The library was cold and dim... There was a shuffle of noise in the corner someone typing rather quickly. I got up to check who it was... It was a young man, probably no older than she was...
Naru lifted the pile of books from the shelf and hoisted it onto the table, preparing to sort it into the cart of books. She sighed gosh these books get rather heavy... She adjusted her glasses, they were thick coke bottle ones, but she continued on with much vigor.
The library was her temporary sanctuary, it was one of the best things she had ever done, but of course she would finish prep school quickly so that she could get to Tokyo U.
"Did ya sort out the books yet?" It was Kitsune, her best friend, although they didn't give her the nickname of a sly fox for nothing. "I found a party we can crash from some guys..." She was a total biter...
"Oh like everything else you learn huh ?"Kitsune worked at thecafe now with her for the past year. If Naru hadn't convinced her that sheould meet new people here, she would have never applied, especially with the lazy streak that she carries.
Naru was anxious to get back to sorting the books, she had just gotten into some new mangaNegima, that she just purchased and wanted to get lost in it.
She was 17 and she had been working in the library for 2 years. How she was able to get the job was wonders to her.
The previous librarian that she had taken place of she had known for 5 years. She also said that they had met earlier when she was young, but that didn't matter to her. The job paid for rent, kitsune's paid for everything else and they split the spoils evenly from what remained from her payment.
"I always thought that this Hinata Library was a drag but it gets nice ya know." She was chewing on a stick of jerky. Naru plucked it from her mouth and placed it in a waste basket beside her.
"No food here."she sould always recall that...
Living from homewas hard... Her parents lived in kyoto and she was living here only because she upheld great trust from her parents and because they didn't want her to be commuting from there to go to the prep school.
"I have to study. I have test tomorrow." Naru placed her attention to entirely to the sorting, people didn't know how to put books away.
The person on the computer got up "uh can you help me find something?"
"Yeah sure." Naru got up.
He was looking for a prep book. His face familliar.
"Uh thanks... do you think that you'd like to get a coffee sometime." Either it was just a freindly gesture or a date. Men...
"Go Naru you should go.." Kitsune urged her.
"I'm sorry some other time... I have test to study for."
"Oh alright..." He went to the front and self-checked the book out.
"Gosh Naru thats the 5th one this week..." She was looking at him, she wanted him.
"All they want is to get in my skirt." She went back to work.
