Laura yawned and looked up at the clock; only six more hours until closing time. It wasn't that she didn't like working in the library, in fact, she didn't really know what it was. She just felt like today wasn't going to go well. Like something bad was going to happen. But she decided to put that to the back of her mind, there is such a thing as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Laura hummed to herself and she walked through the rows, checking everything was in place. Fiction - G, H... she pushed a trolley filled with recently returned books. She stopped and picked one up, putting it into the right spot. The job seemed dull, but normally the days went by quickly, and it wasn't difficult. She also loved books, it was an obviously easy choice.
She glanced at the clock once more, he was late for work, again. Laura sighed heavily, pushing the trolley to the end of the row and going back to her desk. There was only one person in the library, but it was still early. Normally she saw about thirty people a day, in and out. She checked the book logs on the computer, sometimes she'd look through the people and the books they would take out, figure out their stories. Just a game she played to pass the time.
Laura yawned.

Bump 
Been really busy recently. I'm lagging on all of my current stuff because of exams in school. I do want to get the IC up soon if people are still in.
What is happening IC? I feel like I'm really out of the loop, anything going on I can insert myself into? 
Agnes had heard the announcement. She had spent a lot of time going over ever possible scenario in her head, if she were to go. What if someone tried to speak to her? She didn't even want to be in a club, not if it meant she had to be around people. But there could be something quiet, where she could do stuff. And mother would be proud, she probably wouldn't lecture for weeks. Maybe. Yes. Okay.
Agnes left the room, closing the door behind her and slipping the key into her bag. She walked quickly to the hall, but hesitated before entering. She could hear the rumble of voices, how many people could be in there? It was a scary prospect. She swallowed hard and entered, promising herself she'd be brave.
There were different stands for different clubs. She studied them all but couldn't bring herself to move from her spot. Brave. She had to be brave here. Art club. She liked art. She could do art.
She slowly approached the stand where there was a club representative. Okay, it wasn't that difficult. She had all the words in her head. She could just say it. Ask about the club. Be charming. Be sweet. Be anything. The woman turned to her.
"Hi there!" she grinned.
Agnes opened her mouth but nothing came out. It felt dry. "...s-sorry. I... want to sign up?"
The woman started talking about the club. Agnes tried to concentrate but her head was pounding. She was really embarrassed. The woman handed a clipboard to her.
"Just write your name." she smiled. Agnes nodded. Her handwriting was small and cursive. She normally took time with it, but she wanted to get away quickly. Once it was over she walked away, fast.
'Be more confident', her mother had said. And she had.

After the gig had ended, Sky had managed to slip through the crowd and get backstage. It wasn't unlike her to pull a stunt like this, but they didn't have a keyboardist and she didn't have a job. It was at least worth a shot, right?
She went over to the band, most of them were attempting to get laid. Obviously. She couldn't blame them, musicians are in demand, being in a band is like signing your sex away. What a life. All the one night stands you could ever dream of, and more. Sky chuckled to herself, only in her head, not out loud.
"Uh... hey." Sky smiled in the general direction of the band members. "Great show."

I'm gonna try and get something up before I go to sleep
Sorry for not posting! I'll try and get something up tomorrow for interaction.
I've been so busy. I have a lot of work with school, but I'll try and get the IC up tomorrow. It might not be that great though.
I'll work on an opening post. Hopefully a few more people will join though.
