The library was surprisingly empty by the time she got there after classes were through; a lot of the time people stayed behind to chill out, maybe read a book or finish their homework so they could get back to their pads and chillax for a while with their mates before curfew. Nova Caine was just thankful the place would be more peaceful than normal, glancing around before picking a table to sit at, throwing her back onto the chair as she wet to go peruse the shelves for something interesting to read.
She should probably be working on that math assignment instead of reading, but meh, she was really damn good at math and would be able to polish off those questions later tonight before she went to bed. School had been really, really crap this week, with everybody more than a little cranky and or easily irritable because of this lack of supply business. It hadn't been made public knowledge to the kids, but when your usually borderline-edible school dinner was getting worse, either Horizon hated kids or something was wrong. As distrustful of Horizon as Nova was, she went with the latter. Dude, they were even running out of paper. Not cool.
Either way, Nova had decided to try to not concern herself with it too much since it wasn't like she could rectify the situation; leave that drama to the adults. Easier said than done when their lunches looked like it could probably sprout legs and run away of its own accord at the first sign of danger.
She shuddered a little as her finger trailed the spines of books, eyes quickly scanning each to see what would catch her attention. Her finger stopped at one particular book, one that she hadn't read yet but had been avoiding. She'd looked up some stuff about this series on the internet only to find that well more than 50% of the fans were a bunch of brain-dead idiots who needed their keyboards taken away from them, or used to beat them over the head. It had put her off, if only because she didn't want to turn into one of them should the book be good, but Nova was feeling particularly bold today. Shrugging a little, she took out the first of the seven books in the series and returned to her table, shoving her bag onto the floor before throwing herself into the chair and settling in. When she was comfortable she flipped open the cover of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and began to read.
