tyler walked side by side to jenna through the arcade. she had a small skip in her step as the colorful lights played tag around on her face.
oh, how tyler was so temped to lace his hand with hers. he only watched as her light blue eyes were drawn to the fluorescent lights.
"what first?" jenna asked with wide eyes.
there were points where she remembered to slow down because of tyler's foot. tyler didn't care though. he loved her smile.
"whatever you'd like. this is my treat for you." tyler said as soft as he could over the loud games.
his crooked bottom teeth made an appearance with his blush cheeked smile. jenna's lips upturned into a smile as well.
her soft curls bounced in her hair while she looked around the arcade. everything was drawing to her attention.
the big stuffed bears at the prize counter, the room full of black lights and air hockey tables, and the classic video games.
"hey, joseph!" a voice yelled, definitely too masculine to meet jenna's soft spoken words.
from a further over of the arcade stood carnation high's basketball team. why the hell were they all here? why wasn't tyler invited?
"uh, hey. what's up guys?" he scratched the back of his head nervously while jenna stood behind him.
"sorry for not inviting you, man. you and dun have seen a little off so we thought you might have wanted to sit this one out." one of his teammates, brad, spoke.
"don't worry about it. i'm hanging out with jen-." tyler was cut off.
"dude, come play a game of laser tag with us! you and jenna both." mark suggested.
jenna's eyebrows furrowed as she looked down to tylers casted leg. her clear eyes met with his cocoa ones.
"guys, i don't think it'll be too good of an idea with tyler on his leg. we can't have him running like-." now it was jenna who was cut off.
"no i'll do it. come on jenna." he said with a smile.
he noticed how her eyes went to the laser tag room when they walked in. jenna was just too afriad for tyler. tyler didn't care.
the team and jenna began suiting up in their vests with the guns attached to them. unfortunately jenna and tyler has been split up on teams. it was most likely a sexism thing.
the countdown from five began and everyone began to run and hide.
jenna dashed to the back quickly, dodging every person with a blue vest while she also looked for her team in red vests.
her short skirt was the only inconvenience as it rode up her thighs a little. though, it didn't hurt to stop and fix it from time to time.
every time someone was shot, they were eliminated from the game. it started with friendly competition to rabid boys running around ferociously with toy guns.
now it was down to two. jenna and tyler.
jenna watched her white shoes under the black light while in search for tyler. she was surprised he lasted so long. but now, he couldn't run too far away.
"yoo hoo." jenna waved as she smiled at tyler. she pointed the laser gun toward him.
"wait!" he pleaded, running a hand through his brown hair which now appeared purple from the lights.
jenna moved closer to him. both of their chests heaved from running around for the past fifteen minutes or so.
"how about we call a truce?" tyler said, a smile coming across his face. jenna only got closer.
she leaned her hands against his chest, tyler liked where this was going. her arms snaked around his neck, bringing her closer to him.
"truce?" she asked softly.
"mhm." tyler nodded, leaning in closer to her lips.
tylers lips softly met onto jenna's. some of her chapstick was sure to rub off onto his lips. tyler cupped the blonde girls face as she continued to kiss him slowly.
he pulled away, his hands still on her face and jenna's arms still around tyler. jenna pulled her arms away.
her hand reached for the laser gun and she shot tyler right in the chest.
"i win." she giggled through a giddy smile. she kissed tyler on the cheek one more time before meeting the red team out for a victory celebration. tyler was so dumbfounded and blushed.
tyler watched as half of his team praised jenna on their win while the other half gave her small 'good jobs'.
tyler maneuvered through the crowd of other boys to get to jenna.
"can i take you for a victory dinner?" tyler asked. he fiddled with his hands in a nervous matter. it was a good nervous though. jenna made him happy.
"that sounds amazing, ty." she grinned.
this time, tyler walked with jenna's hand intertwined with his.
