The Old Library

The conversation was quite interesting and besides I never get tired talking to them.

The two month vacation quickly came to an end and we returned to college but this time as third year students. We were very excited but continued our days as usual with much more energy and spirit.

All through,I sometimes talked to Lyons on the phone and after sometime, I realized that he was a very good person and was very true to himself. I also realized we really got along and complemented each other's characters very well. Not to forget I also got to know his two friends better.

"You guys come and check this out, Lyons is gonna play the male lead role for the popular novel THE FAITHFUL REUNION by the famous Writer KAIZY." Rica said with excitement.

" I guess he really fits the male character description a lot. By the way did Mark tell you this news because it hasn't been officially announced yet"Lea commented.

" That's why you need to get yourself a good boyfriend, it seems only the two of us are dating. Tell me what are you guys waiting for" Mia asked teasingly.

" Don't worry, I might be Rica's sister in-law in the future"Vicky said while winking at Rica.

" Wait Rica, you have a brother?, why didn't you tell us?" I asked while faking a cry.

" No, I don't have a brother,"Rica replied.

" Or are you talking about Teddy?"Lea asked as she focused her gaze on Vicky. This made all of us turn to look at Vicky with interest.

"Yes my lovely friends. We are actually talking it out but we aren't officially in a relationship yet. I kinda think he's quite good though"Vicky said shyly.

" Who wouldn't like Teddy? I mean he's quite handsome and hot. he is also quite capable"

Mia commented.

" I wish you all the best though" I added and just then, Mia got a message from Ben asking her to meet him at the old library at 8:40pm. The school had two libraries, one old and one new. People rarely went to the old library but at that time we didn't really think much into it.

Exactly 8:30 that night, Mia left for the library. When she reached there, Ben wasn't there and so she decided to take a seat and wait for him. But she waited for so long yet he didn't show up. She tried to call him but she ran out of battery and so she decided to wait a little more.

At this time, Ben called to ask if Mia was with me because he couldn't get through to her phone.I then asked him if she wasn't with him and he said no. I then told him she informed us that she got his message telling her to come to the old library tonight and so she left around nine and it's already past an hour since she went out.

At the thought of this, Ben told me he was going to the library to find her and I should also tell the other girls to look for her at other places as he hanged up.

Ben rushed to the library but by the time he reached there, it was almost around 9:50pm and the library was to be closed at 10:00 pm everyday. When Ben reached there, he saw Mia sitting on one of the sofas at the library holding a book. He then went straight and hugged her. As they were chatting, Ben forgot about the time. Just then the lights at the library went out. At that time, The two of them rushed to the entrance but by the time they reached there, the door was already closed.

Ben put on his phone's flashlight for him and Mia. After a series of calls Ben got someone to come and open the door for them.

After they came out of the library, Ben escorted Mia back to the dormitory. As she entered the room, we all heaved a sigh of relief.

"Ben told me he wasn't the one who sent the message," Mia said as she sat down.

"So did you make a mistake ?" Lea asked.

" No I didn't but what's even more weird was that his message box was empty. Actually Ben rarely texts me, but it didn't really appear to me earlier today." Mia added.

" But how can that be?" Rica commented.

"I don't know. I guess I have to be careful from now onwards" Mia added and we all nodded with agreement.

It was really hard to say what happened. But the thing was why would anyone do that.

"Hello Ben, were you looking for me?" Lydia said the moment she saw Ben.

" Yes," Ben simply replied.

"Why are you looking for me then?" Lydia asked with an innocent look.

"Why did you do that?" Ben asked disdainfully.

" What did I do? what are you talking about?" Lydia asked still with an innocent expression.

"When you asked for my phone yesterday, You sent a message to Mia and asked her to go to the library right?" Ben asked with no expression on his face.

" No, I didn't do that. I just tried calling my phone as I couldn't find it" Lydia replied with a fake cry.

" I don't care but I would warn you not to mess with my girlfriend!!" Ben said with a Stern voice.

" What did you just say? Mia is your girlfriend?" Lydia asked with a trace of surprise.

" Yes and I will warn you to stay away from her. Don't exceed your limits"Ben said as he left Lydia standing with a sad expression.

A week later, Vicky told us she was going on a date with Teddy and he was the one who asked her out. That day, Vicky looked much brighter as she was really happy. Lea dressed her up. Vicky was a slim girl with a great body. I mean all of us had a great body too. The dress was a Celine limited edition for the women's spring edition. She complimented it with a black Miu Miu mini bag and a pair of block heels.

Vicky had brown/ hair which fell just under her shoulders, she also had a pair of brown eyes which complemented her facial features very well. We waved at Vicky and wished her good luck on her first date.

Later that afternoon, I received a text from Lyons telling me about his upcoming movie. I wished him good luck and chatted for a few good minutes with him. I really liked talking to him.
