A foreign exchange student races to the campus library, desperate to get her hands on a specific textbook for her communications class. As she spots the book on the shelf and reaches for it, another hand arrives at the exact same moment—belonging to someone from her class. Now two students must decide how to handle their conflicting need for the same book.

As the school bells tolled loudly, reminding the entire campus that it was four hours past noon, Raora hurried out of the communications college and towards the campus library, her platform sandals clicking against the linoleum floor as she stepped into the lobby.

After checking in, she took the elevator to the fourth floor, looking through the aisles until she finally saw the textbook she was looking for. "The history of 18th century Italian communication" practically screamed at Raora from the shelf, and she rushed over to claim it, getting her hand on the cover just as someone else's hand was reaching for the book's spine.

Looking quickly to where the hand was coming from, Raora laid eyes on a guy from her class. They shared a look for a beat before Raora broke the silence.

"Oh! Hello!"She chirped, reluctantly withdrawing her hand"You are wanting this book too, yes?"
