Chapter 23 - Grace Teslow
Keely felt like she was getting ready to go on a crime scene investigation in the game she was playing. She was shooting every target in sight with her bright pink virtual gun... and having the time of her life! She had never had so much fun in her entire life.
"Phil, this is the best game ever! I never knew that shooting targets could be so much fun!" she said, continuing to blow up everything on the screen. Phil was sitting there grinning at her. He knew for a fact that she would be better than him at that game... he would get laughed at really hard if he played. He didn't want to risk it so he just didn't play at all. He was thankful that Keely never asked him if he wanted to play.
When she finished, Phil asked her to play air hockey. She said yes and Phil popped the coins into the machine and they started playing.
"Oh, come on, Phil... stop going easy on me! I know you can do better than this."
"Oh, believe me, Keel, I AM doing my best. I suck at arcade games."
Keely didn't say anything more as she continued to whip Phil's little future butt. The score was 2 to 5, Keely in the lead.
"Yay! I actually scored another goal!" yelled Phil as he jumped up in the air and did a short victory dance. Keely laughed.
"Alright, Phil... be prepared, cuz I'm gonna whip your little future hiny!" she said as she hit the puck as hard as she could. However, she hit it a little too hard and it bounced off the table and hit an innocent man playing Wave Rider 360. He fell off of the "surfboard" and hit the wall, not knowing what hit him. Keely put on her innocent puppy face and casually walked over to the man.
"Sir, I am SO sorry! Is there anything I can do? Oh my god, I'm so sorry...!" she said.
"It's okay, it's okay. Just a little accident. I know you didn't mean to. It actually didn't hurt that bad." Keely smiled.
"Are you sure I can't do anything?"
"I'm sure, thanks"
"Okay, thank you."
The man nodded his head. Phil, however, was standing facing the other way laughing like a maniac. His ears were as red as a tomato, and his mouth was so wide open that he probably could have swallowed a jawbreaker whole without choking. Keely walked over to him, trying to stop herself from laughing.
"And what is so funny?" she asked, laughing as well.
"Gee, I don't know... maybe it has something to do with your graceful little stunt," he laughed.
"Yeah, I thought so. Anyway, let's just finish our game. I'm still gonna beat you, ya know."
"That's what you think!" he exclaimed as he made two goals in a row. Keely's mouth dropped open widely. The score was now 4 to 5. But then Keely made another goal, which left it 4 to 6. One more goal and she would win!
"Oh, boy, Keel... I'm so gonna lose."
"Ya got that right, Diffy!" she yelled. She hit the puck and it went in. She had won the game. She started jumping up and down like a maniac losing her mind and Phil was just standing there smiling at her.
"Well, Keel, you beat me... like you said you would."
"Yeah. So do I get a prize?" she asked, walking towards Phil very slowly, curling her blonde hair and grinning, looking straight into Phil's eyes.
"You sure do!" he said. He then leaned into her and gave her a kiss. "Was that the kind of prize you were hoping for?"
"How did you know?"
"Gee, I don't know," he said and grinned. Keely put her hand in his and they walked to the elevator, tired of the arcade.
