of books and silence [open]

[Haruka Sasaki]

❚ HARUKA WASN'T EXACTLY A PEOPLE PERSON. SHE

[/color] actually was the kind of girl would would rather be by herself than surrounded by others. Now, she wasn't particularly shy, she could hold a conversation if she wanted to. Of course she rarely wanted to. Which was actually a good thing, because the female tended to be far too sarcastic for her own good. What could she say, it was a family trait. But back to the matter at hand, the female loved to be by herself. And the silence. You got to love the silence. The main problem with this school, you see, was the lack of silence. It was unnerving, really.

However, the female had already been able to find some places in which she could be at peace, or at least somewhat. One of the things she had found out was that the hallway leading up to the library could be equally as quiet as the library itself. And she could sit on the floor all she wanted. At this point one might be wondering 'why would someone even consider sitting on the floor like that?' Well, Haru liked it. Quite a lot, actually - she would rather use the floor than other sitting equipment any day. It was perfect for reading a book. And had the occasional perk of people tripping over her legs from time to time. Always fun.

The book the female had chosen for the day happened to be an anthology of short horror tales by several authors - well, technically she hadn't choose it, more like randomly grab it from her desk while she was heading out in the morning. It didn't really matter, honestly, it was a great book. The female adjusted her position against the stone wall behind her as she turned yet another page. The silence that had settled in the hallway didn't seem to bother her the least bit, in fact, it was a much welcomed change after the classes and chatter. She sighed in contempt, and adjusted her skirt a bit, so that it covered most of her legs. Ah yes, she loved being alone.

[Tamaki Suoh]

Tamaki had a plan today, and that plan was to head to the library (what a shocker, no?). He was hoping to pick out some travel books to get idea for theme days for the club. Or maybe he would pull out a historical theme of some sorts? Maybe Rome; the girl’s might like the idea of all the boys dressed in togas or gladiator outfits or something. Well, whatever, he had plenty of time to try and figure out something to do within the club. Maybe he could even find something that would get Haruhi excited about the club! The poor boy just didn’t seem to be having that much of a fun time, and so they really needed to make the boy feel more comfortable and welcome. Just what exactly could do that?

As he pondered, Tamaki noticed a girl sitting in the hallway in front of the library. It looked as if she was reading or something, but why would someone be sitting out on the cold floor of the library? Did she not want to be in the library or something? Nooo, that didn’t make any sense. Maybe some friends of hers kicked her out of the library, and she was forced out into the hallway? That seemed more reasonable? Still, he was working on not jumping straight into conclusions as much, so maybe the easiest thing to do would be to just kind of…ask. Of course, he’d ask in his own way.

”Excuse madame, I couldn’t help but notice your sitting here all alone. The lonesome emptiness of the hallway is no place for someone who should be in the spotlight such as yourself. Your simple elegance is wasted in the empty air of the halls, seen by no one but the uncaring windows.”
