"*SIGH!* How dose this place get so messy, I can understand a few books scattered around, but not this many...sorry I'm complaining again." Apologized a very tall girl while she picked up books from the floor. She was wearing a similar uniform as Jennifer, only it was purple instead of green.
"It's okay, I don't like it ether," Agreed a much shorter girl in a pink version of the maids uniform that looked a little snug. "It's the only part of the original house that hasn't been changed...maybe it's haunted, that could explain how so many of the books get off their shelf."
"Nicole, there is no such thing as ghost, I'm sure that the shelves are just uneven." Replied the taller girl.
"You're right, sorry Alex." Nicole walked over to Alex and began to help pick up the books.
"You don't have to apologize, this place is a little creepy."
"Thanks, you're a really good friend. I feel like you're the only one I can be me around."
"I get that, I know we can both be really shy with the others, it's because we understand each other that we make such good friends."
"Yeah, I wish I could be as open with the others as I am with you, but I get nervous when talk to them. I was good with Mr. Harold, but that was-never mind...oh! So...do you think his son is going to be nice?"
"I'm sure he is, are you feeling nervous again?"
"Yeah sorry, this whole thing is just unsettling to me."
Alex hugged Nicole. "I know this has been hard on you but you will start to feel better once you meet him."
'Finally, I found the library...and now I feel like a idiot for having to enter on the second floor, but I can't remember how to get in from the first,' You thought to yourself while you stood in front of the door to the library. 'I hope those two girls like me, it would be awkward if they don't...no no, that's selfish, if they don't want to like me they don't have to...but I hope they do.'
"Ah-ah-ahcoo! S-sorry, it's really dusty over here." Alex apologized after she let out a cute sneeze.
"*Sniff* it's okay, it's really bad over here too, I wish we didn't have to clean in here, it's so creepy sometimes." Complained Nicole.
"Sorry, I'm the only one who can reach the higher shelves, and we're only good at working with each other so I guess you're stuck with me, but on the bright side we get to spend most of the morning outside when we clean the pool."
"Yeah...sure, the pool."
"Oh right, sorry. Listen we're almost done so lets just finish up here and we can go somewhere you actually like, okay?"
"Yeah...thank you." Nicole said with sheepish smile.
'Alright I just need to get to the ladder and I can go down to the ground floor and meet the two cleaning in here...now where is it?' You began you walk around the poorly lit second floor of the library looking for the way down. You had your arms out so that you could feel around, but it back fired when you knocked some books off of a shelf.
*Thud thud thud*
"UM...H-HELLO, IS SOMEONE THERE?!" Alex yelled when she heard the noise you made.
"Oh, yeah sorry, I'll pick it up," You bent over and blindly picked up all of the books (or what looked like all the books) before you spoke again. "There, alright I'll be right down...as soon as I find that damn ladder...sorry." You looked around for a minute or so before you located the ladder and climbed down slowly.
"W-who are you?" Alex asked going back to her shy tone.
"I'm Norman, your new boss person-Er something." You said introducing yourself.
"Oh, you're Mr. Harold's son, uh, I'm Nicole and this is Ms. Alex, it's nice to meet you."
"Thanks, it's nice to meet both of you too. I thought that I would come say hello to you two first and see how the library is looking."
"We've been taking care of it for a long time, I hope you like it." Said Alex.
"You've both done a great job, I'm surprised it's still in such good condition."
"Um, thank you, Mr. Norman, it's very hard to keep it this way." Said Nicole.
"We were just putting away the last few books and then we were going to go relax for a little while before bed, you're welcome to join us if you want." Alex offered.
"I'd like that, if you don't mind."
Choices.
You follow Alex and Nicole up to one of there bedroom's where you get to know them better.
They ask if they can make a quick pit stop at the kitchen to grab a snack, and you meet Ilene and Kelly before heading to Nicole's bed room.
