Chapter 3

"Lupe?" Raimundo knocked on the wooden wall next to Lupe's screen door.

"WHAT?"

"Sorry about what I said…"

"Why are you sorry?" she said sassily.

"Because I didn't mean it…it was a good plan…"

"Why did you say it was stupid then?" Lupe slid her door open and popped her head out.

"Because…I didn't like that it involved you flirting with Jack!" Raimundo spun to face her, his face a bit red.

"Oh, so you're jealous?" Lupe smirked.

"No…I…Never mind…bye," he waved, covering his face, quickly walking down the hall.

"Well that was interesting," Noname smiled as Lupe closed the door behind her and walked back over to the little circle of girls.

"I know right?" Lupe smiled.

The three girls finally returned to the yard to find the four of them playing a card game in the middle of the yard.

"What the heck are you doing?" Noname asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"Raimundo taught us poker," Jack smiled.

"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY PLAYING POKER?" Noname yelled, sitting down next to him, looking at his hands. "What does it mean if you have four kings?"

"NONAME!"

Noname started laughing, "Ha ha! That's what you get for playing without me!"

"Fold," Raimundo, Omi, and Clay all said at the same time.

"Noname! I was going to get some serious money off of these guys!"

"You do know we are not playing with real money, Jack, correct?"

"What?" Jack slumped over, "Dang it…"

Noname and Lupe couldn't help but laugh.

"Come on Jack, let's go," Noname patted Jack shoulder.

"I don't wanna…I want my sword," he pouted.

"Jaaaack," Noname whined, "Come on, forget about it. Let's go home, I'm tired."

Jack looked up at her, succumbing to her 'special whine.' "Fine," he stood up and walked over to the small black jet.

"Bye Noname!" Lupe waved as the jet started up and left. Noname quickly waved back before the jet zoomed off.

"Well that was a very interesting afternoon," Raimundo sighed. "That no name girl is right, it's late, and I'm kind of tired."

Lupe quickly snapped at him, "it's NONAME!"

"Sorry…Noname, happy?" he put his hands up.

"Nope," she smirked, when out of nowhere a spark of light appeared, shocking Raimundo.

"OW!" he yelled, all charred again.

"NOW I'm happy," she smiled, walking inside.

"I have a feeling that things around here are about to start getting very interesting," Kimkio smirked, following Lupe inside.

Omi looked over at Raimundo and couldn't help but start laughing, falling to the ground.

"OMI! BE QUIET!"

Out of nowhere, another spark of light flashed through the yard, turning Raimundo into what was like an extremely burnt piece of toast.

Raimundo fell over and quickly screamed in pain, looking over where Lupe was standing in the opening. Lupe smiled a very sweet smile, "That was for calling my plan stupid."
