-Just a prologue-
Gilbert was just starting to fall asleep on his desk when he first saw her. She was wearing a bright pink sundress and a yellow ribbon while carrying a pile of thick books. She delicately placed another book on top of the seemingly-going-to-fall books on her hand. Gilbert narrowed his eyes and realized that she was standing in front of the R category – R for Romance.
When did she enter?
His golden eyes widened when she tripped her feet and almost fell with a loud thud. Almost.
It was when she graciously caught the books again after she balanced herself, standing on her tiptoes – one ridiculously landed on top of her head – that Gilbert sweat-dropped and blushed furiously as she caught him staring and smiled back to him.
He didn't realize a glint of shock in her red eyes.
She then walked over to him and placed the books with a slam on his desk – the smile was still there, on her face.
Peeking over the tower of books, she said, "Hello, there, young man." her light brown hair swung on her back.
And the said 'young man' could only blush again.
He then saw the titles. Romeo and Juliet, St. Valentine, Ever After and… Cinderella?
Gilbert looked up to her with a raised eyebrow, making her to lower her head a little with a slight blush.
"U-uh… w-what?" she stammered.
He sighed. She's like those typical romance-novels-addicted-teenagers on Oz's – his best friend and 'Master' – mangas. The different was; the person before him was no teenager. She looked like she's in her early twenties.
That cute face, short height and blushing, puffing cheeks were not enough to fool him.
The raven-head blinked when a piece of a thousand yen was already lying before him.
And the woman smiled. "The change?"
Gilbert gave her the change before she left – carrying the heavy plastic bag on her shoulder – and resumed his sleep.
The woman turned her head to see the golden-eyed boy who was resting his head on the front desk.
She walked over to him again and put a hand on his hair.
Smirking, she leaned closer to Gilbert's ear as she said,
"Don't forget the assignment, Gilbert-kun."

The actual story will start next chapter (and off course, will be more longer than this). Review and tell me if I should continue this small plot bunny ;)
