Hidden Collections 2

Tricia walks into the recreation center thinking maybe Xavier was annoyed with her for not showing up for a long time now and not sending him a reply. She made up her mind to explain to him when she meets him. Finally stopping in front of the passage that read Aquarium in block black letters, she turns the handle of the huge door and steps inside.

Looking around the bustle of students inside, she tries locating xavier but can't. She steps away from the door and walks further into the room stretching her sight everywhere.She notices a guy at one end of the room with black hair, putting on a black jacket and a red Headset that hung casually on his neck. Recalling Xavier wearing that in the morning, she grips her bag and matches towards him hoping he wouldn't stay annoyed with her for long.

On getting closer, she notices him taking pictures of the sea creatures at different angles and noting things down in a writing pad. Because the guy had his back to her, she didn't notice the difference in his appearance. Reaching where he stood, she sighs and slowly steps besides him.

"xav, am reall_,!"

she pauses when the guy turns around hearing someone e speak to him.

"w_hat!, you are not Xavier!"

She frowns and twist her lips in disbelieve.

"Sorry!" She mutters and turns away looking around the large room.

"Where was Xavier then?".

She pulls out her mobile and is about trying his line again when someone suddenly stops besides her.

"Sorry_, are you miss Tricia?"

She looks at gm confusion etched on her face.

"yes!" she finally replies and paused her lips.

The guy smiles faintly on seeing her expression then dips his hand in his pocket and pulls out a piece of paper from his paper then stretches it to her.Tricia reluctantly takes the folded paper from his hand and opens it to find.

"Am sorry, my battery us down and gave left the building already. Am capturing some things for my new game project, you will find me at the Green park if you hurry."

"Green park huh!"

She murmurs after reading the note."What is there to be captured in the Green park?"

She looks up at the guy who had been quietly watching her read the note.

"When did he leave?"

She questions her gaze not leaving His face as she trued to catch on to any lie he will want to utter. Surely, the writing did look like Xavier's and he had been seriously walking on his new game which he said was going to be a blast and she had been assisting in what little way she could, unlike the lazy xanier. But then, why would GE leave her a note with some stranger, that wasn't Xavier's way of doing things. Although the guy did look some how familiar but she couldn't place where she had seen him. Also, his lines were all unreachable Mali g her want to believe the note. yet, that feeling if unease was still clutching in her heart.

She gave one last look to the guy who was still waiting in front of her then turns back to glance at the guy whom she had mistook as Xavier earlier but finds that he had moved to another stand still featuring the creatures. She mutters "thanks" to the guy in front of her and folds the paper in her hand before walking out of there. As the guy watched the lady walk away looking slick and beautiful, his lips curl IP and a smirk forms on it.

As Ellen saw the red haired guy who's name he just discovered was Johya approach the row he was hiding in, he immediately turns around and makes to skip to the next row when his foot hits on another book lying on the floor causing it to fly another the shelf and out Of the way.

"Damned book!"

He curses as his foot aches but he ignores it and leaps away from there. Johya stops in front of the shelf and looks at the fallen books that were lying g on the floor, he scans the place but sees nothing out of place. He looks back at the shelf where the books supposedly fell from and raises his hand towards the books on the floor and whispers some for a purple light to glow out of his hand and stretch towards the books on the floor before directing it at the shelf and the books raise themselves in the air and move towards the shelf settling on it without stress. When the last sat itself on the shelf, he dust hands then breathes in before walking out of there back to the man.

Ellen who had crouching or rather hiding behind another shelf widens his mouth in shock and disbelieve at what just transpired before him.

"Did he just see the guy use magic to arrange the books?"

He thought to himself. That explains why the shelves were so high and up in the air. What normal librarian would climb ladders to reach such long shelves without Turing themselves out.

He stays numb for some seconds before blinking his eyes as he recalls he had kicked one of the books under the shelf he was now hiding behind. Bending lower, he peers under the shelf and low and behold, the book was lying there. Deciding to leave the book there considering the red haired guy or any other person could find it without stress as he wouldn't want the books falling out again in his attempt to put another one in. He begins yo pull his face out when he did overs little red sparks of light emitting from the book. Curious, he drags the book out from under the shelf and runs his hand on the cover.

It loner like the magic had reached the book but not enough to propel it towards the shelf and instead triggered whatever spell that had been placed on it. He looks at the title that was written in some foreign language and flips through the pages to see the same Language on the rest of the pages. He closes his eyes and his mind begins to calculate as he wanted yo know what was written in the book.

As if something clicked in his brain, he looks about the library his mind running wild.

Could it be that all the books here were kind of special?"

That could only explain why they were hidden in a different room.

That means, he could as well find some information about the latest development that went on in his body.

He glances at the books again.

"How would he find the right book that contained what he needed?" He pondered seriously then concluded.

"He would have to make do with this first, the others would come later"

With that, he opens his backpack and stuffs the book inside before standing to his feet and sneaking back to where the two men were.
