"Alab.. Alab... Alab!" Someone shouted. "..huh... what time is it?" Asked Alab. "You fell asleep in the library." Kim-ly said. "Oh I did... OH I DID?! WHAT TIME IS IT? I HAVE SCHOOL!" Alab yelled. "Calm down. It's 6:00." Kim-ly said. "..oh. Well. I gotta hurry. See you guys later. Oh, and can I borrow a book or two?" Alab asked. "Sure, just make sure to return it later." Kim-ly said. Alab grabbed a book, ran home, packed a lunch, and dashed to school.
As they walked down the hall, Alab was reading the book. It was called 'Missing in a Blink' and was about these two friends named Aadiv and Mason. Alab was very invested in the book when they accidentally bumped into someone and they both fell down. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Alab said. "Hey, watch it! Wait...." the person looked at the book they had. "Is that..." Alab looked at the person, confused. The person searched something up on their phone. "I don't understand how you were able to get a copy of this..." they muttered. "Eh, I got it from a friend." Alab shrugged. "This author is dead and didn't finish it before they died!" The person gasped. "H-huh?" Alab asked. "Kim-ly [insert surname] died before she completed that far into the book!" The person eyed their bookmark. "As someone who has an incomplete copy, I kind of envy you. I love that book." The girl helped them up. "Sorry about snapping at you. The name is Indah." She said. "I'm Alab." Alab responded. "Once I'm done with it, do you want to borrow it?" They asked. "Really? Thanks!" Indah said. They walked to class, talking about it as they walked. At lunch they sat by each other and Indah suddenly said, "So is Kim-ly a ghost or something?" "Wha- no.. ghosts aren't real. What? Who said anything about ghosts?" Alab stuttered. "I'm a firm believer in ghosts, thank you very much." Indah said. "Oh... well I actually don't know." Alab lied. "Tell me!" Indah insisted. "I can tell you are lying! Please? I won't tell anyone. I have secrets nobody else knows! Please?!" "Fine fine.. calm down." Alab said. "I'll show you after school, alright?" "It's a deal!" Indah shouted. "What's a deal?" Someone snickered. "Oh god..." Alab said. "We made a bet on who will be added in season four of our favorite show." Indah lied on the spot, winking at Alab. "Oh really? Well, Alab, didn't think it was possible but you got a girlfriend that's as dorky as you." A familiar voice said. "Leave me alone. We are just friends." Alab said. "You know him?" Asked Indah. "Yes. He's the asshole who ruined my life." Alab said. "Well, that's not a nice way to introduce someone." Thiago said. "Just go away." Alab growled. "Whatcha gonna do?" Thiago picked up Missing in a Blink. "Put. That. Down." Alab gritted their teeth. "Come and get it." Thiago teased. Suddenly, a fork almost stabbed him in the eye. "What the hell-" "Put their book down now." Indah said. "Fine, since you asked so nicely." Grumbled Thiago. He walked away. "Thanks for getting it back." Alab said. "That's what friends are for." Indah smiled. School seemed to fly by quicker and eventually it was the end of the day and they walked to the library.
