Freezed midway

Unknown to Benjamin that the door has been locked outside...he explore the library, they were few books on the wooden book shelf they were also reading tables and chairs.....the hidden library gives another vibe entirely, he look around the library then he found her...

Cassandra sat there with her headphone on her ears, with a novel title ''After'' by Anna Todd on her hands, she seems lost in the novel that she does even notice that Benjamin has been watching her, Benjamin sat on a sit not too far from her, and watched her as she flip those pages and he watched as her facial expressions changes with each chapter she reads is like Benjamin could tell what's is going on through her mind in her facial expressions alone, she is beautiful...no matter how Benjamin try he can't seem to get his mind off her since the day he first meant her, he just wants to spend more time with her, Even it's just like this.....

Cassandra still in her own world, was brought back by her alarm, since her headphone is connected to her phone, it was easier for her alarm to bring her to reality, moving her gaze from the book, her eyes immediately meet Benjamin's he smiled at her, surprise was registered on her face, what on Earth is he doing here?..

"what are you doing here?..how do you get here?...you are not supposed to be here!".said Cassandra who still couldn't believe what she was seeing...

"what Cassandra, it's a library for crying out loud, can't I come to the library?..."said Benjamin still smiling.

"I Know we are in a library, how do you find this library?.....and why are you smiling at me?" asked Cassandra looking confused, why is that he is always smiling anytime he sees her.

"um..... which question should I answer first, ok first of all this is a secret library inside. a library and I didn't find the library the library found me, and secondly I can't help but smile anytime I see you" said Benjamin still smiling, you can tell how happy he is by the expression on his face.

"listen I don't have time to chit chat with you, I have class in 5mins time" said Cassandra, as she pack up her stuff into her bag pack and she head to the door, Benjamin followed her trying to stop her so that they could spend sometime together.

"hey Cassandra why don't you spend two minutes of your time with me?....um...I promise you won't regret it" said Benjamin with hope in his eyes soon to be crush

"I'm so sorry Benjamin but I don't have time, and even if I have enough time, what makes you think I will spend it with you?"said Cassandra who is busy trying to open the door

"Because i am fun to be with and I really want to be your friend" said Benjamin Still trying to convince Cassandra who is not even paying attention to him at the moment....but all her focus is on the door "Cass!... Cassandra are you even listening?... listen....cas--"Benjamin was cut short by Cassandra before he could finish with what he was saying..

"No you listen Benjamin! I don't want to be friends with you, so pleaseee....stay away from me!...and why isn't the door opening?...Ha!...!!!!...wait...did you lock the door when you came inside?." asked Cassandra looking at Benjamin like an angry Mom.

"um..... actually I....the thing is I.....I mean the door....I think the door locked itself"said Benjamin looking so nervous...

" Ugh, are being serious right now?... the door locked itself?..wow...(scoff) calm down Cass calm down.....what am I going to do now?" said Cassandra looking so stressed what is going to happen now, and is only the two of us here, Alex can't find that I am here and also alone with Benjamin, i am going to be death meat if that happens I need to think of something.

"wait Cass let me try....is the door always like this?." asked Benjamin still trying to open the door.

"No.. wait if we can't open from inside that means the door is locked from outside.....why didn't I think of that!..I need to call for help" said Cassandra talking her phone from her bag and then dialing Julie number...the phone rang but she didn't answer the phone "please pick up Julie please...."said Cassandra feeling paranoid, on the fifth ring the phone rang for sometime and the got disconnected..."oh God this can't happen please..... help me" said Cassandra then she got a text from Julie saying "sorry I can't talk right now, I am in class where are you lecture started like 3mins ago, you better hurry up because Alex is getting paranoid and he has been asking about you...I had to tell him you have a running stomach and you are in the restroom, where are you?"messaged Julie

"I am at the secret library and I can't get out, it's like someone lock the door from the outside please come and help me" Cassandra quickly replied Julie.

After reading Cassandra message, she sent her reply"what!..how?.. ok I will be there in 5mins"

"finally help is on its way" said Cassandra breathing the sigh of relief...

"really?"asked Benjamin

"yes.... Julie will be here in 5mins, I just pray Alex doesn't notice" said Cassandra looking really worried

"why are you so scared of Alex?" asked Benjamin looking so curious

"and why do you care?....I don't like discussing my personal matter with strangers" said Cassandra immediately she took her headphone connected it to her phone and put it on then she went back to the spot she was sitting the first time Benjamin entered.

"um..... stranger? am I still consider a stranger? after everything?... wow..." Benjamin can't help but question himself as he watch Cassandra treating him as if he wasn't even there.

....

Back in the classroom Alex been paranoid about the fact that Cassandra is not in class as ask one of his men to check the bathroom if Cassandra is really inside and if she needs any help, but his men as already confirmed that Cassandra is not inside the restroom, now he is just so furious as always, and he is just waiting patiently for Julie to make a move.

Thinking of the most valuable excuse Julie could come up with, she excuses herself saying she wanted to use the restroom, after her permission was granted, Julie immediately ran to the library, unknowingly to her, Alex and his men followed her.

Immediately she arrived at the door of the secret she opened the door, and Cassandra immediately ran out and hugged her

"thank you----" said Cassandra who freezed Midway as she saw Alex in front of her, and Benjamin just came out of secret library with her, the look on Alex's face shows HELL, immediately it's because difficult for Cass to breathe, Her time stop and she just stood there helpless.
