“same. but i read it when i was seventeen - but yeah, i felt the same way reading it too.” he always found it a bit weird saying that a book, and a very dense one at that had changed his perspective on love. “you know. we never see each other out of the library or in clubs or anything.” following her as she checked out the book, he stuffed one of his hands before continuing with his point. “we should go out sometime, get coffee or something. well i don’t actually drink coffee, i’ll drink tea - but yeah, we should go out sometime - soon.”

using one of the automatic check-out machines and scanning her books, hazel nodded appreciatively. seventeen was probably a much more appropriate age to be reading such novels, but she’d always been such a voracious reader, if a book graced her household, it was read. “that’s generally because we’re both so busy with different things. our paths don’t cross,” hazel pointed out logically, missing the point he was making for a moment as she slipped the books into her bag. pausing for a second to actually listen to alfie, her eyebrows raised. “go out? just the two of us?” she clarified, subtly checking her peripheral to see if anyone was around. “i mean, i don’t drink coffee either. just green tea, mint tea, raspberry tea, rooibos tea... just tea.”

“because you have exceptional taste.” alfie had never met someone (who he actually enjoyed the company of) that went from reading russian formalist literature to feminist nineteenth century literature for a break. “you know my favourite book - well, my joint favourite book with one hundred years of solitude is anna karenina.”

trying not to be too flattered by the boy’s compliment, hazel began to walk and just assumed that alfie would follow. she had to check the book out after all. “it is?” she responded, surprised by the book choice. “it’s by far his best book, and it’s definitely up there for me. it’s impossible for me to choose favourites, but... there’s something indescribable about it. changed my entire view on love,” hazel added as a note. “definitely changed me as a fourteen year old.”

“of course,” avery stood on her toes and grabbed the book with relative ease, handing it over to the other girl. expecting to just help with a book and be on her way, avery was once again caught off guard when hazel inquired about her. “oh…thank you, i really enjoy it so far. i’m avery, by the way.”

relieved that some of the people hazel was encountering were nice, she sighed happily as the book entered her hands. “avery, that was it!” she exclaimed, pleased that she remembered somewhat. “i’m super busy always, but if you need anyone for anything, you can totally grab me. my number’s on the phone tree we have set up.”

“i mean same here pal, i just wear it well these days.” if there was anyone who understood what it was like to do the absolute most at college it was hazel, there was a person whose college credits and extra curricular activities matched or even surpassed alfie’s it’d be hers. “i’d argue that it’s not his best book but it’s definitely my favourite of his. it is an incredible social commentary of the period but yeah, i don’t really have much to say about 19th century english literature it’s never really been my area of interest.”

“it’s definitely not. why do you think i’m checking out this book and not that?” hazel retorted. she always had an answer for everything and this was no exception. “not totally my favourite area either, but it’s still something i enjoy reading from time to time. a break from tolstoy and chekhov, at least when it gets a little heavy and stuff.”

Ezra watched the girl struggle, trying his hardest to slip by and avoid speaking to anyone. He didn’t want anyone to see him, not because he was doing anything wrong. It was just in his nature. Being bothered was something he hated. When the girl called out in his direction, he stopped, looking at her, pink hair and all. Their eyes met and he let out an obnoxious sigh. “You ever think of investing in a step stool?” He inquired, stepping over to the shelf.

blinking, hazel listened to his comment before her eyes narrowed. “you ever thought about just being helpful about things instead of making snide comments?” she asked, trying not to be intimidated by the male’s height.

“i get it hazel. you spend a lot of time here, you’d notice things like that i guess.” alfie smiled when he saw the girl’s embarrassment. it was cute. if he had the time to spend more of it in the library he would. “what kind of debate does a person get in about tess of the d’urbervilles - especially a heated one. now i’m curious.”

“i’d spend more time here if i only could. basically, i’m run absolutely ragged right now, but yes, i’m well aware it’s only my own fault,” hazel spoke, answering the frequently asked questions or comments before he could add anything. “about whether it was his best book and even the context of it, the other person was clearly reading another book and i’m still confused honestly. it was an incredible social commentary of the period, but whatever,” hazel rolled her eyes, thinking of the debate mentioned.

“you were asking for help loudly.” he pinched the bridge of his nose. too much too soon. “at the moment it doesn’t. so shhhh.” for a minute he thought about grabbing the book and just putting it on a higher shelf. instead he got it and handed it to her. dorian wasn’t the type to let his family suffer. “you never said anything about it that i care to acknowledge.”

at least she managed to get the book in the end and that was her ultimate goal, dorian being grumpy was just an unfortunate side effect. “you know, i don’t appreciate the attitude from you,” hazel noted with a knowing look. “i’ve got three assignments due and a hell of a lot on my plate elsewhere too. what is up? late night again?”

seeing the young woman attempt to climb the bookshelves left avery a bit shellshocked. in all the time she had spent in the library, she had never seen anyone so determined to reach a book–including herself. so, when the other woman called out–seemingly to her–for help, avery was caught quite off guard. “oh, of course! which one did you need?”

“it’s not totally a case of ‘need’, but i’d really like it if you could grab me ‘far from the madding crowd’ i’d be eternally grateful,” hazel pointed toward the book, smiling as she recognised the face. “you’re the new addition to science squad, right? i’m hazel, i’ve been involved since my freshman year too, i’m glad you joined.”

CECILIA shrugs. she hadn’t known his name, or cared to. “now which book were you trying to reach, dear?” she asks, arms folded loosely across her chest. “i think he plays basketball.” she wanders aloud, the male confirming that he in fact did as he hands the pink-haired girl the book. “see.” her smile beams, “your services were appreciated.” she says as she ushers him away, her hand lightly brushing his arm. – - “so, what book did you almost climb mount everest for anyway?”

“uh, the greenish-grey one with the faint title,” hazel responded shyly, pointing her answer towards cece to avoid looking at the guy. she wasn’t nervous generally, but he was a giant of a man and she felt more than a little intimidated. pinching the book out of his hands and hugging it to her chest, hazel nodded a ‘thanks’ and averted her gaze until cece had moved him away. she noted the subtle flirting on the blonde’s half and narrowed her eyes slightly, she supposed that was one way to get results. “this amazing book by thomas hardy. ‘far from the madding crowd’,” hazel explained before rather reluctantly feeling forced to make conversation, “you read it?”

BESIDES a rather divisive eye roll as she passed by, cecilia paid no mind to the girl climbing the bookshelf. “sure– here’s a word of advice. don’t do it, unless you’re hurting for a hospital bill. ” vision lowers as nimble fingers text away, a slow frown taking form once she realizes how rude she’d been. “sorry, i’ve had–” cecilia stops herself, the stranger unworthy of hearing any such detail of the girl’s personal life. “one second,” she holds her finger out before disappearing and returning with a taller male more than willing to help.

wrinkling her nose at the bad attitude of the blonde, hazel was in a mind to say something back until she noticed the other’s expression soften. she didn’t tend to keep quiet when people were rude regardless of their standing in the social hierarchy, but her belief in the disbanding of it was what had landed her in the sjws to begin with. “it’s whatever,” she waved her hand, waiting as cece disappeared. “oh, uh,” hazel paused, noting the tall male before whispering rather obviously to cece, “who the hell is this?”

dorian was in the library just to get a bit of silence. everything was so fucking annoying today. maybe it was just him being on edge after last night. that’s when he saw his annoyingly short cousin struggling to get a book. “i should let you suffer just because you’re being loud in a library.” he stated as he walked up to her. “what book do you need, shortie.”

“being loud and asking for help are two completely different things. surely the need for aid outweighs the cost of a decibel or two,” hazel argued back, noting the sort of sickly look on dorian’s face. he’d definitely been out way too late the night before, she’d seen this more than once. “what have i said about ‘shortie’? and if you could grab me far from the madding crowd, i’d adore it.”

“i like how you keep tabs of the books the library is ordering.” he also thought it was funny how angry she got over the fact that the library had ordered more collections. alfie didn’t exactly know about her, but he did like reading books that weren’t tattered and falling apart. “ah, such a good book. i always knew i could trust you hazel.” reaching up and getting the book with ease, he handed it over to hazel and leaned against the bookcase. “how come you’re rereading it?”

hazel’s cheek flushed for a second out of embarrassment. “i don’t keep ‘tabs’ it’s just not hard to notice when things have been replaced or changed around here,” she defended herself to make it sound a little less like the library was her home, even though it was, in fact, a makeshift second one at times. taking the book with a mumbled ‘thank you’, hazel held it to her chest with a smile. “at least someone around here does,” she joked, “it was one of my favourites from high school. the other day i ended up in a very heated debate with someone about tess of the d’urbervilles and somehow ended up explaining this book and was hit with a sense of nostalgia. it won’t take long, i know it back to front.”

“i was wondering when you were going to ask for help. i was actually kind of worried that the books were going to fall off and crush you.” he recognised hazel from a few of the many clubs he was in, it turned out that the girl ran herself down just as much as alfie did, if not more. walking over to her and looking at the case, he scanned the nearby titles before looking down at her again. “what do you want me to grab?”

raising her eyebrows, hazel folded her arms across her chest as she took a step back from the bookcase. “they would never crush me. especially since half the books here are paperback now since they felt the need to kill more trees by reordering half the collections,” she broke into a ramble, descending into a mumble by the end before being brought back into the room by his question. “uh, ‘far from the madding crowd’? this version annoyingly has a better typeface than my own and i wanted to reread it.”

reaching up for a book, hazel sighed as she realised it would be impossible. there was no way she was getting the already-pissed-off library assistant to come over again and help her, but the thought of giving up was not her cup of tea. “here goes,” she murmured to herself, beginning to climb the bookcase before her eyes spotted someone taller nearby. “hey! think you could help me out?” hazel called, hoping to catch their attention.
