A hand came from nowhere, coming down on Andrew's shoulder. The teen jerked with shock, quickly darting around to see who had touched him.
"Hi there, did I scare you?" the effeminate voice said, setting off sparks of anger in Andrew's mind. He'd know that voice from anywhere, as much as he wished he didn't. With his best effort at seeming friendly on the outside, he shook his head at Paul, who had Morgan behind him.
"Not at all, Paul. Not at all."
"Oh good," Paul lisped. "You really have to stop being so jumpy. You'll just die of fear." With his hand still on Andrew's shoulder, Paul bent over in the most suggestive way, sticking his ass out in his tight pants as he received his card and added some cash to it. Andrew rolled his eyes, moving himself out of Paul's touch as he went over to Morgan. By the look on his face, Morgan could tell that his friend didn't like the way things were going.
Andrew gestured Morgan closer to him as they both moved out of Paul's earshot, whispering to each other. "Why the hell did you bring Richard Simmons with you? You were supposed to come alone!" Andrew said.
Morgan shrugged and shook his head. "I tried but once he found out where I was going he wouldn't leave me alone!" Andrew began to roll his eyes. "Come on! You know my Mom wouldn't have let me leave him! Ever since he came out of the closet she's been forcing him on me!"
"Yeah well, he should've stayed in there," Andrew remarked while Morgan went to get his card. "At least he's not my brother."
Morgan put his money on his card, and soon after the three of them found themselves in the main game room, surrounded by arcade machines. Paul led the way, while Morgan and Andrew trailed behind, talking to each other.
"You get with Jessica yet?" Morgan asked.
Andrew's face sunk as he looked away. "Pfft. Nah. I've been trying all week but I don't think she's coming onto me."
"You're going to try to get her to the prom with you?"
"Hell yes. What does anybody else have that I don't have?"
Their chatting came to an end when they noticed Paul stopping at a door. They looked up to see a giant blue neon laced sign with an image of Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails. The text beside them read, 'Sonic Ultra.'
"Oh wow, Sonic!" Paul said. He clasped his hands together then pointed at the door. "Let's play this one!"
Andrew and Morgan looked at each other, Andrew whispering to Morgan. "Now's our chance, let's dump him."
