***For those complaining about the vending machine, I changed that, and as
far as the lights go for reading, the place is not fully dark, and that
will be explained in this chapter. On other notes, I saw the movie today!!!
As soon as I got out of school, right at 1:10, I saw it!!! I won't give
anything away, though. Please review!***
***Other note, let me just tell you how oblivious to things I am with the things around me. Okay, so I was in school, (I am a sophomore in high school) and there is a huge outdoor concert going on this weekend, and this girl was talking about how she is going to be so drunk this weekend and told some story about one time when she was smoking, and so me, as promised, being the oblivious one, asked her if she still smoked, and she said she did. She then went on to say how this weekend, her boyfriend and all of her friends are going to reek of pot, so I asked her if she smoked pot, and she said she did. In response to that, I said, "cool," and then realized what I said, and then said, "wait, I mean. . .not cool." Now, people, for the record, smoking anything is not cool and neither is not drinking responsibly, especially underage, and this person already has a bad liver, for the record. I have never smoked or drank in my life. Anyway the point of telling you this is to just say how oblivious I am and that is my stupid thing of the week to say. Sorry, back on topic***
Chapter Five
Exploring the Library
Gordo looked from his book to her. He looked at her in disbelief.
"What?" Lizzie asked, trying to sound innocent.
"Did you just ask my if I have a girlfriend?" Gordo asked.
"Yeah. Why?"
"No reason. To answer your question, however, no, I do not have a girlfriend. I have never had a girlfriend, either, well excluding Brook," Gordo said, not realizing he said the last part out loud.
"Really? You are seventeen years old and you have never had a real girlfriend?"
"Nope," Gordo said, while looking at his book.
"Hmm. That's interesting," Lizzie said, and again fell silent.
After a few minutes of silence, Gordo looked up at her. "What about you?"
"What about me?" Lizzie asked.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No, not technically. I mean I have my friend Lee, but he is only a friend.
"Hmm. Well, do you want to be more than just friends with Lee?" Gordo asked, now sort of interested.
"No, not really. I mean Lee is a nice guy and everything, but he is so. . . so. . .not someone I could see spending the rest of my life with," she explained.
"Oh," Gordo said. He didn't want to talk about this kind of thing any longer, mainly because he didn't really know Lizzie that well, and he didn't want her to think that he had a crush on her or anything.
"Yeah, well life goes on," Lizzie said, and just then, the thunder clapped even louder. "Geese, its getting loud out there and its getting really dark. I almost can't see you. . . not that that's a bad thing," Lizzie said.
Gordo looked down and looked somewhat hurt by this comment.
"Oh, I was only joking," Lizzie said.
"Oh," Gordo said, now feeling stupid.
"Does this library have any emergency lights or flashlights or anything?" Lizzie asked.
"Um, yeah, I am sure there has to be some sort of emergency lights, this being a public building. I just don't know where the switch would be."
"Well, let's look. Where would an emergency light switch be?"
Gordo and Lizzie got up, but before they went very far, Lizzie went into her bag and got out a key chain flashlight. Gordo looked at her funny. "What?" Lizzie asked, turning it on.
"Nothing, I just don't know how much help that is going to give us."
"You never know," Lizzie said. "Let's go," she said as she walked away from the bean chairs, and Gordo followed. They headed toward the hallway that had the restrooms and maintenance closet, which they decided to try first to look for the switch. The door was naturally looked, and just as Gordo started to turn around, Lizzie said, "Wait!" and got out something from her bag-a hair pin, and stuck it in the lock of the door, and sure enough, the door opened.
The closet was full of mops and brooms and cleaning agents, as well as a few other things, but there didn't seem to be any special switches on the wall. They left that room disappointedly, and headed upstairs. Gordo knew that there were offices up there, and thought maybe one of them might have the emergency light switch. They opened the first door with the help of the hairpin, and in the office, there was a desk, a chair, and cabinets.
Lizzie went and sat on the chair while searching for the switch while Gordo searched through the cabinets. Lizzie opened the first drawer, and there was paper and pens, and the second drawer was cluttered with all sorts of stuff. Lizzie laughed when she saw two unused condoms within the clutter. "Somebody in the library is loving their job," Lizzie said, as she showed Gordo the condoms.
Gordo laughed lightly and continued searching through the cabinets. The cabinets had a lot of papers about books and records of books, but no switch. She finally looked at the bottom drawer of the desk, which had a very few amount of items, including keys, and something that looked like a garage door opener, only after taking a closer look at the thing, it appeared to be a remote of some kind. Lizzie pressed one of the buttons, and sure enough, as if by some miracle, a small amount of light appeared from the outside of the office. The library was no longer completely dark.it was just dim.
