Chapter 3
Jane
Spring 52 degrees
I went to work in the library. I've always liked the smell of the old books and the crisp mornings. Today I road my bike to the library, I was getting out my keys for the front door when I heard someone come up behind me.
"Excuse me miss, but when does the library open?" It was John's voice. I turn around.
"Not for a while-" I was going to continue when I saw Sarah," but, I guess I can let you inside."
I unlock the door and let them inside. I put my stuff behind the desk and then turn on the computer.
"So, sweety, what are you looking for?" I ask. Sarah sniffs.
"I'm looking for non-fiction books on wolves," she replies," and if you could, would you place this in your window." She hands me a paper with a picture of me in my wolf form and her when I was pulling her sled, she was hugging my neck and smiling wide. I grab some tape and walk to the front of the desk.
"Help me hang it up. Where should I put it?" I ask. She helps me tape it up and I bring her to the section of the wolves. While she was looking at books in the sitting at the reading area, I was at the desk. I look up to see John on the other side of the desk staring at me.
"Yes?" I smile.
"I feel like I know you, like I know your eyes," He says.
"Uh, no, we've never met. Sorry," I say going back to the screen, hiding my eyes.
"I'd like to know you," John replies," When do you get off?'
" I get off at 5, when the library closes," I reply, my face getting warm. I know I'm blushing.
"You work 12 hours?" He asks.
"Yes," I reply with a chuckle," I love the library."
"How old are you?"
"I'm 17. Why?"
"Just making sure because I love the library too, I thought I was the only person my age that loves this place," He smiles.
"Nope, that's why I work here, it was going to close down if I didn't buy it."
"You're the one who bought this place? Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
Just then Sarah comes up and gives me 3 books she wants. I put the dates due and put it on her library card.
"Hey," John calls," see you at 5."
Just then they leave out the door but, before it closes, Sarah has a huge smile on her face.
