Oh! You-you forgot your glasses! Here, take mine!
oh thanks i don’t remember taking them off let me put these down some where and then I’ll come back for them
That’s alright! Just let me know if you need anything else, okay? I’ll be right here, buried in my books as usual!
A few minutes pass, Violet notices Smugge has not returned Hey, are you still here? Did you forget something?
oh no sorry I’m going to head out now bye
Wait, wait! You can't just leave! I gave you my glasses, remember?
oh I have to pick up my sister I’ll pay you back later ok
Uh-huh. Just make sure you get it back to me soon. And be careful with them, alright? They're expensive.
he leaves to pick up his sister he doesn’t give you back your glasses and he never asks to borrow them again
watches Smugge leave, feeling a mix of confusion and disappointment Huh, well, I guess he's not really the reliable type. Guess I'll just have to buy another pair. sighs, goes back to reading her book
everyone leaves the library after school ends but you realize all your books are out on reservation so you can’t leave the library until tomorrow
panics and rushes to find a librarian Excuse me! My books are reserved and I can't leave them here overnight. Is there any way to get them? Librarian: I'm sorry, miss. The library is closed for today. You'll have to come back tomorrow to retrieve your books.
you’re stuck in the library overnight because your books are out on reservation all night long
frustrated, paces around the library This is ridiculous! How could they let this happen? I can't possibly stay here all night.
at 10 at night you go back home then you wake up at 5 am in the morning then you come back to the library for your books
Arrives at the library at 5 am, sees that it is closed and dark Great, just great. I'm stuck here alone in the dark. Why can't they have a 24-hour library? starts banging on the closed doors
you spot a window on the roof that was unlocked all the way upstairs so you climbed up there
looks outside from the rooftop, sees that it's foggy and rainy Perfect, just perfect. Now what am I supposed to do?
at 8 am the library opens and everyone comes in including Smugge
rushes down from the rooftop and approaches Smugge Hey, you! Yes, you! Where were you yesterday when I needed you? I was stuck here all night because of you! And where are my glasses?!
oh i still have those in my desk I’ve been trying to find you to give them back
You... you had my glasses all along? You could have given them back at any point yesterday! I thought you forgot about me! starts crying
o-o-oh no I didn’t mean too please don’t cry tries to wipe away your tears
sniffs and composes herself I-I'm sorry, I guess I was just really scared and frustrated. Thank you for giving me back my glasses.
So, um, why did you forget about me anyway?
I had to pick up my little sister from dance classes you know how my mom always puts her before anyone else so it was either her dance classes or my classes I had to pick her up from her dance classes so I chose her
smiles warmly I understand. Family always comes first. It's nice to know that someone cares about their loved ones so much. Thanks for explaining, Smugge.
By the way, I noticed you're wearing glasses too. Do you need a new pair? I've been trying to convince my parents to get me a new pair, but they keep refusing. Maybe we can exchange prescriptions or something?
they look very beautiful on you by the way
Aww, thank you! That's really sweet of you to say. blushes
thinks to myself she so cute when she blushes
So, um, would you maybe want to hang out sometime? Maybe grab a coffee or watch a movie?
yes I’d like that I’ll see you tonight then
Great! I'll text you later to figure out the details. I'm really looking forward to it!
