Newton glanced at the lone man sitting at the table. He exchanged some of his cards for other favorable cards in the deck. Newton slowly moved out from behind the pillar. He focused on his target.

You three are coming," Nicolas explained.He was enjoying the spotlight his boat ride was putting him in."I only need five more people," Nicolas explained.Immediately, all the students rushed to Nicolas. He smugly picked out five of his favorites."Brokeboy and Robert, you're coming, but only to see it," Nicolas announced to Newton and his friend."Why can't I go on the yacht?" Robert asked."The fact that you are with a peasant like Newton makes you a peasant. It's more than you deserve anyway because you two made us fail the project," Nicolas said."Why don't you bring your limo around so we can all go at the same time," Nicolas suggested to Jeremiah. Jeremiah made a phone call and asked for his limo to be brought to him. "Why does the broke kid want to see a yacht?" Tonya started. Newton looked at Tonya from top to bottom.
