Kevin stayed in the library till late in the evening, barely noticing what was going on around him. His greenish-gold eyes reflected the light from the computer screen as he worked, without a single break or distraction. He made a subtle change in one of the lines in the program and ran the program, certain that it would work exactly the way he wanted it to. Surely enough, the program executed all the commands perfectly. A wide smile broke out on his face as he copied the code into an email and sent it to his professor. He was happy that he was finally finished. And when he was happy, he usually felt chatty.

He got up to put the book back in the reference section, when he spotted Terrance. "Hello," he greeted the other cheerfully. "We've been running into each other quite often lately, haven't we?"
