The Library

The Library is newly finished. The outside gleams with its tall, white marble walls, while the inside, has a breath taking amount of books. Half of the Library is in Greek, while the other half in is other languages (English, Spanish, French etc.)
The ceiling has majestic paintings of the Olympians as well as a beautiful stained glass scenery that casts colorful glows on the floor and illuminates the inside of the Library in rich colors.
There are tall, mahogany bookshelves that reach almost all the way up to the ceiling. There are rolling ladders beside every book case, making it easy to reach the books you desire.
On the left side of the library are the books translated into Greek. There are the normal books you would find in any library. Fiction (Harry Potter, Twilight and other popular books), Nonfiction (such as scientific books, history books, as well as a section on Greek Mythology), and other various sections for research and other subjects.
On the right side of the library are books that are split up by language. English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese and Japanese, as well as other areas with smaller selections. Each section is split up the same (by type: Poetry, Fiction, Nonfiction etc.) This side is less popular among half-bloods, due to their dyslexia.
On the far left of the Library is an area that campers can sit and read. There are various chairs, couches and tables that are quite comfortable. Beside the sitting area is the front desk, where you go to check out and return books.
On the far right of the Library is the research area. There are different cubicles with desks, chairs, desk lamps and other necessities for studying. There are a few computers, but they are quite old and out dated, due to their lack of use.
Overall, it is a beautiful Library full of information and knowledge for all ages.

Cassie walked into the new library, immediately feeling like she was back at home with her father. There were books everywhere, and several college aged kids studying. It was exactly like OSU, except without her father, and without the real sense of home. There was even that book smell that Cassie loved. Whenever she had a book, she would flip the pages quickly and the air would rush to her face. That air always had a smell, and it smelled like this library.

Heading towards the Spanish section, Cassie bumped into a boy around her age. Jumping back, she was quick to apologize. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to run into you! I was heading to the Spanish section." Cassie pointed to a section of shelves just beyond where the two were standing. "I'm Cassie," she quickly added, sticking out her hand.

Cassie blushed at pushed her bangs to the right. For once, they were out of her eyes, and she could see everything around her. At Griffin's offer, Cassie had to smile anxiously. It would be great to take a lesson or two from this boy. He was actually really cute, and Cassie hadn't hung out with any guys in a long time.

"That would be great," she replied, pushing her hair behind her ears. She looked down, then looked up again, her face bright red. "And it's nice to meet you, too." Cassie couldn't help but wonder what kind of future she had with this boy. I mean, they could really be friends. Spanish was know to draw people together. Okay, maybe it wasn't, but Cassie was willing to look past that.

"I'm warning you, though, I'm pretty bad at Spanish. My dad didn't teach Spanish, nor did he teach in Spain." Cassie smiled brightly, her face lighting up and the red fading back to a pale white. If he was willing to deal with someone who knew little to no Spanish, than Cassie was willing to let him teach her.

Watching Griffin from behind, Cassie giggled. He was actually quite humorous to watch, but she was sure her trip had been just as laughable. After all, she had run into someone, while he had only dented the rug.

Pretending to be cool and collected, Cassie followed to boy, understanding hitting her. "Is your dyslexia bad?" she asked. Soon after asking, though, she realized the question was probably too personal. "Never mind, you don't have to answer that. My dyslexia is pretty minor, because I grew up around books, but the doctor said that if I stopped reading as much as I do, then it could easily become severe." Cassie, after realized she was talking too much, shut her mouth and sat down.

"I probably learn better by being taught, rather than by reading, anyway. I'm sure that you taking me through it would be more helpful, but, I apologize in advance if I get distracted. I have a minor case of ADD." Cassie smiled sweetly at Griffin, her blue eyes sparkling as the light hit them strangely.
