"I don't care,our tests are coming soon focus on your studies Jeffrey ."

"Ok man see you you tomorrow . "

"No,I am gonna spend my day in town library if you want any help just meet me there."

Side eyes the new girl in corridor .

"Hey there this is my friend Raj and I am Lara nice to meet you,you are????"

 "Alaska."

"OHhh nice name and you are frommm???? "

"Brooklyn"

"Ok we'll make a nice team Raj is from India and I am from Africa ,my dad is African."

"Ok so what do like,what are your hobbies ?"

"Hmm,I like reading."

"Oh that's great,me and Raj are in love with fiction stories and yes we aren't in any relationship

we are like childhood friends,always together."

"That's nice I'd love to join you guys , well where's the reading club I'd like to join." Alaska asked.

"Sure sure we are members always we have every type of readers let me show you ." Lara replied

*goes down the hall in a big classroom full with books and games*

"What is this place?"Alaska in shock.

"Well our teachers says reading is much more fun than you think, this is our school library but trust me you'll love it ,

what do you read?" Lara asked

"Poems,I love the deep meaning inside it each poem has its own way of sharing ideas,my

said I used say whole my summer vaction in library ." Alaska replies.

"That's so sweet." Lara says.

Everyone gather around so first of all let's start by introducing our new member in club Alaska.

*everyone clasp*

Raj and Lara waves at her.

"Hello everyone I am Alaska I am from Brooklyn and I love reading." Alaska in front of the class.

"Hey Raj how's that guys ?"Alaska asks Raj.

"Ooo that's Gray he's kinda creep."He replied.

*Alaska founds him intresting*

It's afternoon,Gray heads to town library for reading his precious history books that he is so fond of.

He is very calculative,guy calculates everything in his life.His parents are engineers.They were so happy to have Grey in their life

until they found out how is he going to be,he loved ghostbusters in childhood as everyone but one day in hallowean party

got soaked in soda and marshmellos because he thought ghosts were goint to attack and got messed up.The one who pulled out

from that mess was Jeffrey he was the ghost , which Grey thought was real.And from that day on they became best friends.

As time passed Grey loved reading history about literally everything he found out many emporers were so calculative and smart that they

won their kingdom on the basis of that. He started being be meticulous about everything,if you take a look at his timetable

it looks like this:

wake up at 6

jogging

breakfast at 7

go to school early so that you can spend your time in library

classes from 8

In free period go tho the library

If PE class go tho the library

 lunch break go tho the library

after school go the library

home

homework

sleep at 11

And this time table goes on weekdays don't get started me on his weekends.After all this library schedule he had something

empty in his heart which he could also never knew.So This is our Gray.

"Come on bro atleast come with me it's saturday are you going to library again?lets party."

Jeffrey was born for pranks and party remember I told you about hallowean night it was Jeffrey who's idea was to dump Gray in that mess

but somehow they ended up being best friends.His parents are buisness man/woman he never worries about his studies,from that day on Gray was the one

who helped him clear his exams every single year yet he wants to party not worring about anything.The shocking news is they both

didn't had any girl in their lives, well once there were twin sisters for them but because of dear Gray they ran away.

Let's see what gray is doing.

Reading about world war II

Alaska comes in the picture .

Gray was always been nervous about talking with girls.

"Hii Gray right I think I saw you in school I'm Alaska nice to meet you." Alaska greets him.

"Hii i i I 'm Gray ."

"You like reading?" Alaska asks him.

"And why should I tell you,you are wasting my time I am already 5 minutes late from my schedule bye."Goes away.

Alaska made a wierd face what a weirdo I was just asking

She continues to read her poetry.

Gray goes to meet Jeffrey and tells him about what happened.

"What did you say!? Are you an idiot you have no sense to talikng to girls no wonder you are class topper

Next time you see her apologize and ask her out

No I can't my schedule....burn down your schedule you already have good marks just ask her out." Both to each other.

Next day in school Jeffrey insists him to go and talk tho Alaska but Gray neglects because he wants to go to library.

Alaska tells about other day tho her friends Raj and Lara

"He is a creep Alaska you'll not belive he bought a history book to my pool party last year he's a bookworm just ignore him."Lara gives her advise.

But Alaska founds him more intresting

That evening they met once again in library this time Gray apologize and asked her what she likes

"I like poetry they make me feel alive what do you like ?"Alaska replies and asks.

"History i like history ."Gray replies.

"Oo nice ."

*a wierd silence comes in*

Both at a time

"Do you have any bf/gf?"Both asks each other.

"No."Both at the same time

I never wanted one it doesn't fits in my schedule.

"Why do have to follow your schedule you can do both study and read books with fun,"Alaska warns him.

"But I don't like it that way bye I have to go home and complete my homework."Gray takes off.

This time Alaska didn't like it .

"Why do you every time has to mess everything with your stupid schedule?"Jeffrey asks him in anger.

"I couldn't change your view point this is not good you have have fun sometimes not always books helps in your life.

I wish something or someone changes your mind."Jeffrey wishes.

Alaska and friends hang out in cafe .

Raj shares about how this fiction character risks his life to save the whole world from zombies making funny moves

everyone laughed and they enjoyed their moment.

meanwhile Alaska notices Gray passing through cafe to go to library

She always found him intresting.

Days passed he had his same schedule and day by day he was ruining his teenage life in library Alaska liked library too but

she knew how to enjoy her life as well while she read she went to the other world same like Gray they were lot like

but a lot alike too.the reason she came to Bozeman was anew start her parents were so frank with her they supported her

she always said library was the place she felt like home.

At school

"Bro please help me out I am in a big trouble I kinda came between a fight yesterday with colledge boys you have to come and save me."Jeffrey begs.

"Ok ok calm down I 'll come at evening just don't get in trouble till that ."Gray agrees.

"Ok just please come."

Gray's favourite book was going to release that day and he went to buy that from bookstore that evening the line was long

for the book he was sweating he had to explain the matter to the colledge boys to save Jeffrey and bribe them a little

but he was late,he went to Jeffrey and saw he was beaten up.He started to cry.

"Why were you late look what happened you promised me you'll come soon what took so long?"He asked in his shacking voice.

"I am so sory I went to buys this book."Gray apologised.

"Book are you serious am I not important to you at all go enjoys your book are you happy now."In upset voice.

He whimps and went home

Gray was standing there what he did to hid only friend.

Jeffrey didn't came school for days he didn't answer Gray 's phone. Gray was so worried he went to his house to see if he was ok or not

but he didn't let him in.

Gray went to the library to clear up his mind he was laying down his head on table for hours Alaska came to return a book she issued

She went to Gray and asked him are you ok?

He said how can I be ok my friend was in need i was buying this stupid book he tells Alaska everthing.

They talked for hours in that library this time for them library was more than a comfort place this time they didn't only came to read but they talked

about everything about their favourite books their experience in library and all the stuff they felt connection between them the day passed

and it was a cold night he walked her home and gave her his favourite poetry book that he liked.They said their goodbyes

and slept silently in their homes.

Next day he went to Jeffrey and told him how much he matters to him and whats his value and apolosied for what he did

after a couple of arugments they made up

he told him about how he shared everything with Alaska how they were like.

he came to realization how he was all calculative in his life he now knew family friends and other stuff is also important

to live a happy life he give this all credit to library and Alaska who helped him to overcome everything.HE was a different person now.
