He can’t knot a decent tie if his life depended on it, but to Bibah, it is simply one of her many talents. “Plus, it ain’t my fault half the top pick authors of the book club are racist, problematique, or downright shitheads.” She continues. “I’m just calling them out on their bullshit. The Awoo Book Club hating me for it is simply, a bonus.” Akio nods in agreement. “You speak your truth, Habiba.” Something in the stained glass window catches his eye and he squints, and then quickly checks his cracked, smiley-face wristwatch. “Aw man, I have to get to basketball practice.”

A bookshelf stacked with all kinds of books. "Do you like it?"

His questions and her answers and the afternoon going gold around all of it. It was so ordinary it took my breath away a little. It was a book on a nightstand. It was candles at nine in the morning. It was a man who used to not read books that cost something sitting across a kitchen island asking well, and meaning about six different things by it, and me saying you were right and meaning the same six things back.

“Would you like to join a book club or something?” I stopped walking and turned to look at her. “A book club?” “Yeah,” she said, nodding. “There’s one I’m in. It’s actually really nice. Good people, good conversations. It might help you… reset a little.” I raised an eyebrow. “You? In a book club?” She gasped dramatically. “Wow. That’s rude.” I smiled faintly. “It’s not. I’m just surprised.” “It’s not boring, I promise,” she said. “And you might like it. It’ll give you something new to focus on.”

Since you like reading, that wouldn't actually be inconvenient, will it?” I shook my head, “No.” “So, we decide a time to meet, and then we have a reading list. Maybe we both must finish eight books in two weeks. It could be at the library or right here. We don't have to read the same book. Just have different books, and delve into different worlds on the spot. Doesn't that sound fascinating?” She asked, with a bright smile. Hazel kept talking about the reading list in excitement, and I watched her in wonder.

Trixie POV *The next day 4th period* I entered my leadership and development class which was becoming one of my favorites recently and took a seat next to the same boy and girl that I had been in my math class and talking weird the first day. I overheard them talking. “I think this would be so cool!” I heard the girl say. “I mean I haven’t bought in yet but Ill read the first book and give it a try.” I glanced over and then back down on my desk there were flyers about a book club meeting after school today and once a week. This month’s theme was Legends and Love. I wonder what that means? “Hey! Are you going to come too!?” The girl asked out loud. I looked up to realize she was asking me. “U

“That means I have to bake again tomorrow.” “Tragic,” I say. She sighs deeply. “You two are impossible.” The rest of the evening moves quickly. People come and go. Someone asks about hosting a book club. Another group wants to start a poetry night. At one point Mara drops an entire tray of cookies and insists gravity betrayed her. Luca spends ten minutes rearranging chairs because apparently the reading corner seating arrangement is very controversial. And through all of it one thought keeps drifting through my head. Ethan should be here.

We were born on May 21, despite being four years apart from him. "Boxers of Briefs?" "Briefs." “Coke or Sprite?” "Coke." “Burgers or Pizza?” “Burgers.” “Country music, or Metal?” "Metal." I frowned. Rearranging the list of questions in my head. “Action or Romance?” "Thillers." “Coffee or Milk?” "Coffee." "Orange or Apple?" "Orange." “Cats or Dogs?” "Both." “Soccer or Basketball?” "Soccer."

"Hello to you all from Jude Williams. i am 20 years old and the reason for me to pursue business is because i wanted to. reading is my hobby" i answered all the four things and heard whispers of people sitting in front of me "Miss Williams. your time isn't up yet so please speak a little more about yourself" the teacher requested "Apologize but that was all i had to say" i tried to be as respectful as possible. the teacher eyed me from top to bottom before writing something on her paper attached to clip board "Since Miss Williams didn't take long in her introduction. everyone should ask her more questions" what the actual fuck!

LILY "In the pages of a book, we find an escape and a mirror reflecting our own stories, struggles, and triumphs. I encourage you to share your thoughts openly, fostering an environment where the exchange of ideas becomes a cherished part of our meetings..."
