I turned around to see Mrs. Ernice standing with an expression that resembles mad. "Camile,this is a library not a concert or a dance floor. Pick up the things that you've thrown away on the floor." She said sternly,then walked away to a near book shelves to dust off.

"I- ...I just thought you couldn't hear me so I-..ya know,dance around." I said as I picking up the things. I tried to lie but I couldn't. That's why I hesitated. Plus,she's a nice lady,I couldn't do that to her.

She scoffed. "I owned this place,I know where you hide. Knowing you,you'd probably wander off to somewhere silent so no one will notice that you did something bad." She said,still walking to check everything is in place. I walk behind her as we walked.

I stayed silent because that's true. Also,that's a good statement. I can use that in my essay work someday. But not today,today I'm having fun. If only she didn't interrupt.

"Just go somewhere else next time okay? Or do you wanna help?" She asks. I'm thinking of what could possibly happen of helping her.

I can either talk to her because I've been looking forward to get to know her ever since I discovered this library. Or I should just bailed and go somewhere else like she offered?

After debating on which side to take I chose to help her. It's like a good choice to do. If I chose to bail,it seem so obvious that I don't respect elders or adults because everytime a child got scold,they'd do it with the main subject(ya know what i mean).

Some people would just bail because they don't want to be involved more with the situation.

We walked back to the counter where her own little cozy place is. I saw a trolley with a bunch of scattered books that needs to be put back in their own place.

"Are we gonna put those back?" I asked,just to make sure that I was right.

And the result is,I was right after all. "Obviously." Bingo. "But I'll guide you though. Kids like you,I couldn't trust with a simple task. You'd mess up eventually."

"Oh,oops." I feel my cheeks hot,feeling embarrassed.

She gestured for me to push the trolley to each section. By looking at that big pile of books,it's gonna be hard for me to push. I looked at her and open my mouth. She raised up her hand as in to silence me. "I don't care what your excuse is,just push it. I'll take the lead."

I began to push,grunting everytime when it got stuck on the shelves. We stopped by at a shelf. This wrote 'Fantasy' with bold font with it.

Mrs. Ernice then gestured me to pick the books and place them in order. High then low. I love how the fact that with one gesture I already what she wants.

Let's just say we do the same thing until the cart is empty. Now it's way easier to push the damn cart,but the wheels are a problem. And now we're back at the counter.

"So,are we done?" I released a breath after all the pushing and pulling I've been doing. She looked at me as if she wants to say something.

"I was going to say there's more but now you look exhausted. You're off the hook this time. But don't do that again." She said,sternly or as if she's threatening me. Let me tell you,that threat works.

I think it's because we have a connection so that's why we match. She's a grandmother I never had and I'm her granddaughter she never had.

I exhaled. "Thank you so much. I'm so tried right now. Especially my arms." I panted,then I hugged her. Planting a kiss to her wrinkle cheek. She did the same.

Mrs. Ernice can be strict sometimes,that make sense because the library is like her 2nd home. She really took good care for it. I thought I was gonna talk to her but I guess that's for another time.

I patted my front pocket to check if my phone is still there. Luckily,it's there. I walked out to see it's getting darker.

"Shit. I'm so dead." I muttered. As I started to sprint myself to go back home. I don't think I could made it on time. I didn't realise I was out late! And my phone battery just died!!

I jog past an alleyway so that any perverts from that alley wouldn't know. It's sunset so things would be okay to run my way home.

Once it got dark. I would've started to walk. You don't wanna alarm those thugs at night.

Gotham is a place you do not wanna mess with. Especially at night. Sure there's Batman that could rescue you but a hero can't save everyone. And I'm scared that 'can't save everyone' is me as in one of them.

I stopped running as I panted,trykng to catch my breath for a second. I look around to see there's no one in this road I'm walking. Good.

I started walking this road as I saw I'm getting near to the house. I heard footsteps behind me but it was at least six feet away from me.

Should I trun around or not. Can I check who's behind me? Should I-

I was pulled back in an alleyway. With a hand covered my mouth to keep me from making any noises. My eyes widen as I know what's gonna happen to me in the next few seconds.
