The Dragon Pact

  It all started when Diana Long, had came from college, that she had headed into Merlin's Bookstore, while it started to rain; & then, snow, but, Diana was used to the snow, since she had been in Saint Louis, Missouri, for over a year, completing her college, courses', on Zoology, & of course; writing, as; she was a writer. "Welcome, my friend." Diana heard the old Book Store Owner, say; while Diana took her seat, & placed her things', upstairs'; while writing on her computer, while listening to music. It hadn't been but a week, & Diana was writing her newest story, called The Pact to The Dragon King; just after a few weeks'. Despite her being smart & highly intelligent, Diana did not have many friends', &; while, she wished she had at least one person, who was her age; that actually, wanted to be her friend, but; despite her demeanor, Diana was often either antagonized, or; shunned, & was even called names' by her College Peers'; due to her having Autism or ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) & being Socially Akward, so, she being away from The University, & it being a dreary day outside; really, livened up Diana's mood. Being at the bookstore, being able to be herself & relax, in both; bookshop & coffee shop; made Diana happy. While she had been seeing the weather outside, she grabbed her things', making sure not to leave Anything behind, while her Aunt Betsy. called her, asking if she were alright, & that; she needed to talk to her, when she got home. "Am I in trouble, Aunt B?" Diana asked, while her aunt said; "no, but, I'd like you to meet me at BJ's Coffee House, after you finish getting your books'." "Yes, Aunt B." Diana said, while buying her books', & stuffing them, in her bookbag; & then, going to the coffee house, where; she met her Aunt B, Uncle John, The University Counselor, Mrs. Jane Bosse', & a very unfamiliar young man, Diana had never seen before.
