Friday Night
The Tipton Hotel was
flooded with guests Friday night. People were checking in from all
over the world for the many things that were beginning to happen in
Boston. From the first home game of the baseball season to the kick
off of a tour with three famous stars – Jesse McCartney included –
were attracting more and more guests to one of the most famous
hotels.
London Tipton crossed her legs on one of the couches in the lobby. She watched as people stepped inside, their many suitcases being handed in by the doorman. Estaban and the new bellman under training, Zac, a young seventeen year old boy working his way up the hotel business, began stacking them in a luggage cart even before told. And within seconds, they were brought up to rooms.
The candy counter was, as usually, was busy. Little kids came up with five-dollar bills and left with three boxes of candy; teenagers checking in had brought the previous three issues of teen magazines they missed on their travels to get here; and in between the jobs, Madeline was finishing up the inventory check.
"Maddie!" London screamed, getting to her feet, the Valentine designer heels clicking as she walked across the lobby to the candy counter. "I need a magazine. Quick."
Maddie scoffed, closing her laptop, turning her back. She handed her back the latest magazine of Famous Stars, Jesse McCartney gracing the cover. "I still can't believe he's coming back," she muttered in amazement.
"Who's coming back?"
Zack and Cody stepped down the steps, and were standing next to London, a candy bar already both in their hands. "Jesse McCartney; he's on his tour from now until Christmas," Maddie added, snatching the two candy bars. Before they could protest, she simply said, "Your mom said no candy."
"Awesome!" Zack said with a sly grin. He had a lot of fun with Jesse the last time he came. "But this time, you two aren't going to stalk us."
"Stalk you? I'm married to him!" London shouted.
Cody and Maddie rolled their eyes together. "When's he coming back?" Cody asked.
"I think next weekend," Maddie called, taking a magazine and breezing through it. "I still need to do an article on him. The nuns said I couldn't submit it because it didn't have enough information. Or, true information, as London said."
"Hey, it's not my fault you didn't tell the truth," London replied.
"Well, this time, I'm going to get an interview without your help."
"Maybe I can come," Cody chipped in, and Maddie easily agreed.
"Nah, he'll be busy with me. Of course, I'll be kickin' his butt at the video games," Zack interrupted. "So he won't have time for your school newspapers."
"You don't even read ours, Zack," Cody argued.
"Whatever it is, I know Trevor's coming back too," Maddie called with a smile.
"That smart boy? The Merit Scor-la-or?" London asked, putting the magazine back in the stack.
"Yes – the Merit Scholar. He sent me an e-mail that their having another convetion."
"More nerds?" London whined.
"Yes, more nerds," Maddie answered, and both of the twins laughed. She slipped her hand under the desk and pulled out a 'Closed' sign, slamming it on the front counter. She walked out front, and gripped the twins' shoulders, pulling them towards the elevator. "Your mom told me to send you two to your room."
Zack moaned, stepping into the elevator.
As the elevator music began playing as they zoomed up the floors, Cody noticed something was different about Zack. Zack was now acting somewhat different than he usually did, and it was hard for Cody to figure out what was wrong. They were past puberty; Cody was usually the one with the problem about their parents' divorce; Max and Tapeworm had been out of the city for the whole summer. What possibly could be wrong?
