My "classmates" and I went on a trip with a "professor" in an arcade. We were required to play a game, and the one with the highest score would win a prize (or maybe the highest grade, I forgot). The machine is designed with a lot of coin slots on it, and painted with anime girls - the characters in the game. You had to kill monsters that would appear in the screen using the gun provided. I let my classmates go first. I watched them play and all of them got somewhat low scores. I knew I got a shot at it - I knew I'd beat them.
It was my turn now. I tried to insert a coin - a one peso coin - into the machine and I saw the sign "insert three tokens". Well duh! It would always be tokens. Why in the hell would I even insert one peso coins? I went to the ticket booth and asked for three tokens. I went back to the machine. I inserted all coins in one coin slot, and when I'm ready to play - the electricity went out. The screen went all noisy, and the machines all restarted. Once the machine was okay again, I inserted all coins again. Then the electricity went out again. It's like I wasn't even meant to play the game. My professor suggested that I was putting the coins in the wrong slot. I looked for another coin slot but then again, all of them was so thin that I doubted the tokens would even fit. Someone came - I didn't get to see his face but that's when my dream ended. I didn't know if I got to play the game or not. I didn't know if I got to win the highest score in the class. Who was that someone anyway?
