I remember that day like it was yesterday. Katie and I walked into the library and she ran straight to the romantic novels, pulling me with her. I, as usual, just browsed around with her. It didn't take long for her to find one she liked. She found the nearest table and began to read. I headed over to the Manga shelves. I ran my fingers on the books as I scanned the titles, trying to find one I haven't read already. I turned and saw Katie concentrated on her book. I looked back at the shelves and sighed. I just wasn't finding a good book today. I quit looking and decided to go sit with Katie.

"Dude, this book is so good," she whispered.

"You barely started."

"I know, but they're already getting freaky," she giggled.

"Wow, you really like those book don't you?"

"Shut up, Monica!"

We didn't realize she had shouted that until we had everyone in the library staring at us, including the guy who sat behind the front desk. He smiled and I felt my face heat up. He was really cute and I couldn't look away. He smiled was just so breathtaking. I stood up and went back to the nearest shelves. I wasn't looking for anything, I had given up on that, I just wanted to hide.

After a few deep breaths and some fanning at my face, I decided to go back to the table. When I got there, Katie was no where to be seen.

"Katie?" I whispered, not wanted to draw anymore negative attention.

I looked passed all the shelves and looked to all the tables. I couldn't find her anywhere. I tried calling and texting, nothing worked. I had avoided the front desk, but eventually I felt like I had no other choice. I had to pass it when I wanted to leave anyways. I looked, but she wasn't there. I walked in that direction heading straight for the exit, trying not to make eye contact with the cute guy. I was so close to walking out that door when…

"Were you looking for any book in particular?"

His voice was so sweet and soft, but perfect.

"Um, yeah…I mean…no. I was looking for my friend Katie. You didn't see her did you? She's short, had long brown hair?"

"Oh yeah, you're Monica?"

His voice saying my name gave me goosebumps.

I nodded, yes.

"She told me to tell you that she will be back and not to leave."

"Did she say what time she was coming back?"

He shook his head.

Katie was my ride home.

"Thanks," I told him.

"Everyone is leaving. I'm gonna get ready to close up in a little bit. I have to wait for everyone to leave though. So you're welcome to wait here with me until your friend gets back."

"Sure. Thanks."

He nodded towards the chair that was behind the desk, next to him. I sat down and tapped my toe inside my shoe. I was getting inpatient and this guy wasn't only making me nervous. I thought about how I was going to murder Katie as soon as she got back. The guy left and walked around the library for a little bit. Probably just making sure the place was empty. He came back moments later.

"Everyone is gone. Your friend still isn't back yet?"

I shook my head.

"Well I can wait for you for a little bit longer if you want."

"No, no it's okay. I'll walk home. I don't live very far."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

I headed out the door and noticed that there was a storm happening. How did I not hear this when I was inside? I stood there for a little bit, thinking, again, about how I was going to kill Katie. I felt the door open behind me. It was the guy.

"Come on, I'll give you a ride home."

"Uhh…"

"It's okay. I'm a nerd who works at the library. I'm not going to hurt you."

I have to admit that made me giggle a little. He was a cute nerd.

"Okay, then."

I followed him to his car. We ran, which was pointless because we still got soaked. We drove slow, in this weather it was hard to see. I was still able to give him good directions though, but it seemed like it was taking forever to get to my house. I admit, I wasn't so nervous. I think it was the way he was so calm, even though it was scary out here.

"You said you lived close," he smiled.

"It's not that far."

"And you were going to walk in this?"

"I like the rain,' I shrugged.

When we finally got to my house, I couldn't wait to get inside. Then the curiosity hit me.

"You just started working at the library, didn't you?" I asked.

"Yeah, just a few weeks ago. I'm guessing you go often?"

"Yeah. A lot, actually. Just not this past month, I've been busy with other crap."

"Mm."

"Well, thanks for the ride."

"I guess I'll see you at the library."

"Yeah, I guess you will."

"See yah, Monica."

"See you, and thanks again…um…,"

"Logan, Logan Mitchell."

"Thank you, Logan Mitchell."
