Emerald's P.O.V

I brushed  through my hair as Ruby zipped up my dress. I curled my hair as Ruby did her makeup. Tonight was Casino Night and Ruby and I came prepared. Cameron thinks he still beats us out at cards backstage but uh, we just let him win. I finished my makeup and grabbed a small bag. I walked out of the Bunk Annex and fixed my rose gold converse.

"Who are you look good for tonight?" Ama giggled.

"No one in particular," I chuckled.

"Walker," Ruby coughed from the other room.

"Well there better be no Casino Bar Fight or I'm going to scream," Bexley laughed.

"Trust me, there won't. But ya'll better be ready for me and Ruby to play blackjack, that's our game," I laughed.

"I'm stronger in poker," Ruby stated as she came into the main room.

"The point of tonight is to have fun but to also talk with each other and work as team because that money will come in handy," Raven explained.

We all headed to the Dining Hall and we were each given $62 in Camp Phantom Lake money. I exchanged $30 of it for chips. I walked over to the poker table and sat down. All upperclassmen. I love being the youngest player.

"You know how to play?" The dealer asked.

"Yeah, I might just be a little rusty," I smiled as I fluttered my eyes, placing 10 poker ships down in my bet area.

The upperclassmen all looked at me if I was crazy. He dealt me my cards, I had a queen of hearts and a 3 of diamonds. I looked at the dealer in the eyes and tapped the table. The dealer dealt me a 7 of spades. I nodded and decided to give my luck a shot. I tapped the table once more and the dealer dealt me a ace of clubs.

"Blackjack," I smirked.

The dealer gave me 15 chips and nodded.

"So you know how to play," The dealer chuckled.

"If you've seen Backstage Blackjack then you know I do know how to play," I smiled softly.

"That's my twin," Ruby chuckled.

"Deal me in again," I smiled as I placed six chips in my bet spot, "Fill me in Ruby."

"I won twenty chips from my game of spoons," Ruby started, "Ama won one hundred chips from the hang from one minute game, Saskia won ten chips from the handstand competition, and the other girls are trying not to play anything because apparently they have bad luck."

I was dealt a Queen of diamonds and a jack of spades. I smirked.

I took 12 chips and held them out to Ruby, "Kiss them. You're my good luck."

Ruby rolled her eyes and kissed them. I placed them in the bet area and tapped the table. The dealer dealt me a ace of hearts and I smirked.

"Hell yeah," I laughed as the dealer slid over 27 chips, "That's enough of Blackjack. I'm go grab some food."

I tipped the dealer 3 chips and smiled at him. Ruby and I walked around seeing what games they have. Ama I believe has started figuring out what to do at at the hanging game. The total at the game right now that you could win is 50 chips. She's waiting. I love that girl.

"Emerald!" A voice said behind me.

I turned around and smiled at Walker, "Hey."

"You look, wow," Walker gawked. 

"Thanks," I blushed as I flattened my spaghetti strapped rose gold glittered skate dress, "You don't look to bad yourself."

"Thanks," Walker chuckled, "So I know that some people have been doing this but, you want to get married at the chapel?"

"What?" I chuckled.

"We get married, I give you a ring like we are supposed to get married and then we get two pictures, one for you and one for me," He explained.

"How much is it?" I asked.

"Ten chips," He stated, "I'll pay."

"And I'll pay for Ruby and mine's," Blake smiled.

"Whoever said we agreed?" Ruby and I laughed.

"Your blushes say otherwise," Blake and Walker chuckled.

I grabbed Walker's hand and ran to the chapel. Walker gave Alex the ten chips. Alex went through the fake wedding script and came to the end.

"Does anyone object to this marriage?" Alex asked.

Ava was about to say something but Ama grabbed a drink from someone and dumped it on her. She screamed and everyone laughed, including Alex.

"You may now HUG," Alex stated, emphasizing hug.

I pulled him into a hug after he slid the ring on my right ring finger. Once he pulled away I slid his finger on his right ring finger and smiled at him. I kissed he cheek and then he kissed mine.

"Noooo!" Jayce yelled from the other side of the room.

I pulled away and laughed. I hopped onto Walker's back and we took our pictures. We will be given to us later in the week to come. Ruby did the ceremony with Blake and took their pictures. All of a sudden we heard everyone clapping and screaming. I turned to where Ama was and she just one the five hundred chip jackpot.

"Holy crap dude!" I yelled as I ran over to her and pulled her into a hug.

"That was amazing!" Saskia laughed.

I pulled away and Ama grabbed the chips and cashed them in. She took the bills and put them in our mailbox which is behind the 'bank' table. I put my other money into our mailbox and I ran over to the poker table. I sat down and waited to be dealt in. Right now, I am I at table with a soaked Ava, Emmett who's in 12th, Hadley who's Cosette, Gavin who's in 10th, and Jasper who's in 7th. I was dealt two cards and I waited for everyone's cards to be dealt. Once everyone's cards were dealt, I picked up my two cards to see I had an Ace of spades and a jack of spades. I placed my start bid at five chips. Everyone else did also. 

"I raise you by one chip," Gavin nodded.

I nodded and placed one chip also. Jasper folded. The total number of chips right now is thirty-four chips. The dealer revealed three cards. The cards were a 7 of diamonds, a king of spades and 3 of hearts. 

"I bet you three chips," Ava grunted at me.

"I'll raise you three more," I laughed.

"I fold," Hadley grunted.

Emmett and Gavin put their six chips in the middle. We all checked and the dealer flipped over a card to reveal a 10 of spades. 

"I raise by three," Emmett chuckled. 

"Ha. All in," I laughed as I pushed the rest of my sixty-nine chips into the center.

Emmett chuckled and pushed the rest of his ninety chips into the center. Ava pushed the rest of her seventy chips in the center.

"I fold," Gavin groaned.

The dealer flipped over the last card to reveal a queen of spades. 

"Damn it," Emmett groaned, "Two pairs."

"Ha," Ava snickered, "A flush. Beat that Emerald."

"I just did," I laughed as I flipped my cards around, "A royal flush."

"No. Fucking. Way," Walker laughed.

"Yeah, way" I laughed as I pulled 229 chips to my area. 

Ruby collected the chips as I stood up. Walker picked me up and spun me around.

"Dang, I could just kiss you!" He smiled, "I mean, if you want to I'dー"

I cut him off with a kiss. People howled and cheered as I heard Jayce from the other side of the  room once more.

"Noooo!"
