Chapter 5:
After a while, we were getting kind of bored so we decided to play cards.
"I knock." I said, as Chris whispered in my ear, telling me what moves to make.
"I know you aint got no pat hand." Teddy said.
Chris took one of my cards and put it down, then took another and gave it to me.
"Now what?" I asked him.
"Just wait. It's his turn." He said back.
Teddy put down a card and picked up another one.
"What have you got?" Chris asked.
"35, you?"
"17."
"Shit Chris, can't you just let me win once?"
"Nope."
"We won?" I asked.
"Yes. Yes we did." Chris said, smiling at me with endearing eyes.
A minute later there was a knock at the door.
"Who goes?" Teddy asked.
"It's me. Ali." A girl's voice called.
They let a girl up. She had curly red hair. All of a sudden Chris's face lit up.
"H-hey Ali, sit here." He said, getting up and moving his seat.
"Thanks Chris." She sat down beside me, except not as close as Chris was.
"Ali, this is my cousin Jessie. Jess, this is Allison, or Ali." Gordon introduced us.
"Hi." She said. Ali was kind of a tomboy. Not at all prissy like Elisa. Ali was okay by me. She was wearing a t-shirt, that looked like something that had come out of Teddy's closet.
"Hey, you guys want to learn how to make some cash?" I asked.
"Sure." They all said at once.
"Can I have three cups?"
Gordie handed me some that were all bent and kind of old.
"Now I need a rock."
They all looked pretty confused.
"I have one!" Teddy said, taking a rock from his shoe. He handed it to me, and we all looked at him strangely.
"You keep a rock in your shoe?" I asked.
"Yeah, don't you?"
"No. May I ask why?"
"Just in case."
"In case of what?"
"I don't know, in case someone needs a rock."
"Okay. Anyway."
