She stood in the middle of the crowd, looking around. She was looking for a person. Suddenly, she saw a familiar face. He saw her too. Step by step, he walked towards her. They were only centimeters apart. They felt each other's breath inside the air-conditioned hall. Both looked into the other's eyes. She couldn't say anything. They hugged each other tightly. He promised that they'll never let go of each other, ever again. Tears flowed down her cheeks. For so long, she waited. Until this day, they finally met.

At the public library, the girl was sitting alone, reading the new book that was on the display shelf. A shadow passed by her. She looked up to see a boy, basketball in one hand and a "Biography of William Shakespeare" in the other. Stuttering a bit, he asked, "Hi, just wondering, are you borrowing that book?" Shyly, she answered,"This one? Yes. Are you...Do you want to borrow it?" He sat down beside her, shaking his head, saying that he just finished the book last week. "What do you think of it?" she asked him with a curious look. He smiled thinking how cute she was. "You liked it?" she asked again. He nodded. "Yo! We gotta go! Basketball in 5 minutes! Come on!" his friends shouted from outside of the library. "I gotta go. But, what's your name?" She said, "Amelia." He then introduced himself as Jeff before rushing out of the library to meet his buddies. "See you again!" he shouted from outside as the librarian showed an annoyed face. She secretly smiled and soon continue reading her book.
A few days later, Amelia was once again in the library but reading another book. "You borrowed it?" she heard a familiar voice. "Yup, and I'm halfway there. Jeff, rite?" He smiled brightly, happily said "one point goes to the lovely lady Amelia!" The librarian told him to keep quiet using a stern face. He saluted her, meaning to say he was sorry. He sat opposite of the girl, looked at what was on the table. There were a few pens, school textbooks, and a tattered looking paper. "What's that?" he asked Amelia.
"Secret." Jeff made an I-really-want-to-know face. "Please?" he asked. Amelia giggled at his actions and answered that it was her book list. Before Jeff could ask more questions, Amelia's mother parked in front of the library. Amelia packed up her bag, getting ready to leave.
"Amelia..."
She turned around.
"D...do you want to have coffee? I mean, if you're not too busy reading."
She nodded, replying,"This Friday, 4pm?
"Yea" he said while......
**I believe I will stop this for now. Can't continue it.**
