Game

"let's go!" my mom yells from the kitchen

"are you ready?" i look at emma who's staring at herself in the mirror fixing her hair

"yes" she smiles and we both leave the house

every year my parents throw a fair at their church for a entire month, it's huge and tons of people come every year, it's incredibly fun and my friends and i always meet new people there

we're already running late cause my friend emma took so long to get ready, my dads already there while my mom is driving way past the speeding limit to make it on time

"how do i look" emma ask me

"great" i say, her extra super push up bra is nearly breaking but what can she do about it

"do you think i'll see the cute boy again from last year?" she geeks

"braden?" i ask not remembering who she's talking about, all i do remember is her getting with a guy last year at the fair

"yes!" she smiles

"i don't know" i look away and see my mom pull into the parking lot

she throws me the keys and says, "lock the car door" then she runs out the car and into the church to help my dad

i check my phone and it's 5, the fair stairs at 6 and people are already here.

emma and i get out the car and i lock the car door and shove the keys in my pocket

the place looks way better then last year and with the fresh air of july it feels like tonight's going to be a good night

my dad gives us our wrist bands, emma runs off to hang with our friends while i have to help my dad out

my dad hands me a box and looks at me, "you see that" he points to the arcade with a bunch of people around a game

"yea?" i look back at him

"those boys have been hogging it and have officially broken it, you know how to fix it right?" he ask me

i look back, "yea i guess"

"okay bud, let me know if you need anything" my dad pats my shoulder

i was hoping i wouldn't be forced to help my dad tonight but here i am, i walk towards the game all the boys were hogging

"can you fix this? joey got mad and kicked it so hard it broke" a boy laughs

i put the box down and go down on my knees and open the game, i open it and it looks like whoever this joey kid is kicked it so hard that one of the wires broke

i pull the wire out and replace it with the one my dad gave me, i sigh and close the game, i stand up and put a quarter in to see if it works and the screen slowly pops up and all the guys behind me start cheering

"thanks cutie" the guy behind me says, i turn around and a smile is smeared on his face

"you're welcome" i stand next to the game and see all the guys surrounding it

"so what's up with this game?" i ask, a boy steps up and starts playing

"it's addicting, you have to kill everyone in the game in less then 8 minutes" someone says

"what happens if you don't?" i look at the boy playing it

"you die" he says, i stare at him and he glances at me. he winks at me then looks back at the game

"i'll never understand boys" i shake my head and the guy looks back at me

"i'll never understand girls" he shoots back and i roll my eyes

"says the one who's addicted to a game that involves killing people" i raise my brow and the guys behind me start laughing

"don't bully joey" one of them say

joey

joey looks at me again with a smirk on his face, "you want to play?" he ask me, i look at the game screen and he's died

"wouldn't want to hurt your feelings" i frown and his friends start laughing again

"wouldn't mind getting my feelings hurt by you" he answers back and his friends start shouting from laughter

he moves out the way and i put in another quarter, the screen pops up again and i try to figure out what's happening

and then i remember that i use to play this game when i was a kid every time my dad would have a fair, i use to be a pro at this game, i got this

the game has changed a lot since i last played it but i've already killed 12 people in a minute, i could feel all the guys starting at me or the game and i couldn't help but feel like a champion because once i kill everyone in this game i can flip them all off

8 minutes pass and the word winner shows up and i turn around and flip them off, they all look at joey and start recording him, he stares at me with a smile on his face

his friend laughs and says, "you just lost to a girl"

they all look at me when joey flips them off as well, i cross my arms and joey walks to me. he stands in front of me with one of his hands resting on the game

"and what's your name?" he ask

"olivia" i reply and he smiles

"olivia" he says, "beautiful for a beautiful girl"

"thank you" i blush

"olivia!" i hear someone shout, i turn around and see emma walking towards us

"i've been looking everywhere for you, Chelsea is saving us a spot on the ferris wheel lets go" she wraps her arm around my wrist and pulls me

"wait" joey says and grabs my other wrist, emma stops walking and looks at us

"i'll see you again right?" joey ask

"yea" my heart flutters

"nice meeting you olivia" he says

"you too" i reply back and he walks back to his friend and emma pulls me again

"who was that!" she ask

"a boy i might've just feel in love with" i joke and she laughs
