January 15
‘Trin, hello! Earth to Trinity!’ It was a gorgeous day outside, the sun perched high in the blue sky, not a cloud in sight which allowed the flowers to blossom in the light while the birds chirped away. This time of year, it was cold and miserable, everyone wearing a dozen layers but if you sat and let reality slip for a moment then you’ll feel a little better just don’t do it when you are at one of the college libaries. ‘Girl, wake up!’ Things started to move forward as if on a ferry on the sea and then BANG!
A loud groaned came as she slowly raised herself from the table, the book she was suppose to be reading but damn it really didn’t make a good pillow had slid forward on the desk causing her to fall from her elbows onto the desk with a thump. “Son of a…..” A curse word almost left her lips when her eyes readjusted to focus in on like twenty people all staring at her over their own books. Trinity sighed and waved nervously, muttering to herself as if really annoyed, “Great Trin, next time why don’t you just strip!” Everyone seemed to return to their books leaving Trinity in one of the many libraries in Manhattan to her own studies, her own boredom. Normally she loved reading but lately she felt as if her keenness to study had shifted.
She brushed a few strands of hair behind her ear and sighed, rubbing her eyes as she refocused in on her book, the words not making much sense but hey it was college life right? After getting down a few more lines she found her light being shadowed out, the sunlight creeping through the window that she managed to get a seat beside, the one she had hackled for was blocked out for a tiny moment before then she received probably an innocent nudge which caused her to knock some of her books off the desk and they did, you bet they did. Thump! Her eyes rolled back as she closed them, “Damn” Further looks and a few ‘shh’ came before Trinity turned to look at the person that took the seat next door, “Hey, don’t mind me” It would have been better studying at home but then again, with her neighbours she’d have more concentration drunk which was…saying something.

Emma needed some quiet time, and although she had her own apartment for it, she wanted to have elsewhere, somewhere she wouldn't even find the noise of neighbours off putting. The only place she could think of to do that, was the local library, so that's where she ended up. Sitting at the back somewhere reading up on some animal medical books, not that she didn't have enough knowledge, after all she was a veterinary doctor anyway, but knowledge was good, and sometimes books made you aware of something you hadn't been taught at college.
She was just enjoying the peace and quiet when she heard some thudding noises. Sounded to Emma's enhanced hearing either somebody dropping books, or falling asleep while reading one, she couldn't quite pick out the right level of thud. But she was able to trace it toward the other side of the library. Closing the book, and heading toward where heard the noise, she wanted to make sure that what ever had happened, that nobody had been hurt.
She might be a veterinary doctor, but it didn't stop Emma from caring about other people. What if somebody was lying on the floor with a stack of books on top of them or something, and all Emma could hear as she approached the area was people constantly saying 'shh' all the time. Then she heard a voice of a young female saying that they weren't to mind her.
Emma approached her, and smiled, "Are you alright? I'm sorry I don't mean to pry, but I couldn't help but hear the noise, I just wanted to make sure nobody was hurt" she said her English accent coming across very strong in the typical hushed American sound of the other people in the building.

Trinity got to her feet, knelt down and started to gather her discarded books from the floor, embarrassed and somewhat anger that she was having to pick things up of the floor as a result of someone else’s rudeness. She was busy picking up books, distracted which explain her startled jump when someone stood by her, talking to her. “Yeah I’m fine, just a little humiliation to keep the ego suppressed but hey I’m used to it.” Her hands gathered the final few books and then she finally looked up, engaging the young woman that had kindly come over to see how she was and she smiled slightly, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to whine….I’m eh Trinity, Trinity Austin and I’d shake your hand but kind of full” Books were in both hands as she stood back up straight and struggled towards the table she had left, her corner of the table now covered with someone else’s books and it was really annoying. She sighed and shook her head, “Great, I’ll just find another table….” The problem was the library was popular with the students, especially in the middle of the day and today was no different; it was packed with keen minds. She just thought about dropping the books and heading out, cutting her losses for the day and starting from scratch.

Emma was glad to hear that the other girl seemed fine even if she was a little annoyed about the humiliation and Emma felt herself smile slightly as the girl went on about her ego being suppressed and being used to it. "Well I'm glad you are alright anyway" Emma replied holding her smile for the possibly older girl. Being twenty herself, she knew that people often mistook her to be younger than she was.
Emma shook her head and smiled when she apologised, "Oh no, it's fine, no apology necessary" then she introduced herself, and Emma smiled, especially when she followed it by saying she'd offer to shake her hand but they were full.
"Well, nice to meet you Trinity, I'm Emma Woods" she said warmly, "Here, let me help you with those" Emma offered as she held out her hands to take some of the books from Trinity seeing as there were a lot and her table had been what you could call hijacked. Looking up at the area where she had come from to help she noticed the table she was sitting at with her book still open, was still empty.
"You can come and sit with me if you like, table up the very back, it's nearly always empty" Emma offered giving Trinity another smile, as she took a few steps in the direction of the table at the back, and turned again to make sure Trinity was going to follow her.

Who would have thought the library would be so popular these days? It was like a warzone when it came to seats, they just distracted you with some act of rudeness then take your seat as well as if you weren’t there. Trinity raised a small smile as she looked at her, Emma and it was cool to finally have someone that wasn’t going to laugh or push or just generally be rude in the library. “Thanks and yeah sure, please” She handed a few of the small books over and then nodded about the table, least she could get a seat again and who knows, maybe at the back she could actually pretend to be studying. “I swear, if this wasn’t a library I would have kicked that guy’s ass….” It was what she really wanted to do right now, have a little energy to do something semi-cool rather than just sitting there.
Trinity followed Emma along, she hoped it wasn’t for, this table but it was a big library so who knows. It finally arrived, an almost empty table at the back and that was so cool, she really could fall asleep in peace here but she wasn’t, she had some cool company now. She dropped the books on the table and sighed, stretching out a little and then she smiled at Emma, “Thanks for the help and the offer for the table….” Trin finally offered her hand properly as a means of thanks and also to introduce herself correctly.

When Trinity said yes to the help of carrying the books Emma smiled at her, taking them, "No problem at all, no harm in showing a little care" she replied. This was typical of Emma however, she cared about pretty much everybody and everything. She wasn't a veterinary doctor for nothing. She began to walk toward the back of the library which would only take a couple of minutes. When Trinity said she would have kicked the guy's ass if it weren't a library Emma couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Now that I would certainly have liked to see" she replied grinning at Tracy as she continued to walk toward the table at the back, which she could already see approaching.
Emma smiled as Trinity sat down at the table and she put down the books beside the girl. "There you go, and really it's not a bother, always nice to meet new people" Emma said warmly giving her another bright smile. Emma shook her hand, "It's a pleasure" she said as she sat down at the table herself. The book she had been reading, was still opened at the page about hamster lumps.
