It's risky, but that straight is too tempting to pass up. Doing your best to sound like you know what you're doing, you coolly ask for just one card.
"Sounds like someone's got a good hand." Sunny grins, passing your card over. For someone who lost first, she sure seems to be in a good mood. "Maybe you're better at this than you let on." You know it's just a joke, but she actually sounds a little impressed, and that makes you even more confident that you've made the right choice. Feeling a little proud of yourself, you look at your new card...and find that it is exactly what you needed! You're holding the jack of clubs, completing your straight. You think you manage to hide your smile until everyone's cards are shown, but you beam with pride when you see that you have the strongest hand yet again.
"Looks like I win again!" you announce, a little louder than you intend. You clear your throat and force your smile down to an awkward smirk, expecting some annoyed eye-rolling from the other girls, but they don't even seem to have minded your unnecessary volume. Serena's last this time, with ace-high easily losing out to the others' pairs, but the whole table is more focused on you.
"Ah, crap. And here I was, hoping you wouldn't be good. Guess I'm still the worst player at the table." Clem comments, pouting without actually seeming at all upset.
"That was ballsy, going for the straight when you only traded one card. Nice one." Ellie grins.
"Yeah, but this was just good luck. That's a big part of poker, obviously, but the probability of it keeping up for the whole game is so unlikely that-"
"Sunny. Sunny, it's okay, we know." Ellie laughs, causing the teen prodigy's cheeks to flush.
"Eheh, yeah, sorry. You know how it is. Work-talk and stuff. Anyway, good job." Sunny adds sheepishly, giving you a small nod before returning her attention to dealing out the cards. You smile a little brighter. You're feeling pretty good about this game now, and you're actually having a lot of fun. You seem to be fitting in just fine so far, so maybe this won't be so bad.
You glance over at Serena as she slips off her stylish shoes, placing them neatly underneath her chair. You had expected her to take off her hat, and you say so out of curiosity.
"Oh, no. I like this hat quite a lot. I would much rather take off my shoes." Serena replies smiling absentmindedly as she draws her hand.
