank you very much. I still go to the library."

He seems disappointed.

"See you tomorrow," he shrugged and pushed it away. "Of course."

And he looked at me with a smile and I felt him looking at me as I walked away. I can't breathe. My heart is light and fast - too fast. I entered the library door and quietly entered his office. I see him sitting at his desk reading a newspaper. I knock softly

"Mia, come in!" she smiled, her voice warm. I am sitting in one of her chairs.

"Hello, Miss Solace."

"Who is responsible for this joy?"

"I just wanted to say hello." I just needed protection. once again.

"That's cute. Thank you, mia." That's that pause, too long of a silence. "You know, I was just thinking about last year. Do you remember when you originally wanted to volunteer?”

"Oh, yeah." I almost forgot about it.

"Well, there are still some openings... if you're interested, go ahead."

"Really? Yes, I am. I mean, yes. absolutely! "

"OK. When are you free?" she asked, viewing the schedule on her computer. "Now I think, I have classes and it's just after lunch, so I might even volunteer for the third and fourth classes. I mean, if you need me, if you need help, I think so."

"Well, I need your help, and I want you," she said sharply, digging through her calendar drawer. "Good! Apparently we are lucky It works great!”

"OK. When should I start? ”

"Now is not the time," she said, making a welcoming gesture with outstretched hands. Solace took me to the register and explained how to find the database and the books on the shelves. she looks the same as I see my first client.

"You're a natural!" she tells me. I smile at her. Not a new smile, but a real smile. I'm happy to be with her again - she really makes me feel normal. As if things were going really well.
