A Troubled Bookworm

A Troubled Bookworm

“An unsociable person moved into a new town, struggling for a job to buy new books.”

There lived a boy named Koob, he is a shy and unsociable person, and a bookworm. He doesn’t interact with other people very much, or you can say he never interact with others. One day he moved to a new town, there he met with new neighbors, but, as his personality, he rather avoid them than interact with them.

He lived in a small house, where the space between houses is small. His parents was living overseas, so they just deliver a small amount of money to him to fulfill his needs.

“My money is not enough for me to buy a new book.. what must I do?” He thinks.

He thinks for awhile, and he walk out to find a job. First, he go to the restaurant and try to become a waiter. At his first day, he approach a customer, the customer looks like a pirate, wearing an eyepatch, his clothes was torn, and his leg on the table. Koob looked nervous, but he finally made it. 

He spoke : “W.. Wh.. What do you want to have, sir?”

“I wanccha acchuphofthea---!" said the pirate-looking customer

The customer spoke in a weird accent, so he can’t hear. He was about to ask him again, but he was too shy, and then he just go to the kitchen and leave it all to his own measurement. Koob brought a bowl of curry rice to him.

“Whattsthis?Immanot orderindhese!! Yarrrr!!”

Of course the customer was dissatisfied and angry, Koob is not suitable for this kind of job, so he dropped the waiter job.

In the evening, he continue his reading, almost all of his book have been read before, he only like to read a book which he hasn’t read, he doesn’t like to read a book twice.

Then in the morning he began to walk out again to find a more suitable job for him. He was applying for a business company. He’s smart, so he got accepted easily. He work well for several hours.

 But, what worse, he didn’t like to talk much, so when the meeting was held, he was really nervous. When the meeting was held, the HDR ask him to introduce himself to the boss and other employees, of course he was troubled. He was sweating so badly, and not a word came out from his mouth. Everyone was so dumbfounded, and the next day he was fired because they think he can’t talk at all.

In the end, he can’t get any money and was not able to buy any books.

“ I need to interact more..” he said to himself.

He went out , trying to greet the neighbours.
