Summary: Dan is a new student and doesn't have a place to eat lunch, so he decides to sneak food into the library. Rules don't apply to you when you're hungry, alone and desperate.

The door creaked open as Dan slowly turned the doorknob. Shelves and shelves of books lined the silent hall, with occasional murmuring and soft laughter amongst group of friends. Dan shouldered his book bag and shuffled to the back of the library, between two shelves. He grabbed a random book and inspected the cover. Pride and Prejudice. Must be the English literature aisle, he thought.

To be honest, Dan felt real guilty doing this. He, normally, isn't one to break rules, but desperate situations call for desperate measures. He stuck his head out to check if anyone was nearby, then reached into his bag for a packet of crisps and Haribo gummies.

When he took a bite of a crisp, a book fell from the shelf on his right and onto his head. Dan yelped and rubbed his head. He looked up. Luckily it didn't fall from a very high part of the shelf. He picked up the book and began to put it back but a few more fell out.

"What the-?" Dan looked at the place where all the books had fallen from and was met with a boy grinning back at him. The face disappeared as the boy made his way to the shelf Dan was hiding in.

"What are you doing?"

"I should be asking the same thing, sweet cheeks," the blue-eyed boy winked at him. Dan felt his face heat up. "Don't you know that eating and drinking in the library is prohibited?" Dan looked down at his gummy bears in slight shame.

"Yeah, but I didn't have anywhere to eat my lunch. I'm new. Are you... are you going to tell the librarian?"

"Normally, I would, but not in this case. You're lucky you're cute... and I'm starving," he said, sitting down and crossing his legs beside Dan. "I'm Phil, by the way. What's your name?"

"Daniel. But you can call me Dan." Phil nodded, reaching for a gummy bear.

"You free after school?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"I'll give you a tour if you'd like. We can also get coffee afterwards."

"Sure." Dan's heart fluttered. He made a friend! He made a mental note to reward himself a chocolate bar when he got home.

"Also, isn't dropping books on unsuspecting students against the library rules, too?"

"Just don't tell the librarian."
