Maricruz wasn’t sure why, beyond wanting to hang around her sister, she went to the arcade. The games were all in English and, in most cases, too violent for her liking. While Julieta was bound to be off her shift in an hour, she was too busy shouting at rambunctious teenagers to spend time with Mari. She decided to use the quarters her uncle sent her out with to play a game with what looked like a pizza missing a slice. She slipped a coin into “Pac-Man” and watched the screen confused as she died almost immediately, attacked by a ghost in her efforts to get dots. Frustrated, she looked over to a boy about her age, nudging him quickly. She still had a few lives and thought it stupid to squander them. “Want to play?” She asked quickly, gesturing to the controls.

   ❝ Uh—-sure? ❞

Amongst the other beeps and blips that fill the arcade, Mike almost missed the sound of her voice—-even after acknowledging it, he had to check twice to make sure she was talking to him. The request itself wasn’t all that strange, and truthfully neither was the girl that asked it, but it still seemed off-putting somehow ( perhaps it was the fact that she was still clearly in the middle of playing her own game, and Mike would never allow someone else to play for him—-a quarter is worth too much in here, afterall! ). Carefully, as if she’d swallow her question back up any second now, he slides the palm of his handle over the smooth plastic of the joystick, fingertips easily finding the colorful buttons on the other side of the machine. One last questioning glance is thrown her way, before the familiar music captures his attention and pac-man quickly appears on the screen, mouth open and ready to devour everything in front of him.

   ❝ Do you just need help figuring it out, or do you really want me to play the rest of your game? ❞

THOUGH NOTHING WILL KEEP US TOGETHER

A FRIEND is someone you'd do anything for. you lend them your cool stuff, like comic books and trading cards.

and, they never break a promise.
