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.

Josh and Katie have been best friends since he first moved nextdoor midway through freshman year. They were attached to the hip and acted like they've known each other for years. Josh Parker was the all American boy who all the girls wanted, including Katie. As Katie and Josh's friendship blossomed she quickly formed a crush on Josh, but as the years progressed, her crush turned into love. Five years after leaving Miami brokenhearted after finding out about Josh's engagement to his childhood sweetheart. Katie unexpectedly reunites with her former best friend, and Josh quickly realizes that his feelings for her are not just platonic anymore. * As I'm walking out of work I get a call from my brother to pick my niece up from school. For the past 4 years that little girl has had me wrapped around her finger and I wouldn't have it any other way. Unfortunately I got stuck in traffic on the way over so I'm late for pick up. Once I get to Melanie's classroom I fill out the sign out sheet that's on the wall and make my way into the classroom. I faintly hear Melanie laughing so I know she's not upset from me being late. "Hey I'm so sorry. I got stuck in traff..." I said stopping mid sentence, stunned at the woman in front of me. Standing in front of me is someone I considered one of the most important people to me back in highschool. As soon as I looked into those Caribbean blue that I used to know so well, I knew it was her. It takes her a few seconds to realize who I am. She stands there stunned. We continue to stare at each other until she breaks the silence. "Josh?" She asks not believing it's actually me. "Hey Katie girl."

NOTICE: Before the Morning is currently undergoing revisions! A sensitivity reader (someone who goes through your manuscript and assesses representations in your work) identified a number of issues surrounding the Filipino representation in BTM. I'm rewriting with the goal of creating a more authentic and respectful story. I'm sorry for the pain I caused by failing to include accurate Filipino culture and in having written from Nora's point of view.
