THE LIBRARY
Owen: "Luna!"
Mason: "What?"
Owen: "Luna is her name."
Mason: "Whom?"
Owen: *smirking* "The one you fell for in the canteen."
Mason: *raising an eyebrow* "Really? How do you know that? Are you teasing me?"
Owen: "I asked her friend, Sophia, who was sitting next to her in class."
Mason: *grinning* "Oh, you have good connections. Do you like her?"
Owen: *blushing slightly* "No, no, we just talked. I'm not an introvert like you."
Mason: *chuckling* "Alright, let's go for dinner."
Owen: "Yeah, I'm starving too."
As they headed to the dining hall, Mason glanced at Owen thoughtfully.
Mason: "By the way, since you seem to know everything about this school, is there a library here?"
Owen: *nodding* "Yeah, there is. But why do you ask?"
Mason: "I want to read a book."
Owen: "Oh."
Mason: "Alright then, let's go to the library tomorrow."
Owen: "Well, as you wish."
Later that night, they ran into Lian, a student from another house, and decided to have dinner together. The three of them enjoyed their meal, sharing jokes and funny stories.
Mason: "By the way, where are you from?"
Lian: *casually* "67, Parramatta Road, Parramatta, New South Wales, 2150."
Mason: *laughing* "Okay, okay! I didn't ask for your entire address—or your horoscope!"
The three of them burst into laughter, enjoying the lighthearted moment.
Lian: "Alright then, good night, Mason and Owen."
Mason and Owen, in unison: "Good night!"

### **The Next Morning**
Mason knocked on Owen's door.
Mason: "Are you ready?"
Owen: *groggy* "For what?"
Mason: *rolling his eyes* "Did you forget? We were going to the library today."
Owen: "Oh, right! Let's go."
They arrived at the library and explored the bookshelves. Mason carefully scanned the sections, searching for something specific. After a while, he approached the librarian, Mr. Coo.
Mason: "Suzan's book isn't here, right?"
Mr. Coo: *sighing* "Oh, sorry, child. We haven't updated our collection in a long time, so we don't have it."
Mason: *disappointed* "Alright, thanks for your time. I guess I'll have to buy the fourth part myself—I've already read the first three."
Mr. Coo: "Hope you find it soon, child."
As Mason turned around, he noticed Owen was missing. He wandered through the aisles, checking each section until he finally spotted him in the magazine section, engrossed in something.
Mason: *curious* "What are you reading?"
Owen, startled, quickly threw the magazine aside. His face turned pale.
Owen: *nervously* "N-nothing!"
Mason picked up the magazine and smirked. It was an 18+ magazine. He turned to Owen, raising an eyebrow.
Owen: *grinning sheepishly* "I was just... exploring, and I stumbled upon this."
Mason let out a chuckle, shaking his head. "You're impossible."
Just as they were about to leave the library, Mr. Coo suddenly called them back, his face filled with shock.
