— Tommy's POV —

After breakfast we hung around Will's flat until the Arcade opened at around 10. We walked around the Arcade and i felt guilty as we left Izzy out a bit. She had opted to not be filmed or anything, so she lagged behind on her phone.

After we cashed in our tickets, we stood in line with the tickets to get prizes. Izzy stood with Phil and Kristen at the air-hockey game. Izzy was cheering on Kristen as Phil was losing miserably.

"IZZY! IZ! IM GETTING A GUN!" I yelled to her from the line, people looking at me with weird looks.

"Don't yell that you wanker!" She yelled back with a laugh. I laughed, picturing her evident smile hidden behind her mask.

"I think you gotta go for the gun and the yo-yo." Will said as we conversed and debated on what to get with our tickets, Dave just continually laughed at our child-like tendencies.

"The yo-yo, yeah! I mean when the ladies see me with my gun and yo-yo, they wont- they just won't be able to resist!" I replied with a smile.

The only girl i don't want to resist me doesn't even think of me in that way and is my best friend.

"That's goin in the quote book." Will said with an evident smile, i laughed as we continued to stand in line.

As we made our way to the front of the line, Will excused himself to the restroom and i looked around for Izzy. I tried not to panic when i hadn't spotted her, but felt relief when she leaned her chin on my shoulder.

"Who ya lookin for? You look a bit crazy right now, if im honest." She asked quietly, making my heart race and a smile make its way to my face.

"I was looking for you." I said, turning around to face her.

"What do you plan on getting?" She asked, her long hair framing her face.

"That's none of your concern, woman." I replied.

"Rude, innit. Alright, you guys are boring, im headed to the restroom outside and then sitting at a bench. Be safe, come find me when you get your shit." She said with a soft laugh. Her hand brushed against my arm and my heart stopped. She jogged toward the front of the building and out the doors.

Will soon came back as i was moving up to get my stuff. Like the prick he is, he walked away because i was "too embarrassing", whatever that meant. I was far from annoying, sometimes.

I found Izzy sitting on the bench outside the bathrooms and admired her for a second before jogging towards her. I was apparently the first one back, as she was sat alone. I sat down next to her and nudged her to get her attention without scaring her.

"Hi." I said with a smile, pulling down my mask so she could hear me better.

"Hello, Tom." She replied. Her smile was adorable and visible once she took off her mask.

"You tired?"

"Yeah."

"Me and Dave are gonna sneak into Will's office, wanna join?" I offered. I knew she'd be out in a few hours so why not spend our time together pissing off Will?

"Mmm, sure why not." She replied after a moment of hesitation.

"Oh! Look, i have a yo-yo!" I exclaimed, pulling the yo-yo from the small stack sat beside me. "The ladies can't resist me now!" I tried my hardest to correctly spin it like taught by my dad years ago, but to no avail.
