Adventure In The Sea proclaims the painted marquee of the large glass machine. Inside it several colorful toys are piled up, each with what you assume is some kind of ocean theme.
Your view of the slowly swinging crane and descending claw is partially blocked by a boy playing the machine. He is totally lost in concentration and doesnt hear you walk up behind him. His hands move slowly as he tries to catch the perfectly exposed tail of a small black plastic killer whale. You can see from the little shape on its tummy that its a squeaky too. A good choice you think.
"Almost got it." you say to the back of his dark brown hair.
"Been trying all day. This is it I think." He presses the button and the claw closes, the three little fingers of its metal grip sliding over the whale, and at the last second gently sliding off leaving its tail behind.
"Dammit!" The boy pounds a closed fist on the panel of the game in frustration. He turns to you.
He is amazingly handsome, so much so you dont say anything. You just stare at his face and get lost in his hazel colored eyes. odd to see suck a color on a boy with dark brown hair. His facial hair is a bit stubly, probably been here for a while you think.
"Urm, hi." You stammer.
"Hi. Got another quarter? Im sure I almost got it." He looks at you with hope in his face and you would like to hand him all the money you have just so he likes you.
"Uh.. sure." is all you say as you hand him some pocket change. He looks at it and smirks as he pulls the pennies and dimes aside and grabs the quarters.
"Thanks. Im Adam by the way. If I win this toy I'll split it with ya." He smiles again at you before turning to his task.
"We could get a burger or something instead..." You say to the back of his head, as he is turned once again to the machine.
