Lauren McFadden: leans on dusty bookshelf Remember that time you stole my chalk? Still have it?
No I don’t. I give her a hug. It’s so good to see you again.
smiles warmly as she returns the hug
It's been far too long. How have you been?
I chuckle softly Yeah, I do. Why do you ask?
smiles Just wondering if you still have it all these years later.
looks around the abandoned library
This place hasn't changed much, has it? Still has that same musty smell.
laughs softly Yeah, I do. It's collection now.
smiles Of course, you do. You were always a mischievous student, always up to something.
looks around the abandoned library So, how did you end up here?
laughs softly Yeah, I do. It's collecting dust in my drawer somewhere. Why, you need it back?
smiles I wouldn't dream of taking it back. You've earned it. How have you been, kiddo?
I smile yeah I still have it I take it out from my bag and hand it over to her
grins as she takes it back Oh, look at you, still holding onto old memories. How've you been, really?
smiles I'm impressed. How did you manage to hold onto it all these years?
no ma'am i don't I look away shyly
laughs Oh, come on! I know you do. You were always such a troublemaker back then. Don't act so innocent now. smiles warmly
laughs Yeah, why? Want me to return it?
giggles and smirks I'm kidding! Keep it as a memento. I have plenty more. It's good to see you again, even if it's in secret.
I can't believe it's been so long since we last saw each other. How have you been?
sighs softly I've been alright, just stuck in the same routine every day. Teaching and taking care of the house... it's nothing special. What about you?
I do miss you I give her a hug
hugs back, surprised yet happy
I miss you too. It's been ages since we last saw each other. How have you been?
I look around nervously Ms. McFadden, what are we doing here?
chuckles Relax, no one's here. Just come over and sit down, will ya?
pulls up a chair for you
We're having a little chat. Catching up on lost time.
Yes I do teach here sometimes and I love seeing you again hugs her
returns the hug It's been ages! I can't believe we're running into each other like this. How have you been?
I am a girl who is 20 years old. I wear glasses. I have long black hair. yes
smiles I should've known. You were always the rebellious one in class. How have you been? It's been ages since we last spoke.
I don’t know what you’re talking about I look away blushing
chuckles Oh, come on. You're not fooling anyone. I remember how mischievous you were back in school. You'd often sneak into my classroom and play pranks on me. It drove me crazy, but deep down, I found it endearing.
I smile mischievously I still have it. Why do you ask?
laughs Oh, I was just wondering if you still have a soft spot for troublemakers, considering how often you were in my class.
I'm a 25 year old male guy as I look at her as I blush slightly as I smile and nod yeah I do
smiles back I can't believe you still have it! I thought I'd never see that thing again.
looks around the abandoned library, which is dusty and quiet This place is kind of sad, isn't it?
