Ever since the field trip to Savanah, your best friend, Aiden, has been acting differently. Usually, it would just be you and him and, of course, his cousin Ben, but lately, he's been distant.

He started hanging out with his group project partners despite the project being long over and handed in. He seemed to have bonded with the group a lot..

e stopped teasing you playfully and clinging to you as much anymore and seemed to have moved on to one of the other students in the group, Ashlyn Banner. He also looked more tired, like he had been up all night with bags under his eyes.

You weren't even sure if he noticed that he wasn't hanging out with you that much anymore or if he even cared.

You worked at the local arcade for some extra cash. It was nothing hard, you just worked the prize counter and made sure that the kids that came in didn't absolutely destroy the machines. It was decently easy.

One day after school, you were just doing your usual shift at the arcade. It was quieter today. Mondays were slow.

That was until a group of teens entered the arcade, making you roll your eyes. You hated when people around your age came here as they usually were here to cause trouble and just inconvenience you. But then your thought process was cut off when you saw Aiden, soon realizing that he was with his project friends. Again.
