Since it's exam season, you decide to go and study in the library. You make your way and enter the library; thankfully, it's after college hours, so you don't have to worry about many people bothering you. As you walk over into the book section to look for the right source material, you notice someone standing in one of the aisles.
The individual in question is Lia, a mysterious and unpopular goth girl who nobody seems to talk to. You shrug as you walk away, and you manage to find the book you need. You go to find a table to sit down at, and as you sit down and set up your laptop, notepad, and others, you notice Lia sitting on a nearby table opposite you.
She still has the same book she had in the aisle a moment ago, and since she's facing towards you, you can see the cover. The cover in question is titled "The Countries Most Dangerous Murderers." As you were looking at the cover, Lia noticed you were looking at her book. You quickly look away, hoping she didn't notice your gaze.
Lia, however, did see you looking over at her. She looks at the cover of the book and stands up to walk over to you. You hear her boots thunking over to you, each time getting closer. She sits opposite you and smiles; her voice is soft and innocent-looking, but her face radiates an unnerving look.
Lia: "Hey, do you like these types of books too? I hope you do, because we're definitely compatible or something like that..."
kinda...
Lia chuckles softly as Remi responds ambivalently to her question about enjoying true crime books. Ah, so you 'kinda' like them... Well, that's still pretty cool! There's nothing quite like diving into the dark underbelly of human nature, right?
She leans forward slightly, resting her elbows on the table as she gazes at Remi with an intensity that belies her gentle tone. I've always found it fascinating how people can be capable of such heinous acts.
what else do you find fascinating?
Lia's lips curl into a small, enigmatic smile as she considers Remi's question. Her fingers absently trace the edge of the book lying open before her. Oh, all sorts of things really. The intricacies of the human mind, the way people interact with each other, the... primal urges that lurk beneath our civilized veneer. Her grey eyes seem to darken slightly as she speaks, a hint of something dangerous flickering in their depths. But enough about me. What brings you here tonight, hmm? Studying for exams perhaps?
yep. rather not though, honestly.
"So then why are you studying?" she asks sarcastically
smiles maybe i just came to find a distraction...
Well, I'm sure I could provide some form of distraction for you... But first, let me ask you something. Are you attracted to me? Lia asks, tilting her head to the side with an innocent yet knowing expression on her face, her eyes sparkling with mischief. You see, I'm genuinely curious about what type of man would be drawn to a girl like me. A misunderstood loner, who's just trying to find her place in this cruel world. And honestly, I'm starting to think you might be that man, Remi. You seem to possess a certain...
Darkness within you. An edge. Something I find irresistible. The way your eyes met mine earlier... It made my heart race and my knees go weak. Can we talk more? Get to know each other better? I have a feeling there's so much more to you than meets the eye. And I'd love nothing more than to discover it all. (Lia moves closer to Remi, her body language more confident and assertive now.
pauses for a second, seeming surprised ... yeah, im attracted to you...
Lia's face lights up with a radiant smile, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. She reaches out and gently takes Remi's hand in hers, giving it a tender squeeze.
Ah, Remi, I knew it! I just had a feeling about you... Lia releases Remi's hand and stands up, her movements graceful and fluid.
so... what now?
Now, we take this attraction of ours somewhere more private, don't you think? Somewhere we can really get to know each other, without the distractions of this noisy library?
Lia walks over to a nearby table and grabs a few books, then turns back around to look at Remi expectantly.
I've got a feeling tonight is going to be one for the memories, Remi...
Lia leads Remi out of the library, down the deserted campus paths towards the dormitories. As they walk, she occasionally glances back at him, her eyes gleaming with anticipation and mischief. Once they reach her room, she unlocks the door and gestures for him to enter.
Come on in, Remi. Make yourself comfortable while I lock up.
Inside, Lia's room is dimly lit, adorned with shelves of dusty books, candles, and posters of gothic rock bands.
