It was the tall working student from the computer laboratory. Hmmm! He got more handsome the last time I saw him. Students usually called him as older brother. Don't worry. He had a name. His name was, and probably is, Grant. Hmmm. Why do fourth year high school boys and girls play here in the arcade? Did they have enough money? My heart was a little ant bitten because I my allowance was only ten pesos for the morning breaktime and another ten pesos for the afternoon.

Clarisse saw him after me. She called his name. Wow! She didn't have respect. We should call him older brother. She looked very close with him. She asked him if it would be possible for him to let us go inside the laboratory earlier than our class time. He said yes...but on two conditions...we should be quiet and we should keep it as a secret. He asked us if we had bought our diskettes for our homework. Oh no! I completely forgot about it. So, before heading home, Clarisse and I bought two diskettes.

The next day.

Clarisse and I went to the computer laboratory earlier than others. Grant was really kind. He's tall, hunky style, but with little...just a little fat slash muscle, attractive smile, older brother-type of personality (melt melt). I was considering him to be in my new top three crushes but I knew he might graduate soon. We had a project at that time. We needed to paint something using the computer. We needed to save it on our newly bought diskettes. (I love diskettes at that time. I was always fascinated by their bright colors.)

Clarisse started painting, but I didn't have any ideas what to paint. Grant checked on me and my computer. He asked me if I needed help. I said yes and then he helped me. That was the time when I was amazed about his art. He showed me the outer space. He made planets, stars, meteoroids. I wasn't sure about the orange-looking planet. Was there? (I know now that the orange planet really existed in our reality.)

Would I submit that homework made by him for me?
