The local arcade was always crazy, especially once all the schools had finished or when school was closed completely, but today was unlike no other. People lined the streets leading up to the crammed establishment, the normal rumbling of the machines and cacophony of sound effects were drowned out by amazement and people muttering amongst themselves. You managed to weave through the crowd towards the front, everybody too busy to notice you as you briskly walked amongst the masses.

At the summit of the people, phones created a wall of camera flashes and video recordings, it wouldn't take long for most of them to be plastered on social media and even some of the more popular news outlets.

At the head of all this attention, a girl who must have been not much more than a teenager, stood at the foot of an old machine. Her face remained emotionless and nonchalant as her hands moved at breakneck speeds, hastily darting from button to button so fast that they became a blur, the scoreboard that sat atop the machine rose... one million... two million, it could barely keep up with her.

You could only watch in amazement in all your years spending money and time there you could barely even get this game to start yet there she was acting like it was putting the circle block through the circle hole.

She turned her head to the side and released a coy wink into the onslaught of people, sending some of the crowd into a frenzy. From the muttering of the people around you that this was Hana Song, somewhat of a celebrity but you were never one to follow that kind of scene.

With bright colours firing from the screen, she took a deep bow, signed her name on the arcade case and admired her name sitting at the very top of the scoreboard and walked away towards the exit.

"Not bad." It took all of your might not to taunt her more as she briskly walked past you.

"Excuse me?" She stopped, fans reached from behind you trying to get her attention. "Do you think that you can do better?" You just shrugged with a cocky smirk pointed in her direction.

"Name a time, name a place, name a game." She stepped closely, her eyes staring deeply into yours.

"Tomorrow, here, Tetris." She walked past you, circling you with her eyes still locked onto yours.

'It's on' she mouthed as she was ushered out of the arcade.
