9:30 sharp
Jolu introduced me to his pals , whom he 'd known since computer camp in the fourth grade . More people showed up -- five , then ten , then twenty . It was a seriously big group now . We 'd told people to arrive by 9:30 sharp , and we gave it until 9:45 to see who all would show up . About three quarters were Jolu 's friends . I 'd invited all the people I really trusted . Either I was more discriminating than Jolu or less popular .
