cole

Colton plopped himself down on the large couch, kicking his feet up, so he could use the arm rest as a pillow. He wasn't planning to sleep since his insomnia would only allow it so he'd screw up his sleep habits even more. He envisioned a tiny man, in his brain, working at a "control center" to plot against him. Cole smiled at the thought; he liked to make light of the situation. Sleeplessness just never seemed all that serious to him. He pulled out a thin paperback back book, worn over the years: Of Mice & Men. Everyone recommended it, but Cole just saw it as a waste of trees (just like the time he read The Great Gatsby for English 10). The former was just pointless to him and the latter was a mix of pointlessness (i.e. the parties, alcohol prohibition, drama - it would never concern him) and horrible writing (first-person is just disorganized formatting and cluttered thoughts). He tugged at the sleeves of his purple hooded zipper sweatshirt (he was strongly against the use of the word 'hoodie'), pulling them over his cold hands. It didn't help that he never wore anything heavier than a zipped-up jacket and straight-legged jeans. In his life survival guidebook, you never did anything that would draw attention to yourself. Just fly under the radar (and not right under, like seven feet, probably).

When it came to reading, sure, he did struggled here and there, but the dyslexia was never the problem. He was actually quite a good reader, his eyes just jumped to the next line or paragraph or ending. Then his mind would wander off and he'd think of minor details of his life (i.e. his lunch, food, another book) and then his little sister. Sometimes all the curly-headed boy thought about was his little sister's well-being. Amberlyn never liked their new step-father as nice he was. He always meant well, but it just got on Cole's nerves. He was a step-in father his whole life for his baby sister; they were doing just fine before Ana started dating this new guy.

He blinked back to reality and shifted his position upward. He hovered over the book, knowing the crick in his neck would form overnight, and tried to indulge himself into the story.

If it's not real you can't hold it in your hand, you can't feel it with your heart, and I won't believe it
Paisley Mallard, Daughter of Philophrosyne

Paisley walked quietly into the library. She wore a blue and white pullover sweater with a pair of white straight legged pants, better known as "skinny jeans". Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, swaying with each step she took. She headed straight toward the fiction section, picking up a book that read The Hunger Games. She opened the book- oh good. Her bookmark was still inside. She preferred to not check out books, she knew she would lose them somehow. She tucked the book under her arm and resided at a table near the couch, where a boy currently sat. What was he reading? Of Mice & Men, she read. "That's a good book, I've read it a few times." Paisley whispered to the boy. She smiled politely and returned to her spot in her book. Oh, Katniss had just gotten transported to the arena. Bloodbath time.
But if it's true you can see it with your eyes, oh even in the dark, and that's where I want to be

cole

Cole practically jumped out of his skin when a girl plopped down beside him. He gave her a good once-over, raising his right eyebrow quizzically. Her dark hair was parted to her left, in a ponytail, and she was wearing a sweater, seemingly too big for her. She didn't have long legs, but they weren't stubby. She was proportional, at the least. He guessed she was up to his shoulders, at three to four inches shorter. She began talking to him about the book in his hands, saying what a "great book it was" and how she's "read it multiple times." That put him off.

He shut her down, looking back at his book, "Thanks for the input, but I didn't ask." he scooted away, forcing himself to read, before adding a snide comment (it was just his nature), "I'd rather gouge out my eyes like Oedipus than read another word." he grimaced, then sneered when he saw the beaten and worn copy of a really poorly written book in her hands, "That book is a rip-off of several books. Collins' half-asses her work. It's written at a fifth-grade reading level." he waited to get a rise out of her, leaning into his palm as he side-glanced at her.

Paisley Mallard, Daughter of Philophrosyne

Paisley sighed. "What is up with all these angsty boys at the library...?" she mumbled to herself. She remembered how to handle it, this time. She simply took a deep breath, and continued to read. She was going to ignore him. Why? She didn't want to deal with anyone's crap today. She had just gotten into an argument with her mother and was in a poor mood as it is. She began to quietly count to ten while she read that more than half of the contestants had been slaughtered in the bloodbath. She tried not to let the boy get to her.

cole

"I can mumble to myself too." he responded under his breath, like a sibling purposely picking a fight. Cole cocked an eyebrow at her, mumbling, "At least I'm honest..." his voice trailed off as he turned the page, but sick of the nonsense, he tossed the classic on the coffee table, scanning the room. He scanned the large room for a section, he liked and before he could stop himself, he wondered aloud: "Do you have any decent book recommendations?" Then he slumped back into the oversized couch, wishing he had a cup of a caffeinated drink right now. He felt like death, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Two seconds later, he wished he didn't say anything. A yawn erupted from the boy and he scooted further from her, "Mm, nevermind. Whatever." He was too exhausted to listen to her and her voice drove him in circles, leaving him more confused than he started. When his eyes began to close, he didn't even try to blink himself awake: he just passed out on the arm rest. Asleep. "'Night, or something."
