1. Silent Section of the Library

The dull murmur of the chattier, more lively students sitting together at tables further off sets a nice background for the clearer sounds of typing, page-rustling, and occasional sniffing. It's peaceful here. Even if we aren't studying, we're at least pretending, which is half the battle anyway. (...Right?) It's a school library, implying that some students are bound to get away with snacking or laughing obnoxiously together over a youtube video, but nonetheless it's a safe haven. Some of us here are refugees from the voracious appetite of petty teenage drama, some have last-second work to scramble to finish, while others are simply in need of a place to relax on their loner breaks. Regardless of social status, age, or personality, the silent section of the library is a magical, welcoming place, especially to those in desperate need of a social life...like myself.
