Hate Is A Strong Word

[1]

A/N: I've never written a romance fanfic before so just be patient with me please
There might be spelling or grammar mistakes

Im not the type to hold a grudge and I don't think I ever will be. I'm not that type of person. Then again if they do hurt one of my friends that's another story...

"Levchka! Come on we're going to be late!"

I looked up from my notebook. I checked the time and realized it was already 1:00. I grabbed a sweater and headed downstairs to my sister, Alisa.

"Took you long enough."

"Do I really have to come along sis?"

"Come on! You already promised to come to the book fair with me. Besides there a sale!"

I sighed knowing she would force me to go anyways. We both headed to the front door and leaving the house; the car keys in my sisters hands.

We hopped in the car and Alisa started driving down Main Street. After a 20 minute long drive (which was quiet except for the radio playing in the background softly) we made it to the bookstore. As we walked closer to the store doors I wondered if I would see one of my friends.

As I noticed the time I quickly packed my notebook a few pens and pencils and 1-2 books into my backpack and left the house. As I was walking towards my destination I put in my AirPods and played some soothing music to keep me distracted for a bit.

Once I made it to the store I noticed all the people. I completely forgot about the sale today. I simply shrugged it off and walked into the store sitting down at a table in the back. As I pulled out everything from my backpack I took out my AirPods out of my ears stopping the music.

I opened my book and quickly continued what I was working on before. My surroundings completely disappeared as I worked.

I was quickly brought back to the world as I felt someone staring at me. I looked up to see someone I did not expect.

"Oh great..."

"Oh my god! I was right!"

I looked at the bit strangely from his comment. "Right? Right about it what?"

"That you are Nohebi's volleyball captain. Daishou Suguru right?"

"..right? Lev Haiba, middle blocker. Correct?"

"You remember!"

I only roll my eyes as I continue to work. I kept trying to focus but I kept feeling his gaze on me. "I'm sorry do you need something?"

"Oh no! Just wondering what you were drawing."

"That's none of your business."

"O-oh yeah! Of course."

The silver haired boy went back to looking at the book section. Fantasy to be specific. I never really thought of him to be someone to read a book. He seems like he's never even opened a textbook in his life.

"Now your staring at me!"

"I-"

I quickly realized I was and looked back down at my notebook. Why was that so awkward?

"You just don't seem like a person to read books."

"Oh...we'll I'm not a book worm like my sister but I'll read a couple fantasy or romance novels here and there."

He grabbed a book and looked at the spine; reading the number on its side.

"Aw man! Why is book 1 so hard to find?"

He put the book back but before it disappeared in the row of written works of art I noticed the title of the book.

"Crooked Kingdom?"

"Oh yeah! I've been trying to read it but I can't ever find the first book for some reason!"

I took a deep sigh and opened my bag. "I'll lend you the first copy but you have to give it back when your done."

I saw the gaze in his eyes glimmer as he saw me hand him the first book of the series.

"Thank yo-"

"A few rules though. First please don't ruin the spine of the book or the pages. And you can't spoil anything. Number 2 we should exchange numbers so I know when you've finished the book."

"Ok!"

We exchange numbers and give each other's phones backs. "I'll be taking my leave then."

He smiled brightly and I rolled my eyes packing my things into my bag. "I expect it back by the end of 3 weeks."

"Understood!"

I left my spot leaving Lev Haiba behind in the back of library..with my book. What the hell did I just do?

I left the bookstore with lots on my mind.

A/N: i head canon that lev and Daishou are huge book worms. Also I have no idea what I'm doing. I literally have no plan for this book I'm just going with he flow. So sorry if it's bad.
