Ok I know it's unusual to dread his arrival but I can't help it. I don't think I can do this now. Maybe I'll fake sick or I could get mad (for no reason) and never talk to him again.
Snap out of it Alizabeth you can't do any of those things. It's ridiculous.
I was going to the library, which I haven't visited in weeks. I needed to finish up a school project.
I have to complete a slideshow about a topic chosen by the teacher. My topic was drug addiction/abuse. We had a week to turn it in, saved to a flash drive but I needed more time. I bought a flash drive, saved my incompleted work and went to the library.
Pushing the huge wooden door, my phone rang as loud as a screaming hungry toddler. I answered, not noticing the caller ID, was James.
"Hello, who's this?", he asked playfully.
"Very funny, James Kidds"
He gasped into the speaker, "Stalker"
I burst into laughter at the computer reservation desk.
"James I'm in a library stop making me laugh", I scolded him. Looking around to see a lady with salt and pepper hair pinned in a bun scowling at me.
"Don't you know what today is?", James asked calmly.
"Uh no"
"In no time, I will be holding you in my arms and feeling the softness of your lips on mine."
"What in the hell?"
"Oh Alizabeth, I was reading a cover of a book, you know you aren't the only one who goes to libraries"
"You better be", I felt my heart racing and my palms sweat.
"I have to go, my lady, until tonight!", he shouted into the phone
"Oh please be reading again", shaking my head.
I left the library, deciding I could careless about my grade in computer class. Once at home, I got up stairs to my room, missed dinner so I grabbed a cookie and went to sleep.
