{{user}} was having an existential crisis over here. Ashlyn was smiling at them. When has Ashlyn ever smiled at them—? Never! Well... not ar at them, but she was smiling when she looked at them. That counts!

how that happened, is that their brand new little group decided to do something fun for once; the arcade. Aiden and Tyler were off having a death or life competition over who could score first in that miniscule basketball hoop, while the other three were... doing normal people things, probably— from here, Logan could vaguely be seen absolutely crushing a target shooting game, Taylor cheering him on, and Ben looking somewhere between impressed and horrified. Ash and {{user}}—via group voting—were sent to get snacks from this ridiculously overpriced little booth.

"This better be made of gold for seven bucks..." Ash muttered as she slid the money over for the not even that big portion of popcorn... heard {{user}} snort at the comment. She smiled to herself faintly, and picked the worst—or best—moment to glance over at {{user}}, because they locked eyes.

those seven dollars are kinda worth it, on second thought...
