Aidan Domingo was a sheltered child. She preferred doodles and diaries over crushes and slumber parties. Her whole existence revolved around studying, doing house chores, and cooking, instead of hanging out, sleeping over, and socializing. 

One day, she comes across an arcade game that catches her eye. For an entire week, it drives her crazy with curiosity. As she finally gives in to the push-button experience, a challenger of uncanny confidence--and deep-set dimples--breaks her victorious streak.

Will he be more than her Player Two?

*****

A/N:  Arcade will span the length of Aidan's teenage life. So, don't worry. She won't be twelve forever. 

It is set in the Philippines with cultural references to the said country. Allow me to transport you in Aidan's not-so-typical world, social backgrounds (of that time), and some use of the local language (with glossary, of course!).

Oh, by the way, I'm entering the #Wattys2015. So, if you've enjoyed this story, please don't forget to share it with your friends.

Kate Rogers just moved from Georgia to Louisiana, but not because of the reason you might think. Her parents and uncle dies and she knows no one else to take her in. She lives with her aunt Olivia and cousin Mark. With the month she has been with them, she has undergone a new name, a new school and new friends. She has to keep a low profile or the man she's hiding from will take her away again. Her dad made her train in multiple techniques to help her stay away from this guy, but dealing with a whole new life of Isabella Myers is a different story. °\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\ Ace Torres is the 'bad boy' of the school. Everyone avoids him at all costs, except his friends that always end up popping out of nowhere. He's on the football and baseball team, but his teammates don't talk to him. His friends are on the teams with him and they are the only ones that have manage to speak with him and hold a full conversation. That all changes when he meets a beautiful girl by accident. Like literally, he was driving by a random house and boom, something hits his car. It was like love at first sight when he saw her, but fate always has a way to make you be with them longer then necessary. °\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\°\ The first 10 chapters are really bad, but it gets better after.
