I hope that you all enjoy my story :)
My name is Erisabeth. I work as a librarian at the Gotham City Public Library. I've been working there for five years now and I love my job. Of course every now and then some thugs break in or the lunatics from Arkham try to blow up the library but otherwise it's a wonderful job. My life was about to become more strange and difficult, however. I will never forget the four children who turned my life upside down nor the ignorance of the others involved.
In a cafe, in downtown Gotham…...
"Erisabeth!", a voiced screeched beside me. Startled, my head shot up from the book that I was reading and as I looked up at my...friend.
"Gahhh! Alice! I told you not to sneak up on me like that!", I shouted in frustration.
"Oh golly, I'm so sorry Eris! I was just so excited!", she said (more like squeaked).
"What is it now?", I replied with clear annoyance.
"Well you know how I was looking for a job? Well I have one now!", she was practically bat-level screeching at me.
"Oh wow. What is this amazing new job?", I said while pretending to be interested.
"I'm the new librarian at the Gotham City Library!", she said.
"Wait, what?!"
After what seemed like hours, I convinced Alice that I needed to be somewhere else where she was not present. I set on my way home in one of the nicer neighborhoods in Gotham. When, I finally reached home, I sat in my favorite sofa, turned my favorite show on, and awaited the dreaded phone-call from my superior. Of course she decided to ring when my show had reached an incredibly sad moment so that just made things worse. She calmly explained that I "wasn't needed at there anymore" and that "they needed fresh faces for the public". I was now out of a job.
I checked every website, newspaper article, and poster that I could find for anything that I could do, but I kept hitting blanks.
"There's has to be something", I said to myself while shuffling through a stack of papers.
Suddenly, my phone rang. It was my friend Becky. She teaches psychology at Gotham City High School.
"Hey, Erisabeth. I knew that you have been out of a job lately because of the whole Alice misunderstanding, so I thought that I would let you know that GCHS is looking for a new librarian for the school library if you're interested", she said.
"What happened to the old librarian?", I asked.
"Well there's been some talk about her…...um…. having a nervous breakdown. Don't worry about it though hehe it was probably just age", she responded.
"Okay then….I guess I could give it a shot"
"Great! I'll be sure put in a good word for you", she said nervously.
I sent in an application to the school, hoping and praying that they would except me. I was slightly skeptical about applying because of Becky's response but in the end, I needed the money.
The next day, I received a call from the school that I had made the cut and that I was to be there on Monday (today was Saturday). I was sent a list of materials needed and my duties. "Okay. I have a day and a half to prepare what I need and learn about the children that I will be counselling during the last period of the day….wait what? Counselling?" I looked at the list again to make sure that I was correct. Yep that definitely says counselling. Becky, what did you get me into? "This is going to be a very interesting year"
