Marina was walking towards the library checkout when she collided with something. More like someone. Marina bent down to pick up her book that she dropped.
It was like in the movies. Their hands touched, and they both looked up into each other's eyes at the same time. Marina noticed his eyes were the most wonderful shade of green.
They both stood up with their eyes still locked. Marina extended her hand and said, "I'm Marina."
The man shook Marina's hand and said, "I'm Naveen."
Marina looked down at Naveen's other hand and noticed he had the movie Catching Fire. Marina pointed to the movie and said, "I'm reading that book." She moved her arm to show him the red cover.
Naveen nodded and said, "I've never really read any of The Hunger Games books." Marina had to stop herself from gasping. How had this man not read these fantastic books? This was Marina's second time through the series, and she loved it still.
Marina asked him, "Why not?"
Naveen shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't read unless it's necessary."
Marina says, "Reading is a great escape, though. It is way better than any movie."
Naveen asks, "Would you say that the book is better than this movie?"
"Well...um, I kind of haven't seen the movie yet."
Now Naveen has to stop himself from gasping. He asks, "If you liked the book so much, why haven't you seen the movie? Have you seen the first one?"
Marina shakes her head and says, "I don't like how movies usually are way different from the book, and if the movie isn't based on a book, then it's totally cliche."
Naveen says, "Movies are better than books and that's that."
Marina shakes her head and says, "Books are way more captivating than movies."
Naveen asks, "Would you like to continue this argument over a cup of coffee?"
Marina nods and says, "I would."
