"Are you done or not?" Eveleigh yelled.
"Wait, I'm collecting money. Oh, what's your name?" Chen Zhao was taking notes.
"Pete."

"If you lose, you'll pay us all, right?"
"Of course. You have so many people. I won't even dare to not pay up, right?"

"No, no way. You're cheating." Eveleigh couldn't figure this out, so she reflexively thought that Chen Zhao was cheating. It wasn't possible under everyone's scrutiny though. "Did you step on the line?"
"Go look."
The line was drawn in white paint. It was easy to see if he stepped on the line or not.
