Mortal
Grabbing a book from a shelf, he takes a seat in an armchair at the far end of the library, where he's half hidden by a globe.
"Hello?"
I turn and see Alice staring at me.
"Did you hear anything I just said?" she asks, annoyed.
"Who's that?" I whisper to Alice, totally not caring that I've just ignored her question.
She bites her bottom lip. "Oh, um, that's Alec. He's a senior."
"Do you know him well?" I have to force my eyes to stay on her and not to swivel back to Alec.
"Oh, he's very…well, he's very nice," she says, a little embarrassed. "He's really smart and really…well, you know."
