Amelia's POV :

"Abigail!" I groan at her, "I finished cleaning your room an hour ago. Can I have my money now?" I beg.

"Oh, yeah!" She runs upstairs. She comes back down after a few seconds.

"Here ya' go!" She hands me loads of quarters. And walks over to the front door.

"Where you going?" I ask her.

She turns around confused, "I thought you wanted me to drop you off or something, didn't you ask me yesterday?" She reminds me.

"Oh yeah, I did! Let me grab my stuff" I then run upstairs, I grab my backpack and go back down, out the door and into the car.

.

We arrive at the arcade and I hear the music playing from inside. The flashing lights of the arcade games blinding me.

"Okay, bye!" I wave at Abby

"Bye, you're biking home right? Also, be home by 9.30!" She shouts at me as I close the door on her. Oops.

I take my bike out of car trunk and roll it over to the bike rack.

I turn around and Lucas, Mike and Dustin are all cycling over to me, "Hey!" They all greet me, "Hi, guys!"

.

"To slay the dragon, use the magic sword"

"Oh, Jesus! I'm in unchartered territory here, guys" Dustin says to us like we can't see.

"Down, down!" I shout by his ear.
"I'm going. I'm going!" Dustin complains, moving the character down and ducking from the dragons claws.

We all shout anxiously.

"I'm going! I'm going! I'm going!".  Dustin nods. The character grabs the sword. "Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!" He pushes the sword buttons on repeat like it'll do something amazing. And once more, the dragon sets the character on fire.

I sigh very loudly and put my head in my hands, shaking my head in doing so.

"No! No! No! I hate this overpriced bullshit! Son of a bitch! Piece of shit!" Dustin yells at the game, hitting and kicking it. What a child, I role my eyes at him.

"You're not nimble enough. But you'll get there one day. But until then, Princess Daphne is still mine" Lucas smirks at Dustin.

Dustin shrugs his comment off, "Whatever. I'm still tops on Centipede and Dig Dug"

"You sure about that?" I hear Keith say from my right. We all turn and look at him eating a bag of cheese puffs.

"Sure about what?" Dustin looks at him nervous.

He pushes past us, "You're kidding me. No, no, no"

He then pushes some random kid running over to Dig Dug, " Move! Move! No, no, no, no, no. Hey, no! No! No!"

My mouth is left agap, "751,300 points!" I look around at all of them.

"That's impossible"

"Who is Mad Max?" Dustin asks Keith.

"Better than you" Dustin give him the middle finger.

"Keith, just tell us" I whine.

"Is it you?"

Keith scoffs, "You know I despise Dig Dug"

"Then who is it?"
"Yeah, spill it, Keith"

He shrugs, "You want information, then I need something in return" he turns and looks at me and Mike.
