"Alright, it is running." "Did you organize the whole thing well this time?" Nate asked, "Cause last time I went for a smoke break, I came back to you feeding it data that looked like it was organized by my middle schooler niece." I flipped him "Take note of the code. It keeps taking the wrong data and I don't know why." "Maybe if you weren't so shit at organizing, it wouldn't do that." He murmured thinking that I wouldn't hear him.
"What?" I dared him to say it again.
"Nothing, save the instance and email it to everyone. The guys will look over it in the morning." "Cool." I sat on there and watched the progress bar as it moved at a painstakingly slow pace. I don't know how I got this invested in less than two weeks. Nate came and huddled next to me. "Want a refill?" "I'm dying for some" He brought the coffee jug and filled my mug.
Uni life am I right?
"How are things with Mary going?" I shrugged and took a sip of the coffee. "Been a week since the party Y/N, and you went on your first date, right? I'd say things are going smoothly." He's more into this than I am "Honestly, she's weird. The last time we met she kept trying to make me tell her how Josh's "Project" is," the expression on his face slightly changed. "Did you tell her anything?" "Nope," I replied with a pop. "I'll tell Josh in the morning then, just to stay on the safe side."
We sat there for about half an hour and right when it hit 6%, I started becoming less invested "I think it's high time we start watching a movie. Your pick this time, right?" I nodded and said "Yep, I am caffeine high and "The Conjuring" seems like a nice rewatch." He looked at me weird "When I scream and when they wake up, I'm gonna blame it on you Y/N." I plugged in the earphones. "Don't worry I'll protect you from the little demon girl and besides, you are probably wearing your diapers so feel free to piss yourself if you feel like it, I won't mind." He mumbled something about not being respected anymore while I started the movie. Long story short, not halfway through, he screamed, Julian threw his pillow at us, and we spilled hot coffee all over the place. Thankfully the PC survived.
Nate used Julian as an excuse to bitch out, but I sat there and finished the first and was about to finish the second one when I saw the first hint of sunlight through the window. The others were already on and about before I realized. Josh was the one who knocked me out of my half-asleep state when he more or less drop-kicked the door in and screamed,
"Brought some more snacks junk food boys!" "And coffee?" Nate asked for all of us. Josh grinned and told us all to huddle up then from his bag, he took out 2 coffee machines and what looked like expensive bags of coffee.
I took a moment to thank rich people then after we set everything up and had our first, second, and third cup of coffee and some "food" in our systems, we went straight to work. Nate took Julian to show him the code while Josh and I waited patiently for the last bits of the run to finish. We both visibly swallowed as the accuracy report file came through.
"The honor is yours cause lord knows I don't have the balls." He said with his hands up. I chuckled and opened the text file. We stared at it for a while, exchanged glances then started laughing our hearts out. Nate and Julian came over with a curious look on their face.
"What are you guys laughing about?" Nat asked. I whipped the tears off my face and said "Look at the accuracy report this shit spat out."
"96%," Josh said still laughing on the floor.
"I must've fucked things up huh?" Julian didn't respond. I thought he was processing the joke, that is this situation, till Nate said something that made both Josh and I stop laughing.
"We checked the code Y/N, it was spotless. I think this is a legit number."
Josh and I scoffed at this at first till we went to Julian's desk and checked the code ourselves. Not a single mistype on it. Josh hurried back. I could hear them having a back and forth while I sat there staring at the screen.
Moments later I heard a slam on the door and the sound of Josh on the phone. I went back to Julian and Nate. We didn't say anything for a while. Just stared at this report.
"So, what now?" I asked. "I don't know. This feels off somehow." Nate replied. "Tell me about it." Julian said, "You guys sure you didn't mess up the data?" Both of us nodded "no." "Then I think we did it." Josh came in looking serious "I talked to him. We were the ones left to finish, so he moved the meeting up to this Sunday. He said he'll tell me the hotel. Wear formal boys, that includes you to Y/N."
"Wait what?"
"Yes, you are part of this after all. What we should do now is run the shit out of this thing and see if the results are consistent." He replied.
The rest of the day we spent exactly doing that. We ran the thing again on two computers this time and it was when the same results came through on the second test that the excitement started to set in. Screams were shared and things were broken and spilled, one of those being the coffee on my hair. I got out of that place before those crazy fucks bathed me with more. Let's say that I felt more human when I got out of the bathroom with a fresh change of clothes without a sticky feeling on my body, but my overall excitement faded as I saw Mary standing against the wall in front of the bathroom door. "Oh Y/N."
The fuck is she doing here?
"Oh, hey Mary. How've you been?" "Peachy. Absolutely peachy. Where have you all been for the past 2 weeks? You haven't been coming to class and you aren't answering my calls," she replied bitterly. "I don't think I can tell you that." She scoffed "Oh yeah of course you can't. You're like every other guy." I was about to scream at her but stopped as I heard Josh's voice from my right. "Don't you think my brother got enough info already, Mary?" she turned and smiled at him, "Josh, the knight in shining armor comes to save the day." He didn't respond but took her hand and dragged her away with him.
He came a good minute later looking exhausted "She shouldn't bother you any longer." He sighed then continued. "Now let's go back. Nate said we ought to go out clubbing and drinking all night to celebrate, so cheer up. Imma try to outdrink you tonight, eh?" "You can try," I said with a smile. Knight in shining armor indeed.
