As Alastair entered the library with a hand full of books he sat down at a table near a boy listening to music and scanning a book. Alastair opened a book on history and tried to study but couldn't because of the music, Alistair turned around and eyed the boy. He looked back at his book and just couldn't concentrate. He wanted to ask him to turn down the music but since he was new he didn't want to start a fight and make an enemy.
After fifteen minutes he had enough. He turned around and said," Excuse me, but can you please turn down the music? I can't even hear my own thoughts."
Hoping that didn't aggravate the boy, he ambitiously waited for an answer.
