This choice: Damien Johnson, the diligent student... • Go Back...Chapter #3Damien Johnson, the diligent student... by: Switcheroo   Damien's studying was interrupted by the sound of his sister Lilith sighing, and he looked up at her.
"Something wrong, sis?" he asked. "You seem really down!" Lily shook her head in response.
"No, it's fine..." she replied half-heartedly. Damien was getting worried about Lily. She wasn't the most well-endowed girl her age, and seemed to get picked on for it, going by an encounter he had with one of her classmates. Knowing he had a bigger chest than his sister... It just made him feel bad for her. If he knew how to help her, he would.
"S..." Something in Damien made him think it might be best to just leave her alone for now. "I'm just gonna take a break. I'll be back in a bit."
"Okay..." Lily said, getting lost in her own thoughts as Damien left her alone to just go browse the shelves for anything that looked interesting to read. Damien, truthfully, enjoyed learning about interesting topics, and having a read through ones that caught his eye tended to refresh him during times like this, which is why he liked the library. He was a twinge alienated from his peers for having such a 'boring' hobby, but he knew that Lily needed the alone time more than him. Poor, poor Lily... Damien wished he could help his sister out in some way.
However, after a while of searching, nothing seemed to catch Damien's eye. Not a fiction, history, or biographical book he came across spoke to him. Just before he gave up and headed back, though, something spotted his eye in the children's section. It was a place of happy memories for the siblings, where Damien and Lily both picked up a love of reading - Lily went on to other things, but Damien still loved a good book. So one book finally caught his eye - a book that's cover was completely blank and grey, in the middle of the colourful children's section on a chair. With nobody around from a quick look, he went into the tiny section, crouched down, and picked the strange little book on the chair up. Looking around the cover... nothing. While contemplating the book and fiddling with it in his hands, it fell open in them, and he quickly caught it and looked on the page it landed on, featuring...   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
