Dikran Makre
The Shy-One
Dikran tightly clutched The Odyssey, which he had gotten previously from library as he walked in, and looked around for the front desk, and shortly after, he found it. He slowly approached the desk, and placed the book on the desk, "D-does anyone know where Mr. Everett is?, he asked aloud to anyone was listening, quickly brushing off the book as he picked it back up. Flipping through the pages quickly once more, he had read twice now and had fallen in love with the pages, the fighting, the drama, it was always something he had been obsessed with, he had even bought a replica of Odysseus' sword because of how much he was inspired by it.
He briskly passed several people, running his hand across several books, and stopped at 'The Illiad, and quickly examined it, another one of his favorites, he read it so much, that at one point he could recite almost every word of the first two hundred pages, but he quickly passed it and slid The Odyssey into a slot with no book, "I'll be back eventually my beautiful epic.", he brushed the book as he walked over to another set of books and began looking through them, and let out a sigh soon after, he didn't see anything that appealed to him. |

Dikran Makre
The Shy-One
Dikran nodded his head, I have read many books by William Shakespeare sir., he looked to Mr. Landers in military present style, not giving him a direct answer, "Might I ask your name sir?", he asked as he placed down a book, making it obvious he recognized the man as an elder, "I am just looking for something about Plato, or Socrates, anything older than Shakespeare., he picked up a book, 'The Republic by Plato', "This is a good one., he didn't know if Mr. Landers knew if Dikran was a new student or not, he just went along with his conversation. "If you don't know yet sir, I am Dikran Makre, you can call me Mack if you wish, and I am a new student.", He gives a formal bow, and stands up, staring the teacher in the eyes with his own dark blue eyes. |

Langston had ducked into the empty teacher's lounge for some coffee. It was something he needed at the time--he'd stayed up late the previous night reading--what else?--and risen early to get a head-start on getting the library organized for the incoming students. As he approached the library door he heard the telltale bustle of multiple people inside. He sighed, pushing open the door and entering. Apparently he was going to have to get a more eye-catching sign to announce his absence from the place.
Still, it was nice that there were students using the library this early. Most semesters, it seemed like no one particularly took notice until midterms and paper deadlines were looming over the horizon.
He spotted a familiar face among the crowd: Mr Landers, the school's English teacher, and approached him. "Mr Landers, it's nice to see you here as always,"he said. Being the member of the faculty that probably used the library the most, he was quite fond of the other man. "I must admit though, I wasn't expecting to find you here so early. No class this period?"
He turned to the students surrounding the teacher with his usual warm smile. "Hello there," he said. "I'm Mr Everett, the librarian here. I apologize for my not being here earlier, but as you can see, I was out getting myself a cup of coffee. Do any of you need help finding anything?"
"did you find everything you need?"where::the library
with::a lot more people, all of a sudden
ooc::ack! i went to bed and this thread got busy. sorry for missing y'all earlier!

Dikran Makre
The Shy-One
Dikran quickly gave a shortened bow, M-my name is Dikran sir, I was returning the odyssey three days early. I was just looking for another book.", he raised his library pass, "I am also new here, so it is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Everett.", he extended his hand to shake the teachers, "I hope these next few years with be enjoyable ones with the employ of this building.", he smiled, his hand slightly trembling, almost unnoticeable. "I would enjoy finding the Iliad, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere, would you happen to know of its location?", he inquired, as he placed a book back into its shelf, carefully, as not to ruffle the pages, he turned his gaze back to Mr. Everett. |

Langston smiled, taking Dikran's offered hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Dikran," he said, shaking the boy's hand firmly before releasing it. An obvious book-lover, from the looks of it, as he watched the boy replace a book on the shelf as gently as he himself would have with a warm look of approval. More people needed to treat books as well as Dikran did, he'd always thought. "I assume you left the Odyssey on the front desk? The Iliad is just in the back. Do you enjoy reading the epics? I find them quite lovely, myself."
He turned as another one of the boys nearby spoke up, glancing at the book he held in his hands. Romance, eh? Not a usual choice among most boys, especially those his age. For that reason, Princeton's selection was, in Langston's opinion, regrettably small in comparison to some of the other genres available, but he'd taken care to ensure that each book in there was worth reading. "Of course you may check it out; this is a library after all," he said with a small laugh. "No need to be embarrassed about it, I assure you, I've read every romance novel we have in this room, though I have to admit that's not as many as I'd like. Every book has its own charms," he added, continuing with a gesture at the book the boy was holding, "in fact, that's' one of my personal favorites, so I hope you enjoy it. Now if you'd just follow me to the front desk so we can get you sorted..."
He turned back to Dikran as he began to head towards the front desk. "As I said, the Iliad should be in the back, along with some other epic poems you may want to look at, if you're interested in those. We have ones from all different civilizations and authors, not just Homer. If you'd like, I can take you back there myself if you don't mind waiting just a bit."

Dikran Makre
The Shy-One
A shy grin grew across Dikrans face, "Re-reading might I add sir, and I wouldn't mind waiting at all.", he smiled, as he took a seat at one of the desks taking note on Koyoya taking out a romance novel 'Wonderful taste.', he grinned as he quietly thought to himself, "The Odyssey is on the shelf actually, I put it back when I hadn't found you sir.", he called out to Mr. Everett as he walked away, 'Bah I'm sure he heard me, anyways...', he looked around the large library, his eyes running down each shelf, "So many books...", he quietly whispered to himself, as he sat in awe at all of the books. |

Dikran Makre
The Shy-One
After a few moments of waiting, Dikran decided to browse the books on the shelves, dragging his hand across the books, and finally picked out, 'A Summer Without Dawn', he grinned and walked to the counter, and checked it out, "This will be perfect...", he went to the doors, and decided to head over to the garden for peace and quiet, 'Might as well get some reading done today.', he thought to himself as he examined the book, exiting the library.

xxxxxxxxxx♔ The well rounded artist xx
Fingers danced gracefully against plastic parallelograms, composing a body of text on a screen that shined unnatural light along the caramel landscape that constructed his unique features. Shadows on his face emphasize by his posture, made his demeanor come across as lazy. Translucent discs masked my narrowed fleshy curtains, reflected the contents of his message in minimized distorted sentences. His head bounced gently into the pocket of the music that was being streamed directly into his ears. The simple melodies drowned out the cacophonies of the world around him.“Ughh...” He leaned back into the security of the chair, shifting its structure on the contraptions hind legs. With his arms outstretched above his head, he felt a tingle glide down the length of his lean physique. He shifted his weight forward, placing his feet back on the floor, before striking one final key on the keyboard with a definite decisiveness. “Finished!” He exhaled his exasperation, though he seemed pleased with the finished product at hand.
He'd constructed the perfect break up email. Relationships were fleeting matters. Temporary distractions used to pass the time. His latest fling was a man he'd met in his travels. A clingy little b*****d who'd he'd planned to break it off with before his returned to school, but things had become complicated. Rich boys always felt the need to be in control over every aspect of their own lives and the people around them. They'd gone on several dates, and he treated Takalyun as if he were a possession. Most of these so called dates took place in the company of his friends (people of the same social status). He'd even tried to persuade him to attended the academy that he was attending. A ploy to keep him under his scrutiny, all the while making Takalyun dependent, which was not going to happen. Though this was not the most optimal of ways to end a relationship. Due to his current circumstance, after changing his number, and blocking him on all forms of social media, it was his only option (email him from a temporary account and use one of the school computers, so as not reveal his own IP address).
The sound of his chair scraping against the linoleum floor, was indication to the completion of his task. He stood erect, a couple of inches under six foot. Chocolate tresses, with waves that mimicked the movement of the seven seas, fell in layers, the longer resting just below his shoulder blades. His attired worked to mask the feminine curves that constructed the terrain that was his sleek form. He reach down to retrieve his back-pack, slipping his arms within the space between the loosened straps, and pulled it into a position were it fell against the sway of his lower back. “My last year...has the potential to be the best so far.” His strides carried him away from the identical cubicles that housed the schools desktops and into the heart of the library, where most of the bodies were congregating. He made his way to the doors without drawing any attention to himself and slipped out into the hallway.
♕Location& Company: Library --- > hallway with no one. ♔Thoughts: What can I get into. ooc: outfit - A white tank, a red blazer, light blue distressed jeans, and red high tops |

"Oh, I assure you Ace," Langston said with a teasing laugh, "that coffee was entirely needed. I'm afraid I stayed up much too late finishing that series you recommended. So in a way, it's your fault I had to leave the library in the first place."
As he led the other boy towards the front desk to check out his book, Langston raised a hand in acknowledgment towards Dikran to let him know he'd heard the boy. He'd just have to go into the system and note that the book had already been checked back in, that was all. He picked up the library scanner and turned to the boy, scanning the barcode on the back of the book so that it could be checked out. "Now then, I just need your name so I can have a record of who's checked out what," he told the boy, smiling, then added, "by the way, if you have any books you'd like to see added to our collection, please do let me know--it's nice having an idea of what students would enjoy when I go out looking for new additions."
