Cathy worked at the local arcade, and she absolutely hated it with all her heart, and some more of her other vital organs. The pizza place wasn't hiring, the sandwich shop down by the town center didn't take teenagers, and she was out of options, until one day she walked by the small window, the only thing catching her eye on the colorful building was the small black and white sign reading, "HELP WANTED". Her small pale arms pushed open the slightly heavy door, and she saw a middle aged man at the counter, and the arcade was otherwise empty besides the boy playing Pac-Man, with odd hair. Cathy took a quick look around, noticing the blacklight and neon colors, accompanied by the flashing lights of the games.
"Hello? I'd like a job." She said, smiling at the man. The boy with the bluish fuzzy hair looked up from his game.
The man raised an eyebrow at me. After a moment he asked, "How old are you, kid?"
"Seventeen" Cathy replied, staring up at him. Mind you up, even though she was a respectable height of 5'5, this man seemed like a giant.
"You're hired." he smiled a toothy smile. "Start tomorrow, noon, that work?" he asked she and then she nodded. The boy's eyes never left her the entire time.
