There were very few occasions that Gia was glad her dad was a banker. But, Mr. Feeny's latest project was definitely one of them.

"In conclusion, our company was able to climb up the market, completely dominating Minkus and Topanga's." The girl said, flashing a sweet smile towards her girl best friend, and drawing her market's line.

It was safe to say that Gia Watts knew some things. 

"Excellent, Miss Watts, Miss Davis, you can return to your seats." The two returned to their seats, and Gia flashed a grin at Shawn. "Now, which company's next."

"Mr. Feeny," Cory spoke up. "This project wasn't due to another week."

"This is just a progress report, Mr. Matthews. Those companies who've made progress should have no problem."

Shawn got up and whispered to Cory. "We have a problem. Cory followed him and they walked to the front of the room.

"Our investment plan is... proceeding." Cory said as Shawn drew a straight line across the board.

"We are proud to report we have no losses."

"And we haven't fired anybody, and nobody quit."

"They haven't even started yet." Minkus grinned.

"No?" Mr. Feeny asked in mock surprise. The bell rang, and Cory and Shawn pattered grins on their faces. "Come here." He told the two as everyone left.

Gia passed by Shawn with a grin. "You're dead. Have fun."

"Shawn Hunter, I swear on all things holy-"

"I didn't take you for the swearing type, Gi." Shawn laughed. The girl was practically fuming. She had found out that Shawn and Cory had decided to start gambling, and she was NOT having it. Gia had seen the effects gambling had on her family, and she didn't want that to be Cory and Shawn.

"Your lucky I tolerate you." The girl warned before continuing. "Please, just promise me it'll stop."

"Okay, it'll stop."

"After careful market analysis product testing, and strategic planning, we bet on Tuna Melt to win." Cory announced to the class.

If looks could kill, Shawn Hunter would be 6 feet under, and Gia Watts would be arrested for murder.

"You gambled your ten dollars?" The girl asked through gritted teeth

"It's one thousand." Feeny corrected, causing the girl to give him a tight smile, glaring at Shawn.

"Oh, right, right."

"You invested your money in a racehorse?" Mr. Feeny double checked.

"And we won," Cory nodded.

"Call the police, Mr. Feeny." Gia rolled her eyes, "They're cheaters."

If only the class knew how real that sentence was.

"Well, now, Mrs Watts has a point, Mr. Matthews. Although, it is also illegal for minors to bet." Feeny agreed, but Cory, as always, didn't listen.

"Yes, she does. Except in this assignment, we're supposed to be businessmen and businesswomen. And, as we all know, it's perfectly legal for men and women to play the ponies." Cory smiled and Gia turned her glare towards him.

"Although I don't condone gambling in any form, Mr. Matthews and Mr. Hunter have demonstrated the basic tenet of American free enterprise—the bigger the risk, the reward."

"Risk, risk, risk." Cory sang.

"Reward, reward, reward." Shawn ended before they high-fived.

Gia continued to glare at the two

"I think they were very bold." Topanga said, and Gia just rolled her eyes.

"I think they're very stupid."

If there was one thing Gia Watts didn't expect, it was to see Shawn Hunter in a library. "Hey." The boy simply said, going to sit down where she was.

"Hey." The girl replied, before grinning. "I thought you were allergic to libraries."

"I think I still am, but we're working on my intolerance."

The girl grinned, putting the book she was reading in her backpack. "So," the girl said awkwardly. "Is there like a reason you're here, or..."

"Well... ya know, it's February 14."

"Yeah." The girl nodded.

"Well um- I know you get a lot of Valentines, and you know that the girls are all over me," Gia snickered at that, "But like, would you wanna be my Valentine?" The boy asked, pulling out a small box of chocolates.

Gia grinned. She knew for a fact that Shawn didn't exactly have money lying around, and that made the small gift so much better. She laughed, throwing her arms around his neck and planting a quick kiss on his cheek.

"Yeah, yeah I'll be your Valentine, Hunter."
