I don’t understand why people come to libraries to study. I can’t concentrate
here for more than five seconds at a time. It’s too silent, forcing my ears to
pick up on everything that isn’t quiet like the guy breathing heavily at the
next table.
My brows inch up. Seriously, is he watching porn on his laptop in the
library? What else could explain his labored breaths? Certainly not
statistics. And if so, then I’m in the wrong statistics class.
I shudder and look ahead at a girl who is practically chewing her entire
finger off. Her nail is all but destroyed, yet she gnaws away like a beaver
chopping wood. Gross!
My shoulders slump in fruitless hope. I slam my textbook shut. The
loud bang causes three more sets of eyes to glance up at me. I flash a
pressed smirk, silently apologizing.
“Shh!” A whisper tickles my ears. I do the opposite and squeak out a
scream, earning a look from the lady at the desk that seems to peel the flesh
off my body.
“Tough crowd,” I murmur. I glance over my shoulder to see my brother
Peter hovering over me.
“How did—?” I begin, but I already know. Peter is the definition of a
protective older brother, and he has tracking apps, plural, on my and
Henry’s phones.
He pulls out the chair next to me. “Studying not going well?” He eyes
the closed book and my blank notepad.
I shrug. “I can’t concentrate here.”
“So, why’d you come?”
“The coffee shop had a clogged toilet, and it backed up, replacing the
aroma of coffee with sewage,” I reply.
He grimaces.
“My thoughts exactly,” I giggle. “Studying is bad enough, but enduring
that smell would be a new form of hell.” I slump in my chair. “Why are you
here?” I ask, keeping my voice low.
He swings his arm over the back of my chair. “Can’t a big brother visit
his little sister?”
“You always have a motive,” I joke.
He grins, but it’s forced.
“What’s wrong?” I inch back, searching his eyes for an answer.
He chews his lip and scans the library nervously. “You seem happy,”
he replies, his voice tinged with worry.
My brows furrow. “Am I supposed to be sad?”
His eyes widen. “No, that’s not what I meant. I just don’t want to ruin
your mood.”
I pivot in my chair. “Spit it out.”
He looks me dead in the eye, more like my dad than my brother. After
our parents died, Peter took on the roles of parent, brother, and friend. Peter
got the short end of the stick. You should have seen him try to give me the
sex talk; even worse was when I asked him to buy me tampons.
I think he
got his first gray hair that day. Henry, my other brother, parties. And I’m
somewhere in between the two—I try to be the responsible sister who also
wants to enjoy college and have a good time.
