It was the night after the eventful first day and a crowd of girls were gathered at the Navajo bunker. In the middle of the bunker were two girls each holding five cards, a bed in-between them, atop of it lying bills and other paraphernalia used for betting. Suddenly, Jocelyn put down her set with a smug expression.
"Sorry ladies, two pair, read them and weep," she said as she gathered the pot and the other girl threw in her cards with a heavy and sad sigh. Jocelyn sat back and counted her winning joyfully, "Well that's it, no more takers?" she asked looking around the room. The other girls didn't budge and it seemed like poker night was over when the screen door squeaked open and slammed shut. The crowd of girls parted to make way for Nora Allen who was wearing an oversized red and white letterman jacket with black writing saying 'The Flash' in scripted onto back and shades covering her big green-hazel eyes, swinging a cloth sack filled with coins, judging from the sound it made when she caught it with her other hand and swung it again.
She looked casually serious for poker with her overly curly hair which was pulled into a tight bun whereas Jocelyn was wearing a green scarf around her neck and zipped up grey hoodie and looked very high class with her brown hair pulled up into a high ponytail, the curls cascading down her back. Like Nora, after their little swim that afternoon her hair puffed up more than usual because of the humidity and the water that it was socked in, ruining the beautiful braid her mom had done for her.
"I'll take a whack at it." Nora said as she approached the bed, repeating what Jocelyn had said earlier that day. She upturned her sack and let the coins spill on the bed then sat down and put the shades atop her head. Jocelyn expertly shuffled the cards and looked coolly at Nora.
"Take a seat, Allen," she said in a very Harry-like manner. Nora sat down on the stool and put both hands on the bed.
"Deal me in,"
Jocelyn distributed the cards while she and Nora had a stare down. Nora, when she received her set, looked over at the girl next to her and smiled. The game became much more intense, just like the duel fought earlier and the crowd watched as the pit became filled with more coins, bills and other paraphernalia. It was nearing the end of the game and Nora once again gave Jocelyn that mischievous look of hers.
"Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm going to make you a little deal, loser get to jump in the lake after the game," she said, and her opponent smiled.
"Excellent," she agreed.
"Butt-naked," the crowd gasped in delight.
"Even more excellent; start unzipping Allen. Straight in diamonds." Jocelyn declared with a merry twinkle in her green eyes as she smugly looked over her opponent and laid down five cards from the Ace of Diamonds to the Five of Diamonds.
"Good Snow," Nora said, frowning albeit impressed, "But just not good enough; in your honour, a royal flush." Nora smirked with a shake of her head as she revealed her own set of cards with the King, Queen, Jack, Ten and Ace of Clubs. That wiped off the smile from Jocelyn's face as the crowd wowed and Nora gathered her winnings.

Jocelyn Snow walked towards the end of the dock, butt-naked, in the chilly night air as the other girls and Nora watched her, holding lighted candles. They were giggling madly and Nora watched with a content smile as Jocelyn turned around in her birthday suit and gave her a salute. She returned it and watched her perform a perfect dive into the cold black lake.
"Grab her clothes!" she exclaimed after the splash and the other girls hurriedly grabbed the neatly folded sweatpants, hoodie, shirt and pants leaving only Jocelyn's white sneakers.
