Johnson has a crush on the new trainee librarian. Her start to the position has been more than a little bumpy given that she didn’t spend much time in the library during her school days. She struggles with the system of where to put the books back on the shelf and regularly gets it wrong. Johnson watches as she places a book back on the shelf but even he can see that a biography doesn’t go in the fiction section. He walks over and takes it off the shelf and, summonses the courage to speak to her for the first time, approaches her with the book. “Hi Miss… I noticed you placed this in the fiction section but it really should be in biographies.” he says with a smile. “Would you like me to show you where it goes?”“Oh god…” she says blushing “that would be so helpful. I can never work it out and I’ve been getting so much pressure from the head librarian.” She whispers “she can be a total bitch…”Johnson nods and gives her a reassuring smile “That’s not new news to me!” and she giggles. “Let me show you the biography section” he says mimicking the head librarian. At the same time the deputy head Mistress walked in and eyed both of them suspiciously. “What is going on here?” She snapped and frowned. They both stare in silence for an awkward few seconds then the trainee librarian replies “Oh… I… ahhh… I caught this student moving books into the wrong shelf location Miss.” she looks at Johnson nervously “he was putting this biography away in the fiction section”Johnson stood speechless. “Yes Johnson can be a trouble maker. Come with me and I’ll show you how we deal with troublemakers like him.” “Wait for me outside my office Johnson and ask my secretary to get out the punishment register. We will be along shortly”Johnson turned slowly and walked towards her office listening to their conversation trail off. “Seems like you’re fitting in nicely Amanda. You did the right thing. Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.” They both giggled. -- source link
