I looked at the clock and saw it was 6 AM and turned off the alarm. "Yes!" I said out loud because I didn't miss my alarm for once. I sat up and looked to my left and saw my dad holding my curtains about to open them. We stared at each other for a bit. "Why are you up? What's wrong with you?" My dad asked me squinting his eyes. "Can I not wake up at a normal time every once in a while?" I said getting up and heading for my closet. "Um no? A normal person yes could do that, but you aren't that so what's really going on?" He crossed his arms looking at me. "And who are you to say what's normal dad? Anyway if you MUST know then I am going to go out to an arcade. They're having an event starting soon." I said putting my shirt on. "Hm.. still seems off, but I have no time for it. I gotta head to work just promise me you won't do anything stupid. You aren't one to leave the house." He said walking out. "I'll be fine. Besides it's not like it's raining out." I said gathering the rest of my things. I then walked over to the door and turned to look into our living room. The first picture I saw there gave me reassurance that today will be okay. "Bye Dad!" I yelled while walking out. I made it outside, but now I need to know where to start. I want to find that girl from yesterday so let's try the stores near the school.

I ran over to the arcade skipping all the stores. "Elias! I was wondering if you were going to show today! I got new machines!" Luke, the old man who runs the arcade, said while setting up promotions outside. "It's like you knew I was coming Old Man! Step aside! I gotta make sure I get the high score!" I said nodding my head and heading inside the arcade. I wasted my entire day in the arcade because of course I did. I should have spent that time looking for her, but I got distracted. Well I guess I'll call it a night and hopefully not mess it up tomorrow. Hopefully...
