Books.... (Tori, closed)

[inFamousL]

Oz sat in the library. He was reading an old book called "The Fellowship of the Ring" from the series "Lord of the Rings", his favorite series in the world. He was at the part where Bilbo Baggins, of Bag End was leaving. But he wouldn't leave the One Ring there. He looked up as the librarian looked at him. He looked edgy, as if to try and see through him.

He finally got over it and put his book away. He went over to a shelf. He looked for a certain book. Ah, he thought as he picked out the book. "Transmutation Circle's" was the title. He was interested in Alchemy. Even though science was the big thing today. But Alchemy was very interesting. It was a good read.

He had tried Alchemy once before. It didn't EXACTLY work. He ended up coloring a penny gold. He almost thought it was gold. But then it was tested. It was funny, he had expected for it to work. But it didn't. He still is trying. He picks up Alchemy books everyday.

Derek:

I had been taking a shower when inspiration hit. I suddenly wanted to write another story, and I didn't want to do anything else. When I got out of the shower, I dried off and threw on my regular attire. My notepad and pen were ready and waiting by the door as I headed out. I put them in the backpack I grabbed coming out of my room.

The library was quiet when I entered, and almost empty. It normally was since most of the other kids seemed to enjoy throwing killing devices around. I had no particular interest in weapons or the training center. I went there often enough, but only because I knew I need to be ready if there was a chance I ever needed to defend myself. I went over to the technology sections to do a little research on capitol tehcnology. I knew it was mostly made in distict three, so I tried to find some books on that as well.

I found three possiblities I could use, I grabbed them of the shelves, and went to go find a desk to sit at and write in peace. I took a left and ran into someone, slipping my books everyone. "Oh, I'm so sorry." I muttered as I bent to retrieve my belongings. When I stood back up, a younger boy was looking at me. He was dressed rather oddly, and he was carrying a book. I'd never seen him in the library before. Maybe I had simply overlooked him.

A BOY bumped into Oz. He looked down as he picked the books he dropped and said "Oh, I'm sorry!".

"It's okay," he said. He raised a hand and smiled. His hand was covered by a white glove. He was looking at him now, checking him out. His red coat with black shirt and black leggings and black shoes must have given him off as a weirdo. As well as his long braid down his back. He never cut his hair. So he braided it don his back. Most boys wouldn't do so. But he was required to do so, or he wouldn't be able to see at all.

"My name's Oz! What's yours?" he smiled as he looked at him more and more. His stare was piercing. A if looking into his soul. He held out the book he was holding, "I'm studying Alchemy..."

Oz asked him if he wanted to join him. It was very interesting, and it was also fun to read about what people used to think. He smiled and scratched the back of his head. He was getting pretty embarrassed because she hadn't taken off her eyes off of him. He felt as if she were checking him out. But nobody, not even a girl, would actually check him out. He was pretty short. He hated it when people called him short.

The only time when Oz lost his cool was when people called him short. He would scream out at them! He hated it. He never liked it. It was horrible when people said 'pipsqueak' to him. He always over exaggerated. He sighed and got redder. He didn't deal with girls very well. And a girl right behind him was staring at Oz too. The boy would probably wonder why he was doing this reddening.

((I'm a little confused. You know my character is a boy right? Who the girl then? lol))

(ooc: I really don't know. I just put that in there for the heck of it. Say it's the librarian. And if it says she, then it's a typo or something!)

How could I have missed this kid? He was.. well short. I must have been so out of it the last couple of times I came to the library. Surely I would have reconized him from the clothes he was wearing. He asked my name."Derek." I said nodding my head. The boy continued,"I'm studying Alchemy..." Alchemy? I was confused now. It sounded familiar, but I just couldn't remember if I knew what it was.

"What's that?" I asked slowly. "You've never heard of it?" the kid was shocked. Edward seemed pleasantly amused by my confusion. "Oh.. um.. yeah, of course I have." I started to lie, pulling my hand through my hair. "I just thought...you know. Maybe you'd want to explain it so, you know." I smiled uneasily.

((Sorry it's so short, super busy.))
