A story in which a 14-year-old (Orm) fell in love with her best friend's cousin (Lingling), who is 17 years old.

At the Compshop:
Orm walked into the computer shop and looked around with her eyes as she searched for her regular seat. When she saw it was vacant, she turned to the PC bang attendant and dropped the coins. "PC 5, for 1 hour." She said, but the guy is still focused on playing.
"Rik!"
"Erik!"
The boy named Erik gave her a look, his eyebrows furrowing because his game had been disrupted. He took off his headset and raised his eyebrows at her. "What??"
Orm rolled her eyes. "I said I want to play at PC 5. You keep playing Dota and you just ended up losing. Come on, hurry up at PC 5."
He sighed and took the coins from the counter. "I've already given you time. Leave now. You disturbed me just for your childish Tetris game."
"I am a child, after all." She made a 'bleh' face before going to her seat and starting to open the PC. Erik just ignored her and got back to his game.
Orm sat comfortably in her chair and opened two tabs, one for YouTube and one for Facebook. She put on the cafe headset but stopped halfway when she smelled it. "Damn, it stinks!" She stood up. "Hey Erik! Seriously, why are your damn headsets always so stinky?!" She shouted, making everyone inside stare and then shoo her out.
One of the dota players spoke. "Orm, you're so noisy. Go home already, kid. I'm telling your mom. It's late, and you're still at the internet cafe."
"Ulol" She leaned back and took out her handkerchief. She then put it on her head, covering her ears, before putting on the headset. She just couldn't resist; she really enjoys playing games while listening to songs on YouTube.
When she opened her Facebook, a lot of messages popped up. They were typical messages from kids her age, only with invitations to play Tetris or Roblox.
"Orm, let's g."
"1 vs 1."
"Orm, what's your level in Tetris now?"
She disregarded the messages and opened the one that invited her to play Roblox as she began typing on the keyboard. "I'll enter now, just join."
In the middle of the game, she started screaming as they played "Rainbow friends"
"Oh my goddddd! Oh my goddd!"
"Milk, Blue is on your back!! Watch out!"
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"Don't go there! Helicopter might catch you!"
Orm is always noisy when she's playing. Everyone in the cafe is loud because all of them, whether kids or adults, are playing and they all scream. But tonight she is the loudest and everyone is accustomed to it, although they sometimes get annoyed by her screaming voice. "Kiddo, my ears are hurting. I'm just right beside you. Can you shut up or I'll make you go out?"
But she just ignored it and continued to scream, making the guy sigh in defeat and just full-blast the volume in his headset.
Just then, her PC suddenly shut down. She frowned and stood up abruptly, walking to the counter. "Hey Rik! Why did you turn off my PC?"
"Your 1 hour is up."
"Oh." She scratched the back of her head and looked back at him. "But I don't have any money left. Can you give me 1 hour for free?"
