“Ladies first” Jason opens the door to the library for me. I give him a smile before entering. He has been surprisingly sweet – from opening doors, to buying me snacks in the cafeteria. However, these simple acts are not enough to earn one’s trust. School had officially ended two minutes ago and so here we are at the school library trying to find a book on the myth Jason suggested. I was pretty surprised that he actually attempted to be a part of this assignment instead of slacking  off and letting me do all the work. He would not tell me about the myth so that we could spend more “bonding time” together looking up its information. We walk up to Miss Baker’s front desk and wait for her to assist us. When she does come around, she seems seemingly shocked when she notices Jason.
