I grumble the entire way out of my car, going to the arcade that Daniel had bugged me into coming to. The whole day he's been texting and calling wanting me to come to this stupid place, and why? Because apparently he needs someone to help him think about anything other than the girls.

I push through the doors, spotting him almost instantly out of the other people playing the games as if their lives depend on it. I go through the crowd of smelly teens that seriously need to get a life and push his shoulder when I make it up to him." I'm here. Not that I want to be."

"You said you were doing nothing."

"Yeah, which is how I liked it."

He rolls his eyes before putting another quarter into the pax man machine." The girls are here with Asher's dad. I just wanted someone to be with me in case one of them see me."

"Why? Afraid they'll jump you?"

"Why is your voice so deep right now? Dos it do that when your annoyed? But no. I don't want them to think that I'm a loser who goes to the arcade by himself."

"Because you are."

"You're not helping what so ever."

"Good. So that means I'll just leave-" I turn and his hand wraps around my bicep and stops me from moving.

"No. Please. I really need you to stay." I groan and he grunts as pac man begins to shrink away from getting caught by one of the ghost looking creatures." Gosh." He sighs out and rubs at his face before pulling out a twenty from his pocket." Want to go with me to cash this in for some quarters?"

"Sure." I follow him to the black cashing machine and wait as he gets change for the twenty dollars, and decide to get some out myself. I reach into my pocket and pull out my wallet, pulling out a fifty and waiting j Tim Daniel has all his quarters before putting my bill into the machine. He glances around and reaches me one of the bags to put all the quarters in and I roll my eyes." Why didn't you just leave if your so worried about them being here?"

"Because I might not want them to see me, but I want to see them. And I'm curious as to why they're here together. Wasn't Asher ignoring Hana just yesterday?"

"That sounds creepy, what are you their new stalker? And why are you so paranoid over them being together? Get over it."

"Because. I just- I really have no idea. And just Asher's...." He freezes, his eyes following something behind me and I turn to see the two laughing together and going to the strength test game. Hana puts in a quarter and grabs the massive hammer and Asher helps her put it over her shoulder. Hana bites her lip and swings the hammer into the metal piece, the impact not being very hard. The bell stops at the eight, out of twenty and Hana shakes her head at Asher, smiling as she says something. Asher rolls her eyes and puts a quarter into the machine and takes the hammer from Hana and spreads her feet, before bringing it down onto the piece, the impact of it making it bounce back up and out of her hands. A music fills the room, as the bell hits all the way up to the sixteen and tickets begin to fly out of the machine. Hana rolls her eyes before squatting beside of Asher and picking up the tickets a long with her.

I pause before grabbing all my coins, sliding them into the bag and making my way over to the girls." Five dollars in quarters that you can't get higher."

Asher and Hana looks up at me, Asher squinting at me as Hana gives me a small smile." And six if you can get higher as well."

"Deal." I say and get out two quarters from my bag and sit it in the pocket of my cardigan." You first."

She rolls her eyes as the two raise back up, and Hana scowls slightly once Daniel comes up behind me." Whatever." She puts two more quarters in the machine and grabs the hammer again." Higher than sixteen?" I nod and she pumps her right arm slightly before placing the hammer on her shoulder and positioning her feet again. She takes a deep breath before swinging the hammer again, moving her back with it the whole way down and hitting it much harder than the last time. I've lost five dollars. The hammer hits the target , sending the bell to go all the way to the eighteen." Two extra dollars if you can get it higher than eighteen."

"Deal." I put the two quarters into the machine and take the hammer from her, going in front of the target. I face her and keep one hand to my side and look at her before bringing the hammer down with one hand into the target, the impact causing my arm to shake from the vibration.The bell hits metal, sending a siren to fill the arcade and lights to come out of the red box on the top. Twenty.

Asher deflates and begins to reach into the purse that hangs around her shoulder to her waist and takes out a bag the size of mine and begins to take out quarters.

"You don't have to give me the eight dollars. I have a whole bag."

"What? No. We made a bet and I lost."

"Yes but you were to distracted by my fancy cardigan to see that I am quiet the savage."

She rolls her eyes at me, and I notice Hana scowl at me slightly when a smile comes to Asher's lips." Whatever. But I'm not a loser like you. I'm taking that five dollars."

I chuckle before reaching into my pocket and grab out a handful and count the five dollars out from my hand and drop them into her bag." Stingy."

"Thanks, I appreciate the compliment."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/-------------/-------------------------

"Just choose one."

My mouth falls open as I left an eyebrow at Xavier." What no. It's isn't just choosing one. It's a bear for Hana."

"It isn't like she's your girlfriend."

I stiffen and scowl at Daniel and grumble out," And she isn't yours either." He scowls back at me and I turn to Xavier, making my back face Daniel fully." But seriously the blue or green bear?"

"I don't know. Get her favorite color."

I bite my lip, squinting at him, but turn to the prize booth and look at the Bears that hang from the top." The.... Actually. The tan. Just the tan."

The man nods and takes the bear down and sits it iron the counter and I reach him the tickets. One thousand tickets for a bear that's hardest even as tall as my torso. This place must make a killing....

Xavier rolls his eyes and put at the can of silly string and getting one of the crown inflatables. He sits the crown on top of his head and takes the silly string before reaching the man his thousand tickets, still being left with more." Um.... And get me that small pink bear." The man takes down the bear that about the size of Xavier's head and Xavier reaches over him the last of his tickets. He turns towards me and I snort back a laugh at the sight of him and glance at Daniel as he gets one of the laser fake guns, handing over his tickets as well." I believe we can all say that I'm the king of the arcade." Xavier says mockingly and sprays silly string at the two of us. I scrunch my nose and head to the restrooms where Hana had disappeared to, to find her just walking out wiping her hands with a napkin.

I smile at her and walk towards her,"How was the trip?"

"Glorious. They had a few breeze air freshener in there and throw up covering the first stall. Pizza and breadsticks."

I scrunch up my nose and look at the bathroom disgustingly before looking back at Hana." Guess who's bear this is?" I dance the bear around in my hands and a gigantic smile comes to her face as she looks at the fluffy little thing." Me." Her face deflates instantly and I laugh before handing it to her." Happy Sunday."

She takes the bear and bits her lip,"Man, I didn't get you anything... I'm sure the throw up is still In there if-"

"I'm good." She rolls her eyes and freezes slightly at the sight of the boys still with us.

"I thought they'd be gone by the time I got out."

"Come on, Xavier's cool."

"Hello?"

I turn to Daniel, his eyebrow being lifted up along with his hands." Xavier's cool." I repeat and turn back to her.

She rolls her eyes again and mumbles something under her breath before saying,"It's six a clock we should be going back to where your dad is."

I nod and turn to the guys,"Well, we'll be going. We have a curfew to go by and I don't feel like finding out what will happen if we don't make it to our destination fast enough."

"Finally." Daniel sighs out and grabs Xavier's arm." Lets go."

I roll my eyes as Hana grabs my arm and begins to lead us away." Thanks for the bear Asher."

"Welcome. Though I do want something in return."

She smirks and looks my way," And what's that?"

"Haven't figured out all the details yet."
