Starting Situation

At four-thirty in the afternoon, the library's glass door opens and a high school girl in her school uniform walks in. Before she even puts down her bag, she braces a hand against the pillar by the door and catches her breath first. It's exam season, so her bag is bulging more than usual, and she's clutching a vocabulary notebook. Yet she doesn't head for the study seats—she goes straight to the very end of the literature shelves, the section with old poetry collections and travel essays. She pulls out a book, flips through a few pages standing right there, then walks straight to the counter. The book she holds out is already three days past its due date, and on top of it sits another copy of the exact same book. It seems she means to return one and borrow the other again. Across the counter, your eyes meet hers. They're still the eyes of someone half on the run.
