The only exception

chapter 3

Then my sophomore year she moved away and I was sad but not that sad which confused me. She let me down in so many ways she left me when she got a boyfriend or new friends. She only came back when she needed me cause she knew I'd always be there for her. I was pathetic to think she cared for me or loved me. I was too good for her I was always there for her but she wasn't for me. I didn't realize that until she moved how much she didn't care.

I had other friends I guess you could call them friends more like business partners or acquaintances. My friend Evelyn who also was my drug dealer I'd get weed and pills from her. She is really nice though and always asked me if I was okay.

She'd still sell me the drugs though so did she really care that I was looking for a way out. She just wanted money like anyone else would though it's human nature. We hung out a few times but mainly to get high nothing special I think one time we got food together but we still ended up getting high. We did shrooms one day in the woods. Crazy experience.

Thinking about her made me think how much I missed getting high. Escaping yourself and being someone else even if it's for a little bit is a feeling I wish everyone could feel. It's so invigorating and euphoric. It makes me forget life make me forget all the shit. It's addicting that feeling.

The bell rings throwing me out of my thoughts.

The library is on the first level so I make my way to the staircase. The corners of my mouth spread into a smile. I love reading I looks books I love this. I speed walk to the library I haven't seen it yet. It's on the first level did I mention theres 5 levels.

The 5th level is the rooftop so I'm not sure if it counts. It's for the greenhouse and plants all that stuff there's some class you can take for that I'm not sure what it's called. First level is the offices and food accommodations and some lockers. Level 2,3 and 4 are where most of the main classes are. Our school is all inside because of the snow except for the 3 gyms that are separate from the main building. There's a bridge connecting the main building to the Pe buildings.

There's 3 gyms 2 for regular Pe one for sports Pe like basketball or volleyball. We have 2 pools, tennis courts, football field, baseball field and we even have a archery unit. Then there's a whole two story building for the dorms which I want too check out.

I cant live with my mom anymore I don't give a shit.

I make it to the library and I think I gasp. My eyes grow and my mouth opens. I don't think I've ever seen something as amazing as this.

There's two levels but it's not closed off it's open. You can see the top level there's no floor that cuts it off. It's so beautiful the detailing on the shelves the chandelier hanging in the middle

There's so many books books after books after books. It reminds me of something out of beauty and the beast. The wood detailing on the shelves and the luxurious couches with gold handles.

There's artwork on the walls and the ceiling is open letting all the natural light cover the room. When I look up clouds fill my eyesight. The skylight is so beautiful during the day but I cant wait to see it at night. I walk up to the librarian I remember her when I came here to apply for the job a couple months before I got admitted. I met her at her office the only difference is. She's older grey hair covering her head. She has her hair in a clip and a few strands of fringe falling on your forehead. She greets me with a welcoming smile displaying her perfect teeth.

"Hello darling you here for the book keeping job.I think I remember you coming in a few months back." she looks at a paper I'm assuming is a schedule. I nod about to respond back when she starts talking again. "You know your a lifesaver no one applied this year so we're short of hands who wouldn't wanna work in here ami right?" I smile nodding my head in agreement. She cleans off a few books on the desk and sets them on the inside of her arm. She scoots out of her wheely chair.
