Heart-Shaped Bookmark

She opened the wooden doors and heaved a long sniff. A smell of hard covers and new books was in her senses. The library, this was something Maka was looking forward to for college. She never knew that the library could be three times larger than the library of her previous school. And at the same time, so quiet.

She staggered over to the librarian, who gave her a small gaze and turned back from what she's stamping. "Uhm, good e-evening Ms. Marie. I came here to borrow a book and... Where is the romance section located?" Marie pointed her finger towards the far-end while Maka's eyes gleamed with joy. She said a small thank you before running over towards the section.

"Wow... I can borrow a whole shelf if I could" Her amusement was far beyond her level. There were romantic-comedy, romantic-angst, romantic-horror. How she loved choosing and reading the spine of the books. Her eyes settled towards a book entitled 'Message for her'. Reading the plot, she felt excitement that she hurriedly sat on the table, in the corner.

In spite of the quiet room, she felt something missing. "Oh, I remember!" She pulled a small heart-shaped bookmark with a red string attached. It was a gift from her mother when she went to Mexico. Focusing on the book, her ears perked on something. A sound of rock but it wasn't loud but loud enough for her to hear. Trying to regain her focus, it was impossible. The sound grew louder and this time she shuts her book closed and scanned the library with her jade-green eyes.

Then and there, she spotted a guy walking to and fro with a black headphones over his neck. Hands tapping on every wooden material he could sight-see of. This annoyed Maka, but being a good moral student she decided to be friendly. She annoyingly sighed and walked behind his grey hood. She gave a light tap and finally the bush of silver white turned around. Crimson red observing her from her feet up to her face. He wondered why her teeth sank upon her lips.

"Can you keep the noise down? People are trying to read" He looked behind her shoulder. Observing and with a smug of a funny look, did Maka noticed that she felt that she's acting crazy. Maybe she is or not.

"I don't see other people reading"

"Maybe not other people, alright? I AM reading. Can you just keep it down for a while?" Her voice sounded annoyed and with that his lips perked together and wasn't condemned with her demanding attitude.

"Wouldn't it hurt for you to say please?" He shoved his hands in his pockets with a look of something opposite of anticipation.

"Just come on-"

"I am not hearing any please" He arched his head closer with a slight wonder in his eyes.

"Just... Will you just-"

"I'm waiting"

"Alright... Alright, Will you PLEASE keep the noise down because your fellow schoolmate is trying to read?" Emphasizing the word 'please' more with so much sarcasm, he wasn't satisfied. He crossed his arms and turned the volume louder.

"What? I said 'please' this time?" Her cheeks were flustered and anger was overtaking her mind. This was the reason, she doesn't have boyfriends from what her friends told her, they had a lot. Hers wasn't really that 'loads'. Compared to her, boyfriends is not in her focus. It was keeping her away from her studies. That's why dealing with boys was always being violent. From her petite body no one could exactly tell how she could knock down a boy with a single blow.

"Not from how I wanted it to be" His attitude sickens the guts of Maka. She rolled her eyes and turned around with a huff. While on the other hand, the guy smirked of what seemed to caught his attention. Her legs. It is not something to brag about but they were something of an asset to her. Then, Maka passed the guy with a small push and a 'colorful' curse. He chuckled of what seemed of her anger. This was something new to him. He finds her amusing of her anger. Then he turned around towards her table.

He saw a book with a red bookmark. He knitted his eye brows and saw a small bookmark. "Hmmm"

Maka staggered away from the library and decided to walk home instead. Thinking of the possibilities, if it wasn't for him. She could have brought a book with her in her usual everyday routine. She cursed once again, free from silence this time. That people passing her, avoided to slump her side or shoulder. She was gravely glaring at everyone.

But before she knows it, someone had tackled her on the ground. "Ouch" She muttered while getting her things all over the floor. She looked up and saw a boy she thinks her age with golden gleaming eyes and pitch black hair helps her with the things all over the floor.

"I'm so sorry that I tripped over you-"

"More than tackled" She rolled her eyes and the other guy just nervously chuckled for some odd reason. Something tells her that, the boy actually tackled her and was not an accident.

"Again, I am so sorry-"

"Okay okay... I need to go and thanks for helping" She snatched the papers on his hands and stormed off away from him. Cursing again, this wasn't helping her. It made her more vulnerable to people passing her. As if she was cursing on each of them.
