"Fucking 'eh!" The words were precise coming out of her mouth, every syllable audible as if she didn't want anyone to misunderstand her. She had already spent all of her coins on this stupid game. and she had spent 10 dollars for all of her coins. You know, the special arcade coins that come from that damn machine that makes you straighten out the bills you put in no matter how new they are. It was stupid to try and get anything using that cheating claw, everyone knew that the game was impossible. But she really did want the little leprechaun all the way in the back. And every time she almost had it, the scary looking metal contraption hanging by some weird metal like string inside the glass box would automatically open up and drop her love back into the pile of stuffed animals. Spencer should have stayed out of here, it was bad for her health. Because now she was completely blowing off what she should actually be doing, and playing games at an arcade full of ten year olds. This was ridiculous. and it might register as that to anyone normal. But Spencer was only thinking about how cute that leprechaun would look sitting on her bed with her big white gorilla. Oh yes, the troubling thoughts that flooded her mind.
Glaring at the unbeatable game as if it would cave in and launch the leprechaun out because of her intense stare, she picked up her Nolli bag from it's place on the floor beside her and slung it over her shoulder. Oh no, she wasn't leaving. She hadn't even began to play the car game. And after that there was air hockey. and than the ninja games, followed by the shooting games. And last but not least, Dance Dance Revolution. This was going to be a long day. all that handy money she was packing in her bag that was orginally for a couple new outfits would soon be drained by the childish games here at the arcade.
After spending a few moments going through the practiced bill-straightening routine, she fed the machine her moey and got more special coins. Fifteen dollars this time, and it would only get worse. Spencer took her cup over to the car racing game. She sat down in the "driver's seat", sighing as she bent over to pull the lever that let her scoot the seat up. Being short was like being handicapped these days. But she would never say that in front of a truly handicapped person. Spencer surely wasn't the sweetest girl, but she wasn't that mean. She fed the game her coins, and played her little game, and of course she lost. But somehow that didn't take the fun out of it for her. As she was getting up, her arm knocked the cup full of coins from it's place on the "dashboard". "Shit." Thankfully this wasn't too loud, for the sake of the children. not that she cared much. She just didn't want to look like a lunatic screaming and yelling profanities because her coins were scattered over the carpet. Though that would be an entertaining sight, there were no friends here for her to entertain.
And so, she got down, on her hands and knees, and began picking up each and every one of the many coins and plopping them back into the plastic cup. Her lips were moving rapidly in silent curses. She was aware that people were stepping over her and walking around her, which only made her feel even worse. this was weird, considering Spencer was the type of girl to find public humiliation a blast. but her friends weren't here with her, so her wall of confidence was pretty much gone right now. not that she was cowering in a corner or anything. but she wasn't going to be seen rolling on the floor laughing all by herself. It didn't work out like that.
Her tiny hands seemed to be moving irratically all over the floor around her. If the coins weren't golden and shiny enough to be noticable, people might think she was crazy. Which she could be, in a way. In that super loud, obnoxious, odd -face-making way. Yep. That was Spencer, the weirdo. Whatever. It took a moment for the velvety lyrics, most defnitely a males, to register in her mind. Things like that happened sometimes, when she was just spacing out. It could occur at any moment. It was particularly disturbing when she was in the middle of speaking and it happened. not only was it rude, but sort of out there. Shows an extreme lack of focus, but her friends just seemed to laugh when it happened. Oh yes, what was it he had said? “Lose something?”
The curtain of black locks that formed over her face parted as her head rose up from its bent position. The boy's grin was infectious, because her lips made the same motion of curving up, and it spread to her eyes. Everyone who knew Spencer, knew that she was definitely not the type to blow someone knew away. She was the girl you could meet, talk to for hours without being able to fit a name in until it was time to part. That's how it happened most of the time. Who knows, maybe she forgot her name sometimes and just decided to skip it. It wouldn't be surprising. She took the coin, watching him pick up the coins from his kneeling position for a moment. She hadn't actually expected someone to stop and help her, nor act like big flashing words that said "Go Around!". He seemed to be useful for both, even without any electrical attatchments.
"Yeah... thanks," She looked back to the coins to pick up the last few and put them into the cup before continuing. "I was looking like a loner down here by myself. The kids were probably gonna come beat me with a stick and take all my coins if you hadn't come." With this, she stood up, eyeing a 4 year old walking by her. She really did love kids, and was only joking. Her face held all the answers, it wasn't solemn and boring. It almsot never was. She was always too busy acting out some random scenario to look boring. unless that scenario happened to be boring. "So what, do you have a neice here, a baby sister. You look like a pretty grown man. I don't think you should be in here alone, 'cause if you are, it's kind of sad..." Her lips caged something of a lop sided smirk, letting the boy know she was only joking with him. She was here by herself, and she wouldn't really consider herself sad. No one had to take pity on her, she was brilliant. well, in her own personal views, anyways.
