The room lay in silence besides the clinking of ice nudging the side of glass as drinks are set down
on the felt table or the shuffling of the deck of cards by the dealer. Of the five teenagers allowed to
play at the high stakes poker game two remained. The other three stood anxiously by waiting to see
who would walk away the winner and with at least fifty thousand dollars lining their pocket.

"Are you in?" the dealer spit out while combing his mustache and wondering how he got to this place.
Why he was dealing in a shit hole underground game instead of a high rise casino and instead of young
teenagers to adults. He stared to his left, a pretty young blonde no more than seventeen raised her brow in
concentration at the cards in her hands. Supple lips meeting a wet pink tongue as it slid across to moisten
the suddenly dry mouth.

Blue eyes scrunched as they danced upon the cards, she didn’t have to bad a hand but it could be better,
nothing a little trading wouldn’t cure, "I’m in."

Her words laced with a soft teasing smirk that almost had her opponet ready to fold but in the end as honey
brown hair flipped over a tanned shoulder the words, "I"m in." came tumbling out with a matching smirk.

The dealer rolled his eyes and flipped three cards out on the table before glancing over to the brunette.
Her dark brown eyes sparkled in the lime light of the over hanging torch, "I bet it all." Her strong but
feminine hands pushed the poker chips into the middle of the table as the three other teenagers gasped and
their eyes snapped to the blonde who held her shock in with great trouble but it was masked quite well from
those who didn’t know her.

Another swipe of her tongue across those lush lips and a glance up at her opponet who sat back in idle wait
for her to make up her mind, "You can always fold Spencer."

A growl escape the young seventeen year old as her foot bounced under the table, "No Way Ashley. Let you
win, what kind of enemy would I be if I let that happen?"

Ashley scowled, she never did consider Spencer an enemy but the blonde thought horrible of her and friends
was an unlikely situation to find her self in so she sat back with a shrug not wanting to comment.
