And then the insults started. Hallie told her that her eyes were were much closer together than hers were. Told her she would grow into her ears. People started giggling by this point and I was shocked at what I was hearing. As was Annie. She was offended. She felt that her teeth were a little crooked and felt her nose could be fixed. Why was she being so mean?! I never known either of them to act this way.
But she still wasn't finished. Do you wanna know the real difference between the two of us? But then Annie took over from there. Her own kind of snide smirk and sass in her tone! My mouth was hung like fish out of water. My sisters were being so mean to each other but that's the problem they had no idea we were all sisters. Let me see she began. I know how to fence and you don't? Or I have class and you don't? I facepalmed. Take your pick. Annie told her.
And then the group of us get in to break it up before any real fighting could happen it was all verbal currently and while they were sassy and insulting they hadn't been I guess terrible. Annie Hallie I mean Hallie Annie the lady in charge turned to them. I mean whoa! She exclaimed. While they glared at each other. That night the staff were doing their own thing and the girls were sitting around the cabin playing poker. Annie was really good at this game and had just won again. Sorry ladies two of a pair read 'em and weep. She laid out her cards.
And she asked to go again but there was no one else left she took everything. And then Hallie came in. I'll take a whack at it. She said back to Annie. Bad to the bone was playing behind her. She took a sock and dumped out her money on the table and they sat down and laid out the cards. Take a seat Parker. Annie told Hallie. She had a leather jacket on and her glasses as she put them up on her head. Deal me in she told Annie. So she passed out the cards their eyes don't leave each other's gaze. As Hallie tapped her fingers on her cheek. Waiting for Annie to finish dealing.
And so it began. The girls picked up their cards like they were cowgirls at a shootout. Hallie's friends sat behind her while Annie's did the same. They both seemed very happy with their cards. Then they started getting out the big bucks. More and more money began to pile up. Soon it was hair ties and nail polish and anything they had on them or could find. And then Hallie spoke up after what seemed like forever. Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'll make you a little deal. She turned to Annie. Loser jumps into the lake she started while Annie agreed. But then she said butt naked. Annie agreed then thought she had won. Start stripping Parker she smiled back at her. She had all diamonds Ace through 5. While that was impressive Hallie had actually won the game.
You're good James but not good enough. Hallie told her. In your honor a royal flush. Hallie showed her the cards as Annie paled. Someone other than me had beat her at a game of poker just like Martin hoped for but probably not like this. All the girls laughed as Annie then stripped and made her way to the docks. I had gone to check on the girls. They were being too quite. And that worried me after this afternoon. I saw someone down by the docks they had candles with them. Annie turned around saluted at Hallie and then dove in. I saw this and was shocked. Probably more than I was after their fencing match.
Why did we think it was a good idea to leave tween girls alone when you know they don't like each other? I groaned art the back of my throat. I was even more surprised yet partially not all when Hallie decided it was a good idea to take her clothes. As they all ran off none of them seeing me and leaving just her shoes. Alright fine if that's the way you want to play then let the games begin. Staff were allowed to have their phones in case of emergencies. I texted Jason to bring me extra clothes. I met up with him took the clothes then went to Annie. Hey kid. I greeted her. You ok? Nothing but my pride is hurt. Thanks. Don't worry about giving them back. I told her. As I handed her an oversized on her one of my camp hoodies and sweatpants. This is why I always tell you no strip poker.
