The boy, about the age of thirteen, smiled as he clicked the left part of the mouse. He was awed by the electronic device. People told him it was known as a computer. It was amazing; he had never seen anything like a 'computer' at White Tiger Hills. He didn't care if people stared at him while he sat for hours at times in the library on the computer, though he had to get off occasionally to let some one else get on.

His long black hair was a bit of a mess, but he didn't really mind, his red Ying Yang head band kept it out of his face. His dark brown eyes scanned the screen in front of him. He didn't care about anything else that was going on around him. It was probably a good thing, seeing as he totally zoned out when he was on the computer, so he didn't hear anything.

"Excuse me, we're closing, I'm afraid you must get off the computer and leave."

"……….."

"Excuse me, we're closing, you must get off the computer."

"……….."

"Excuse me! We're closing, so you have to get off the computer and leave!"

"Yes Ma'am, you don't have to be so loud though."

The boy got up, he wished he could kick the librarian, but knew that wouldn't end up very well. He'd want to come back tomorrow, and if he did that, they might not want him coming back. He sighed as he walked out the doors of the library, they swung shut behind him. He looked around, trying to decide which way he should go back to the house he was staying at that belong to some of Elder Tao's friends.

"Excuse me; do you know how to get to the mall?"

The boy looked over to the person who'd just asked the question. He searched for the reply button, wanting to tell them he didn't know. He started to sweat as he couldn't find it.

"Are you ok?"

"Where's the reply button!"

"Um, boy, what are you talking about?"

"I can't find the reply button!"

The person watched as the boy ran off, shouting stuff about a reply button." What's wrong with that person?"
