°•~Parallel world, is that a new obsession.~•°

"What do you want to tell us?" Aiden asked, looking rather curious. He wanted to know if it was about his sudden confession to Fera or something to do with Fera. Oh This Girl, Fera....
'Was she not serious when I told her about his feelings? But she said that we would be friends even after that. Then why is she acting strange?' Dozen of questions flooded his mind. He couldn't understand why the Greece's siblings were acting strange. Did something happen that he didn't know of.
''What is it?" Chelsea asked. She was also thinking the same thing. She couldn't quite decipher the meaning behind these twin's side glances.
Elijah knew what he doing. He created a ruckus in their mind. Even though the things that he was going to reveal will lead to more chaos but it had to be done.
He took his phone out of his pocket and typed something on it. Then he put it back inside and looked at Mabel like he was telling her it was the time that they better tell them everything.
Mabel just rolled her eyes at the 6th tall Manchild standing in front of her. Then she took a look at everyone's face.
Chelsea and Aiden looked like they were waiting for her to tell them everything. Chelsea even looked like she would be pulling Mabel to a corner and tie her up to ask about what IS GOING WITH THEM TWO?
And Dylan just looked like he wanted it to end and go get a pizza.
"Just spit those words out Elijah. What're you waiting for, Full moon?" Dylan asked getting exasperated. He just couldn't wait for him to even start. He just wanted to get out of his college campus like a prisoner would want to get out of the prison.
"Not here. First let's get out of Belmont" Elijah said looking at the other students who were also chilling there.
"We're going out of Belmont. Then I wait for all day. But let's just goooo." Dylan said grinning.
This made Chelsea chuckle while Mabel and Aiden disgustingly rolled their eyes.
Elijah just ignored their interaction. He was just too worried about how his friends were going to react to the present situation. He was sighing heavily when he brought all of his solace to calm himself down.
He held Mabel's hand and guided her to the parking. He didn't wanted her to get lost again as it was only her first day at school.
"We know you're protective of your twin but geez. You really didn't need to guide her to the parking. It's not her first day at Belmont." Chelsea said slightly cringing at the site of them showing twin love to each other. She wasn't very familiar with Elijah and Fera being loving twins. They were mostly always fighting.
"Why? Are you jealous that you don't have a brother like me." Elijah said while smirking. He knew how to hit Chelsea's soft spot. And she always snap way harder whenever someone does it.
"Believe me, my wish of having a elder brother died after I met you too. You really made me grateful for not having a brother." Chelsea said while giving a straight smile. Elijah just ignored her and didn't try to poke her further.
They all decided to get in the car as Dylan couldn't wait to be out of his hell.
Mabel was driving with Elijah while Chelsea and Dylan were with Aiden.
As Aiden was starting his car he remembered that Elijah never told them where they were going. So he pulled down his window and asked,
"Elijah! You didn't tell me where to drive." Elijah looked at him through the glass of his window and mustered up the courage to blurt out those three words "Love Life Library".
Aiden was beyond shocked after hearing those those cuss words out Elijah's mouth. He couldn't believe what Elijah just said. His face looked like it was hit with a meteor.
"Elijah! How can say that?" Chelsea exclaimed in a surprised voice. "Or did I hear it wrong?" She corrected herself before Elijah could lunge at her.
"You didn't hear it wrong. We are going to the Love Life library." Elijah again uttered those words while gritting his teeth.
"More like Fucked-my-life library" Mabel muttered while adjusting in her seat.
"But it's beyond inappropriate to even go near that street." Dylan shouted from the back seat of Aiden's car.
The Love Life library has become an inside joke amongst them ever since Fera started to spend more of her time there. It was mostly Elijah and Dylan who always started it in front of Fera. They would even go as far as calling that place cursed or accuse Fera of being possessed by a spirit of a dead book worm.
Everyone just played along with the joke but Elijah actually hated the library. He thought that her twin's 'escape place' isn't actually going to let her escape her emotions.
He wanted her to face those emotions and get done with her breakup phase. But she just got turned into a romantic-fantasy book fanatic.
"Ahhh! Now I feel like it would've been better if I just waited for you to finish in the Belmont." Dylan said regretting.
"Just start the car and drive there, Aiden. There isn't time to play." Elijah almost yelled. Aiden then knew that it was something serious otherwise Elijah wouldn't even put his serious face on.
After a drive of thirty minutes, they all finally reached The library. Everyone got out of the car and opened the main gate.
It showed a beautiful lawn with a fountain in the centre. Ahead of that fountain was a big building of mediaeval design. It was perfect library for a fantasy fanatic.
Aiden, Chelsea and Dylan were stunned to find the library look so magical. At least now they know why Fera liked to spend so much of her time there.
"Don't leave your mouth hanging. Just come inside." Mabel said and everyone followed her.
Mabel was now going to the fantasy section where she usually find Jessica. She knew Jessica had to play a big part in the revelation of the parallel world to those earthlings. Without Jessica and the hand mirror, it was impossible to convince them to believe the truth.
She walked through the Erotica aisle to the fantasy one. It was very unusual for her to see so many people reading in the erotica studio.
Unlike the other libraries, The Love Life library had a special studio for different genre inspired by the theme of that genre. But they were only available for the premium members of the library.
Recently, the idea got popular through social media and many people came to enjoy the experience of reading. Special Canteen menu were also available for them.
"Whoa! This place is actually sick." Chelsea was amazed. She had always thought that this library would be just like any other library so whenever Fera asked to join her, she simply refused.
But now that she had come here, it looked like palace from the inside.
"This library has many reading studios and also old school design book houses too. It would accommodate every reader's style." a lady spoke from behind them. They all turned to look at her. She was a tall lady wearing a white blouse , a long brown pencil skirt and a brown overcoat. Her skin looked healthy and by her appearance one could tell that she was definitely mixed race.
"Jessica, did you get my message?" Elijah asked. He was getting pretty anxious just like he was presenting in front of the whole class.
"Yeah about that, I don't think it's a good idea." Jessica replied in a professional tone.
"What isn't a good idea?" Aiden asked her. He could smell something fishy going on between them.
"As you know, Ms. Fera Greece has been a loyal visitor of our library. She is also a premium member of the library. As a member of the premium club, she has suggested the idea of opening a parallel-world-story house. She has proposed many great ideas to contribute to that." Jessica began to explain.
"It would have great if it were a romance or fantasy club. But parallel-world stories aren't really popular here." Jessica told them disappointingly.
"That's why it is a good idea." Mabel said gaining everyone's attention.
"Opening a parallel-world story house would draw attention to the books that's been buried in those shelf. The publishers who are struggling to sell those books would like to pay us to advertise them. And once people get addicted to that genre they wouldn't stop reading those books any soon. We could earn so much from that." Mabel pretended to explain while playing along.
"But why did you drag us here?" Aiden asked being suspicious of both of them.
"To ask you all to help me convince the other members of the club." Mabel replied in a troubled tone.
"And how will we be of any help?" Aiden again asked her. Mabel could tell that he was not buying their act, so she tried to sound a bit pitiful.
"People in the club are mostly rich women trying to keep up with new trends. If they thought that many university students are now being intrested in this new genre then they would definitely agree with my idea. All we have to do is to click pictures with those parallel-world books." Mabel said while smiling charmingly trying to woo this guy standing in front of her.
"Parallel world. Is that a new obsession?" Aiden whispered in low voice in her ears as she was standing just beside him.
Mabel was shocked at his sudden action but quickly maintained her composure.
"Yeah! I find it very enticing." she also whispered in her sensual voice. It was enough to prove that this girl was not backing down from anything. It was sign that something was definitely up with her.
Elijah just kept quite after seeing how Jessica and Mabel turned everything in the wrong direction. He knew they were not with his decision so he didn't pull anything up and just let them handle it.
After some further explaining, Dylan and Chelsea were convinced that they just came here to help the twins. But something just kept bugging Aiden.
He still agreed to take the pictures.
It was after taking the pictures that everyone decided to leave except Mabel and Elijah. They told everyone they had to do some paper work for the new story-house so they followed Jessica to her office.
Chelsea, Dylan and Aiden were in his car. Aiden was holding his stering wheel while he was in a deep thought. Chelsea nudged him to make him look up then asked, "What are you thinking?".
" Nothing" he simply replied and started driving away from the Library.
