Y/n Pov:

I put my phone down and smile. I think I love Wilbur.

He's so charming! I can't believe I held his hand and got his number.

I wonder if he meant it when he said I was the most beautiful thing in the world. Maybe, i guess I'll never know.

Aaliyah knocks on my door.

"So???????" She says. "How'd it go?"

I smile and roll my eyes.

"Well we held hands, he called me beautiful and gave me his number!" I say, proud.

"Dammmmnnn! You go gurl!" Aaliyah says swatting her hair back like a 'material girl'.

I laugh doing the same hair flick.

"Well, I gotta go, but anything exciting that happens tell me and also if your about to go hang out with HIM instead of ME maybe tell me?" She says jokingly.

"Okay, Okay!"

I here the front door shut, she's gone to see her boyfriend, Jordan, he's a complete arsehole but I'll let her date him for now. It also gives me a reason to laugh at her in the future.

Im to tired to do much, so I just make a cup of tea and sit on the sofa starting a new book.

-Time Skip-

I'm scrolling through TikTok and I check the time to see 3:00 AM.

I should probably go to sleep but texting Wilbur is too tempting.

Im about to text him but he beats me too it.

Wilbur
This reminds me of you :)

He says attaching an image of a dog grinning.

Me

Wilbur

Me
So your calling me a bitch?

Wilbur
NOOO that is not what I meant

Me

Wilbur
Haha, right well goodnight y/n

Me
Goodnight Wilbur

"Goodnight!" I say to Gilda as she leaves the library.

"Night, Night my dear!" She leaves the library.

I decide to clean some things up before I go some I grab the box of returned books and head to the shelves.

'Memories' by Lang Leav in the poetry section.

'Moby-Dick' by Herman Neville in the adventure section.

'Pride & Prejudice' by Jane Austen in the romance section.

I'm packing away books and sorting through others that are misplaced.

I'm starting to get bored so I go over to an old record player picking one of the many records and putting it on.

I go back to sorting the books, dancing a little.

I get distracted and start prancing up and down the floor. I kick my shoes of making me slide faster. I'm shouting my favourite lyrics, not caring if anyone can here me. Picking up books spinning as I put them on other shelves. I start to sweep a bit too, swinging on Micheal's broom like I was dancing with a person.
