But It's Better if You Do

[Jacelynn Heron]

Back to school in a few weeks, back to homework overload and back to lack of free time. Meaning Jace had to make the best of her situation now before things got to be hectic once more. Her summer had been successful as far as pictures went and overall she was pleased with her socializing activities. Of course she was nowhere near where she'd been a couple years ago, but she had a certain blonde to thank for that. If he could just get out of her head, she'd probably free herself from the chastity belt that she practically chained to herself. Honestly, it was like all of her inner twirliness had been stripped away, leaving her completely void of all hormones.

It was gross. Like she was some old bag going through menopause or something.

Jacelynn knew it was harsh to think that way because she knew at some point in her life, she really would be going through that. However, it didn't make things any easier for her. She needed to get back out there and flirt her way back to the top. Back to being the 'holier than thou' bitch that everyone knew and either loved to hate or hated to love. The gray cloud that had been coming from her recently wasn't something she liked. Black and white, that's the way she preferred things.

What better place to find her inner beast again than the arcade in the mall? She could kick ass, take names and potentially get her groove back all in one fell swoop. Jace decided against dressing in one of her usual outlandish outfits and settled for something a little more simple for the final month of summer. She could always go back to eccentric if she really wanted to in college. Art kids didn't really have a dress code. Pulling her hat down a little more, she found herself smiling faintly. Batman, always be batman.

Kota had always been an arcade type of person. He liked games, especially video games, what could he say? He was a sucker for video games. Usually he came over here with his best friend Adam, but lately they both seemed to be pretty busy. It was actually kind of sad how they have fallen away from each other lately. It was something he needed to fix, even if it meant that he needed to just give Adam a surprised visit.


Pretty soon he would be too busy to even hang out at the arcade; college took up a big part of his life when it was actually going on. With his job, and now his girlfriend, time management was going to be hard to come by. Not to mention time with friends, he always needed to have that time. He went over to the machine that turned bills into coins. Taking a five dollar bill out of his wallet, he stuffed it into the atm type of machine, when it gave him his coins he stuffed them all in his pockets.

Looking around he chewed the inside of his check, he could already feel the ragged scar that was forming from his newly attained habit. He saw the batman machine and didn’t think twice about going over to get in line.
