Sorry for the delay! I haven't been able to use word lately.
Chapter 4
Sal's feet made a light tapping noise as she skipped to the library. Knowing she, L, B, and Watari were probably the only ones in the entire building, it wouldn't make much of a difference if she made a little noise in the library. L was sitting in the edge of a couch, reading a rather thick book.
"Hey Salina!" L called from above his book. He showed a bit enthusiasm, but he immediatly returned to his book. On the cover it simply said "The Canine Encyclopedia". Salina walked over to peak over L's shoulder. On the page he was currently on, Salina could only make out something about the black wolf being a melanistic color variation of the grey wolf before L turned the page.
"Hey L, how do you read so fast?" Sal asked.
"Well, I guess when you have to read a lot, you end up reading faster so that it takes less time." L explained, while still skimming through pages.
"Man, I still don't get how I got in here. I feel like an idiot when I talk to you and B." Sal sighed.
"You just need to figure out your strong point." L said, closing the book. Sal sat down next to L, and scooted until she was a few centimeters from him.
"I like drawing and singing." Sal huffed. "I don't think I'm good though."
Sal pulled out a wrinkled piece of paper from her pocket. She smoothed it out the best she could, and showed it to L. The drawing was of some sort of large cat.
"Well, to be honest, it looks like a cat merged with a wolf. Its face and tail look like a cat, and everything else is wolf. If that's what you meant to draw, than it's not bad at all. It seems pretty good to me." L said, looking at the picture with a bit more focus than Sal expected.
Sal took the drawing and shoved it back into her pocket, then giggled embarasedly.
"Hey L, when's your birthday?" Sal asked.
"Halloween." he said. "What about you?"
"The 10th of this month."
"Today is June 11th Sal." L said.
"Oh." Sal laughed. "I guess moving here and everything made me forget the date."
"Oh well." L said, returning to his book. After looking over L's shoulder for about 5 pages or so, Sal began looking through the shelves for something different to read. She found one of The Chronicles of Narnia books, and sat down to read it. She had the first three books, but never managed to finish the third. Sal figured she might as well try to finish the series.
"L, Sal!" B called.
"What's up B?" Sal asked. L was still reading his book.
"Wammy wants us to join him to go grocery shopping." B explained.
Sal stood up and nudged L. He nodded and stood up. His book was just about finished.
The three of them walked toward the door, and into a limo.
"Wow, this is such a big limo!" Sal said. "Not that I've been in a limo before."
"This is actually one of out few smaller limos." Watari said behind the driver's window.
Sal plunked down onto a window seat and gazed out the window for most of the trip.
