"Bring a friend," the line cut and Quill's dad's words still stuck in her mind. Bring a friend? Right. Sarah lost all her friends and only after yesterday did she find out why.

Her family always loved having get-togethers and everyone brought a minimum of seven people with them.

Back then each one would have their own rooms, but now all that had changed after what she had done. One friend this time.

"Hey, are you busy?" She spoke into her phone waiting for Allegra to respond. 'I'm on my way to the library, wanna come." Of course she would, she had no one to talk to and she really needed a friend.

"Would love to." She went straight to Allegra's room which she was already familiar with after that incident, she had felt guilty and embarrassed that she played it off by being rude and a bully. Allegra's room was beautiful but she wasn't about to tell her that.

"Glad you made it, let's go, "Allegra was holding a novel in one hand. "You know, I actually don't like reading,"Quill truthfully told her.

"Then why are you going?" Allegra wasn't being rude, she was genuinely curious. Quill asked herself that same question before and the answer was the same as before, no friends.

"I want to see if I find something interesting." The walk there was peacefully quiet and she appreciated the company, it was nice being alone with someone.

They sat down at a table at the far end, Allegra chose the spot because she was obviously annoyed by the staring that they got from the people around.

"Sooo where do I find the interesting stuff?" Quill said loudly and everyone turned to her with wide eyes. " Shh, this is a Library where you don't talk loudly. "Allegra scolded. Quill mouthed a sorry.

"Go over there at the front and ask them for help." Allegra advised. Quill got up and went in the direction that Allegra pointed out to and each person gave her the 'she's the one' look.

Allegra was actually starting to like the novel. The pace, world building and the characters were everything. She noticed the name Nicasia and let out a gasp, Klaus was so dead, she thought.

It had been hours since Quill left. Just as she was about to finish the chapter she was reading, Quill walked towards her with five huge books in her hands smiling. "These better be good," she said as she sat down beside Allegra.

Allegra eyed the books and noticed that they were historical novels. "Who would have thought," she whispered to no one in particular

Hours into the novel, Allegra knew she wasn't getting a novel from Klaus. "How are you liking the experience?" A voice came, then the sound of a chair being moved and a body sitting down on it.

"I thought we weren't supposed to talk that loud." Sarah said looking accusingly at Allegra. Allegra was too busy studying the guy's face to notice.
