Chapter 2

"Look its right here!" I exclaimed.

"Why am I not surprised" she asked sarcastically.

"Probably because this is just, like, the most perfect book series for me ever!"

"Yes," she said "but it's a banned book" She answered exasperated.

"So?" I asked "Isn't there some way to get it?" I asked hopefully.

"I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure we would have to go to a book store to get it, and even then it's not a definite win."

"Then let's go to a freaking bookstore! Please this will be, like, the first book I have ever read just because I could and you've already said you would help me, c'mon Quay... thrine." I said, almost slipping up on her name. Actually, I pretty much blew it.

"Did you just call me Quay?" She asked angrily.

"That's beside the point! The point is, you love books and need to teach me to love them too! Please there's a Bookman's just over on Maine, we could get over there in less than five minutes if we left right now. Please!" I said gave her my best puppy dog face. After a minuets hesitation she finally gave in and agreed to take me over to Bookman's, as long as I could buy the books myself. I readily agreed and with that we were on our way.

When we got to Bookman's I immediately went over to the books area and started looking for the books. I had written the name of them down on the back of my hand in sharpie so I would be able to find them faster or in case forget what it was called. "Twilight Saga, Twilight Saga" I mumbled as I searched for the book in the alphabetically organized store. AHA! There it was! "I got it!" I yelled over to Quaythrine

Quaythrine came over to where I was and looked at the only copy of the books in the store. "Annie these books are pretty beat up." She said slightly concerned.

"It's okay." I said. The books were all duct taped at the sides and had a lot of the pages with small tears at the corner, some were even ripped off. "It's okay it's not like any of the words are ripped off or colored on or anything. Besides they're only ten bucks for all four of them! And for once I actually have that much!" I said, now very intrigued by these mysterious books. "Come on, I'm gonna go pay for them." I said pulling her along with me to the check out area.

There weren't very many people there, most still looking around at some of the other things there, like video games and some musical instruments in glass casing. Nobody was in line in front of me so I disregarded the line structure and went straight to the guy at the cash register, Quaythrine at my heels.

"Hello." The guy at the counter said, obviously bored.

"Hi," I said awkwardly to the man whose name was apparently Jose. I put the books on the counter. Jose scanned the bar codes and looked over at me.

"That'll be $10.56." He said. I handed the guy the money that was needed, and waited for my receipt. "There you go." He said handing me the receipt. I smiled and took it and the books into my hand, my wallet back in my pocket already and thanked him before walking back outside to my sister's car.

Once we were back at our house I went to my room and started reading the first book, Twilight, and by the time I had finished the first chapter, I was hooked.
