Lamees, overcome with shame and embarrassment at being caught like that, pushed Gunner away and ran in the opposite direction, the tears already stinging her eyes at the realization at what could've happened if the librarian hadn't interrupted them. How could she be so senseless? How could she let it get that far?

Her legs were aching now but she couldn't stop because she could already hear his footsteps. Soon he would catch up to her. She passed by the girl's bathroom and then paused, only to turn around and run towards it. That was the one place where Gunner couldn't follow her. She pulled open the door and ran inside before Gunner could catch her. "Wait, Lamees!"

The door closed.
