After what felt like hours, my 'mom' decided to finally leave us alone to continue our day.

"So where are we going?" I ask as we file into Calum's truck. They all turned to look at me with an odd expression on their faces.

"Why are you guys staring at me like that?"

"You just had a throw down with your mom in the parking lot of McDonalds and you're acting like nothing happened," Luke explained.

"It's not the first and not the most hurtful so I'm fine," I lied. In all honesty this is the first one where she called me names and hit me.

They all believed my lie and decided to leave the subject alone as we drove onto the road.

"I'm about to take y'all to the best arcade in town so I can whoop your àsses in every game they have," Calum smirks.

"I bet you ten dollars I can beat you in the first game we play together," I counter.

On the way to the arcade, we obnoxiously sang to every song that played through the speakers and bantered whether or not we could beat Calum.

Calum was on one side of the table while I was at the other side. I dropped the puck onto the table and hit it swiftly.

My strategy was to let the puck bounce off the side and into the goal. It's the way that no one expects you to take.

When I did the strategy, it worked and that goal was the one that determined my victory.

"I told you I could beat you," I smirked, fist pumping the air. He groaned in annoyance and went to go watch Luke and Ashton go against each other.

I decided to leave the clique to roam the arcade and see what it had. There were some old classics like pac-man and many new ones.

My train of thought caused me to lose my focus and run into a tall figure. The impact makes me fall backwards and I groan when I hit the floor.

"Holy shît I'm sorry!" The figure apologizes, holding out a hand to me. I accepted his offer and he pulled me up with one small tug.

"It's fine. I wasn't paying attention so it was my fault," I smiled, brushing off the filth that could've collected on my clothes.

"Let me at least repay you by taking you on a date or some shît."

"I don't even know you and you're already taking me to the next base," I tease. I could see his cheeks redden under the fluorescent lights.

"I-I didn't mean it like that," he groaned, following me.

"Here's my number. Text me or whatever if you still want to repay me. Maybe I could beat you at a few games," I chuckled, grabbing a pen from the table near us and writing it on his hand.
