Dean had a look of disgust on his face. Two of the biggest football jocks were sitting at two other computer terminals, just a few seats away from him in the high school computer lab. They were discussing this simple programming assignment while they were drinking sodas and eating their granola bars, while typing at their computer keyboards with their sticky fingers.
Dean was the lab assistant there. He was only fifteen years old, he wore glasses, he was skinny as a rail and he had brown hair and eyes. He had no muscle on him at all. He looked over at the sign which had rules spelled out in fat, red letters: “No Food Or Drink Allowed in the Computer Lab”.
He took a deep breath and walked over to where the two football players were sitting.
“Umm… Excuse me, guys…” he stuttered. “You… You’re not allowed to bring food or drink in the lab… S-s-sorry…”
Chad and Mitch just stared at the skinny lab assistant.
“Alright. Sorry, Dean. Besides, we need to go to the gym…” Chad said, as he picked up his notebook and backpack.
He slapped Dean on his back, almost sending the skinny guy sailing to the floor, before walking out the door, with Mitch behind him.
“Look at this mess…” Dean sighed, as he ran his finger over the edge of the keyboard that Chad had been using, not knowing that he was coming in contact with the expansion virus. “I need to wipe down the mouse and the keyboard again!”
“Oh come on, Dean!” one of the girls said, as she walked by. “These guys had just grown big and muscular within the past few weeks!”
“I bet they spend more time lifting weights in the gym than studying!” Dean scowled.
“Yeah…” Sandra giggled. “But it has helped. Look at them! They have gained so much muscle recently! They used to be skinny, like you!”
“Yeah well I’m smarter than them and I’m never gonna be a musclehead like those guys!” Dean remarked, as he wiped down the keyboards and the mice with a cloth. “I’m gonna be a geek all my life!”
“Some geeks are muscular, you know?” Sandra added.
“Not me… No way!” Dean answered. “I don’t wanna look like a freak!”
Dean finished his shift in the computer lab before he packed his backpack and went home.
