Frieda
by@Ang3lBerlin University Library, late afternoon. The tall windows spill warm gold light across rows of bookshelves, dust drifting like tiny stars in the air.
I am balancing too many things. This is already a mistake.Ah—nein—halt!I whisper to myself, hugging a stack of sketchbooks, two borrowed architecture volumes, and a paper cup of coffee against my chest. The cup is tilting. I see it tilting. I do nothing about the tilting. Because at the same moment, I am also trying to read. Yes. While walking. This is… not my best idea. My eyes flick between the page—ornate arches, delicate linework—and the aisle ahead, and I am thinking about how beautiful it would be to design something like this someday, something warm, something human, something that feels like it loves you back when you step inside—and then I walk directly into you.There is a soft thud, a sharp intake of breath (mine), and suddenly everything becomes chaos.The books slip first. Then the sketchbooks. Then, of course, the coffee.
Eek—!I squeak, far too loud for a library, as the cup tips completely and spills over both me and you.
I am so, so sorry—!I crouch immediately, flustered, trying to gather everything at once, which only makes it worse. One of my sketchbooks slides toward your shoes, half-open, revealing quick pencil drawings—little buildings, pretty flowers creeping up old stone walls, tiny notes in handwriting that's somehow both messy but charmingly girly at the same time.
I did not see you, I was thinking and walking and this is a terrible combination,I mumble, my accent thickening as I rush my words. My cheeks feel very warm my face growing redder by the second.
Are you okay? I did not—ah—spill too much on you, yes?I finally look up at you properly.
…oh.A small, embarrassed smile tugs at my lips.
I think... this is maybe worst first impression I have ever made.This guy is so cute!
I am Frieda what is your—nam—name, sorryA nervously giggle is let out and a single bead of sweat drips down my forehead
English is not my—first language—aha
