boys like you are overrated

Tsuyoshi Paru

Sneaking in to the library wasn't the hard part of Tsuyoshi's plan. Getting in without seeing or talking to anyone, was.

A few days ago during her orientation, she had been introduced to the library. The tour of the school was excruciatingly long and intensely humiliation. She had been dragged around the whole island by someone she did not know and spent the better half of the day choking on her own desire to be alone. She had spoken more that day than in her whole life combined, it seemed, and she just wanted to cry and run home. She only bright side of the tour was the library. At first, an entire cornucopia of books seemed just as boring as anything else, but then, her tour guide had brought up the rules. No talking! Quiet study! And the place was big enough to escape nearly everyone. It was that day that she decided that if she would be forced to live there, she would spent lots of time hiding in the library.

She had waited until after dark to sneak in. She had run into no one on her trip from the dorms, which she accounted to luck, but then, the librarian was sleeping! Such great luck she was having! No embarrass introductions! She would just run away quickly to the farthest corner of the place and sit. Maybe she could get super luck,y and everyone on the whole island would forget she existed, after a while.

Unfortunately for her, her luck ended quickly. She spun around a corner and right into the vision of a boy. He was looking right at her, without a doubt. She couldn't just slink away, she was already caught up in the moment. She exhaled, preparing to greet him, and hoped her voice would come out alright. Bowing to him, she spoke.

"Um, h-hello. I am sorry if I interrupted you."

Alisanne was having issues that day. It was far too nice outside to be stuck inside shelving books. With the turn of the seasons, she could feel the familiar longing for the sweet summer breeze on her skin. Shivering at the memories of long dead seasons, Ali inhaled sharply before returning to her task. No matter how much she liked being able to make mischief on unexpecting students, it never completely replaced her stream.

Completing her shelving duties, Alisanne returned to her secluded little spot, her foot swinging idly. She considered wandering over to the other librarian, a little irritated that he could fall asleep so easily when there was so much to look at. A solid pounce to his furry body would take care of that issue, but she couldn't seem to find the energy to do as such. Her light blue hair tumbled over her shoulders as she leaned forward, hands gripping the edge of her seat, her foot twitching steadily faster.

Sweeping the room with her eyes for the millionth time, she caught sight of a boy she had omitted earlier. Blinking suddenly, she sat back in her spot, intent on this new distraction. He had horns like a stag, and Ali wondered if it would be rude to ask to touch them. He also appeared to have funny little ears, and a little tail to match. Standing, Ali slipped behind the boy, in time to catch sight of another figure approaching her newest target. Pouncing now, Ali wrapped her fingers gently around the base of the curious boy's antlers, entralled with the idea of someone having antlers. She hadn't been on the island long, and was still rather impressed with the vast collection of powers and appearances that the students possessed. It really was a shame there weren't any other nymphs that she had found.

Unsure of what to do now that she had managed to latch on, Ali reluctantly let go. At least she hadn't tried to tug them off. She imagined that would hurt. Though, it would make quite an interesting experience. For both her and her new favourite. "He's got antlers!" Directing this comment at the second stranger that had approached Antlers, Ali skipped around to the side of the chair, as she dropped closer to the ground, balancing on her toes. "You've got antlers! Your ears are rather pretty, too."
