Chapter Two: Testing it out.
Lily arrived at the computer lab twenty minutes later, by now sweat had begun to slip down her nose. She was hot and sticky in her cotton school uniform. Her blouse stuck to her back making it clearly visible for all the boys on the bus to yell crude insults out to her as she got out of her seat. With her blouse sticking to her the world was able to see the outline of her bra. Stepping off the stuffy bus Lily looked around the bright street. Business people walked around with their ties loosened and pantyhose's stuffed in their briefcases.
She walked down the street from the bus stop and into the very heart of town where the computer lab was located. When she walked into the large white stoned building she removed her head phones and let the cool air conditioned air cool her sweaty body. Lily listened as her shoes squeaked against the polished marble floors. She had to pass a set of detectors to enter the main computer area. The burrowing counter was placed next to the detectors. She passed through them and stopped at the counter to say hello to a friend.
"Hey Digit, how's it going?" Lily asked cheerfully as she leant against the marble counter. Digit was the weird computer freak who worked at the lab and often talked to Lily complimenting her on her natural connection with computers. Digit was short for Digital as he as known for his great creativity with the digital camera.
"Hey hey hey, it's my favorite computer whiz friend," Digit gave Lily the special hand shake that they had made up and they exchanged a friendly smile. "So what are you working on this very steamy Friday afternoon?" asked Digit giving Lily a cheeky smile. "Ah, that my friend is a solid secret that I am not about to unleash to anyone just yet," "Aw come on Lily, you can tell me," "Mmmm, no, I prefer not to but when my testing stages are complete you will be the first to know about it all," "Too crafty you are Lily, I'll never find out the way you work," "Ah that's nice! But yes, I am slow I suppose but no need to tell me!" She gave him a light punch on the shoulder and headed into the main computer area.
The computer lab itself consisted of eight to ten rows of PC computers, all linked to the internet. There were large glass doors that lead into the Macintosh room where all computers Mac were placed. Another set of doors lead off into the science labs and from there there was a room called the "technical room". This is where customers were able to build and construct things that could not be near a computer. Also in this room where two walls of lockers where customers could keep all their tools and equipment. This is where Lily's remote control car lay, with her laptop and other tools. Lily made her way to the technical room and to her locker. After collecting her things she sat down at one of the large benches.
Opening her laptop Lily logged on and set up her program. She connected it to her joystick that came with the little truck. Lily already knew that the truck would move but she wanted to test the speed and stability of the truck. She put down the truck on the marble floors and switched on the joystick. The truck jolted forward a bit as the joystick turned on. Using the joystick Lily guided the truck into an open and clear stretch. Making sure no one's feet or bags were in the way Lily pushed the joystick forward all the way and pushed the speed up to max. The little truck zoomed down the stretch of marble, Lily pushed it hard all the way and just as it was about to hit the glass doors Lily hit the brakes and released the pressure on the joystick. The truck skidded slightly but stopped only hitting the glass doors a bit.
So far the test was a success but Lily wanted it to be able to stop completely at command. For the rest of the afternoon Lily spent hours making adjustments to the truck and the program itself. She finally left the white stoned building after six o'clock.

Opening the door to her house Lily's mind seemed else where that night. Her mum in the kitchen and her dad in front of the telly watching the update on the footy. Liam was in his room on the phone talking no doubt to his latest girlfriend. No body seemed to notice Lily come in but it hardly worried her. Her mind was elsewhere and no welcoming didn't bother her. In her room Lily crashed on her bed and thought hard about her current problem. She had been able to increase the speed of the truck but unable to make it stop completely on command.
Sighing to herself Lily decided that all programs had its flaws. Getting out of her school uniform and taking out her long dark hair Lily went out into the kitchen to help her mother cook dinner.
AN: Short short short short! Yeah I know but I'm getting a killer headache for some reason…
