AARON: No, we need to turn this into an object and use an instance. We

can reuse it for other kinds of messages.

SPENCER: How?

AARON: By making the API names and local file names properties of the object.

SPENCER: That’s fucking brilliant! Have you heard anything from Mayer?

AARON: Oh yeah, he e-mailed me earlier, and we have a green light. He said he’s “intrigued.”

SPENCER: Hell yeah!

AARON: The e-mail he sent you is probably sitting in your school account. You know, the one you never ever check? Aaron laughed, which he had done more and more often over the past week. In fact, it was starting to feel normal rather than foreign. Spencer was a great partner, bright and efficient, and was turning out to be a great friend as well. They hadn’t talked any more about their pasts after dinner with his family, but they were starting to learn each other’s eccentricities. Aaron knew, for example, that Spencer got very frustrated having to sit in the back of the class. His interpreter was a distraction to the other students, and he favored lip reading anyway. He felt like a spectacle, but the school administration had forced the interpreter on him in an effort to avoid any appearance of discrimination. What he really wanted was for the instructors to use voice recognition software, but the school said they weren’t going to burden their professors with the time it

Aaron

takes to train the software with their voices, not when there were interpreters available.

After all—it was Spencer’s problem, not theirs. Spencer, on the other hand, had learned that if it looked like rain, he needed to take careful notes for his friend. He’d once asked Aaron about it, but Aaron couldn’t adequately explain why he just couldn’t get out of bed when it looked like it could storm.

Aaron felt their project was going very well so far. They had coded all the back-end classes, error handling, and security. It had been accessed through a very simple command line interface, but they were to the point now where they needed to work on a pretty user interface. After that, they could put it on the Internet and start beta testing.

AARON: We’re going to have to do this part in person. Do you want to stay in the lab for a while?

SPENCER: We can’t. There is another class after this one. AARON: I don’t want to go into the main lab. Do you want to come over to my house? SPENCER: Well, my house is quieter, and my desktop is better for interface work. It will be easier to see the design on my huge monitors. There’s more space to work than on a laptop.

Aaron looked at his friend as he sat next to him in the lab. This was a big step for Aaron, and they both knew it. What if something happened? Spencer was right about his computer at home, though. It just made more sense to go to Spencer’s. Aaron could bring his laptop and work from anywhere.
