The truth is, when I have work to do, I do it. I have no special time to with friends. I was embarrassed about this. I expected him to think I was boring and said, "Get a life!" He said, "OK. You're having trouble getting along with people I can show you. I'm old than you." Later, he checked my computer. He even connected me to an Internet chess server .He was becoming like a big brother. But when I thought about it, I didn't really want Nitin's help" His big-brother idea began to bore me. "I'll get you some cool computer programs ". "I'll teach you how to talk to girls."
