Walking into the library on a Friday afternoon was not out of character for Camden. In fact, it was now one of his favorite times to go. Over the summer, the building received much less foot traffic in general, but no one wanted to look at books when they could be pregaming for the weekend. It allowed him the time to move slowly, look at every book on the shelf (twice), and leave with a handful of books he’s already read. Today was no exception, but along with the familiar four paranormal journals, he carried two chemistry textbooks. They were for his summer course, which he refused to buy more materials for, and he placed them down on the counter with a grin at the other guy. “Hey Adam,” he said happily, having made friendly conversation with him the many times he’d been here. They’d never been close, by any standards, but it was nice knowing exactly who you’d see when you went somewhere. He tilted the top textbook towards the brunette, raising his eyebrows. “So, question… Let’s say I wanted to check this out for the next two months… What are the odds that you could turn a blind eye on the whole renewal process thing?”
Adam both liked and disliked how traffic was at the library in summer. He liked that some days he wasn’t constantly putting books back on shelves that were left abandoned throughout the building. He liked knowing which residents of the island were true book lovers that still came through when the school year was over. Camden was one of them. Adam disliked how quiet it could get. Like, sure, libraries were quiet in general but sometimes it got eerily quiet. “Hello, Camden,” he responded rather dryly. He was as friendly as he had to be but didn’t do much to get to know his fellow book lovers. He didn’t mind talking to Camden though. At his question Adam rose an eyebrow. “Two months? I’m pretty sure you’ve read at least three of those books multiple times considering your check out history on your account.” He began scanning some of the books to check them out. “I guess I can do a system over ride just this once. But only because you’re tolerable and I know you’ll return them without a scratch.”
