Chapter 1- The Library
"Crystal, would you hurry up!" Sakura shouted from the hallway.
"I'm sorry!" Crystal yelled back, bursting out of her room. She was holding her purse and a shoe in one hand and trying to force a shoe onto her foot with the other hand. Her sweatshirt rested neatly in the crook of her arm. Crystal finally got the shoe on and ran downstairs after the impatient Sakura. Sakura, Crystal's cousin, was being nice today and driving Crystal to the library before she went to work.
"You know, for someone that supposedly doesn't care how she looks, you sure do take a long time in the bathroom," Sakura stated as she started the car.
"Not true! I was only doing my hair. I don't care about anything else." And that certainly was true. Crystal had on a plain pair of jeans and a messy pink tank top, as well as a pair of Converses with mismatching shoelaces. Her sweatshirt was a plain black hooded sweatshirt except for the small Independent symbol on one of the over-large sleeves. Crystal yawned as she brushed out her long brown hair.
"High school sucks," commented Crystal. "I'm only fifteen, and I get loads of homework. Thank god for study hall."
"Hey, you should try being in Honor's English," Sakura bit back. "Well, here's the library. Have fun, and I'll be back in four or five hours. See ya' then."
"Thanks!" Crystal stepped out of the car, her 'natural grace' almost causing her to trip over the curb. She laughed, and waved to Sakura as she drove off. Turning, she headed through the doors of the library, which was practically her second home.
Crystal browsed the Fantasy section first, picking out a few choice books. She then browsed the Teen section, adding at least ten pounds to her already backbreaking load.
"Hey, look," she exclaimed to no one in particular, "they have the fifth Harry Potter book!" Crystal quickly grabbed it from the shelf and added it to her heavy stack of books. Thinking that that was enough for the moment, she walked to the study section and found a nice comfy chair and table.
Crystal immediately snatched the Harry Potter book from the top of the stack and began to read excitedly. This was not the first time she had read the book, but it was one of her favorites so she was excited to read it over again. About an hour later, though, she began to feel differently. School had been giving her stress the past couple of weeks, and she hadn't been sleeping well. Now sleep began to make her eyelids droop.
'No!' she thought to herself, 'I must keep reading. Chapter Ten, Luna Lovegood.' Her eyes began to droop again as she continued reading.
' 'Fred and George had bewitched their trunks.to.fly.' No! I must stay awake.. 'Fred and George.' ' Crystal's head dropped to the table as she fell fast asleep.
