Judge a person by their book

(And not their cover) Some people who passed away get trapped in their favorite book. The people that get trapped in a book have something left they need to do on earth before they pass. There’s a required class in school where we bond with the “book people”...So not only does it help us learn about the book but we bond with a person. I picked 3 books: the little prince (my fav), a Victorian picture book, and a book about a girl who could see the future and tries to save her boyfriend from dying (lol idk it’s not a real book irl). The people in the book communicate through the letters in the book. The original text will disappear and rearrange itself to show what the person is trying to say. Some of the book people haven’t mastered talking through the book so I asked easy ‘yes or no’ questions. I bonded with each person in my books. However, when I headed to class, the book about the girl who could see the future was acting up. The book was trying to get out of my hands and the pages were flipping like crazy. I asked the girl, “what’s wrong??” She told me, “don’t let my boyfriend end up like the character in this book. Please save him.” The only problem was....I never read the book she was trapped in. I don’t even know why I picked it up. So I speed read her book and got a gist that the boyfriend ends up dying in a car accident because he was late to an important appointment. So something is going the book person’s boyfriend...I don’t even know how she knows but she was being serious. I was telling my friends the situation during lunch, we sat outside on a bench. The only other person sitting there was a guy. His friends already left and he was quietly sitting there with his books. I told my friends that I wanted to help her but it wasn’t our job to help the book people. (So I guess there’s people that help the book people fulfill their last wish). But I bonded so much with my book person that I wanted to help her. My dream ended with me going to her boyfriend’s college. (This dream was so long and clear...this is what happens when you pull an all nighter.)
