"Name and profession" The large man behind the check-in counter stated in a bored tone. His name tag read Mr. Bitters. Well the name surely fits.
May and Ai walked forward. "May and Ai Locke" May said confidently. "I'm an actress" She gave a curt nod and looked at Ai, then back to Mr. Bitters. "I'm an artist" Ai grinned happily. Out of all the girls in the group, she was the happiest to be here. Ai had been in numerous art types, photography, sculpting, writing, and painting, ever since she was a little girl; she had always been the creative type. When she learned that they all made it into the Palm Woods, she called practically every one of her relatives to inform them of the spectacular news.
"Here are your keys. You're in room 112" He spoke nonchalantly, handing them both keys.
May and Ai stared intensely at their keys, wondering what was held in their new 'house'.
The two stepped aside so one of the other girls could register.
Lexie walked forward, far more awake now. Her hands were stuffed in her pockets. "Lexie Irvington" She said, loudly chewing bubble gum and popping a bubble near Mr. Bitters face. "Instrumentalist, by the way" She smirked.
Mr. Bitters gave her a shrewd smile and threw her a key. "Room 114" He sighed. He could already tell this group would be trouble.
Rose quickly walked up, cutting Saige in line. "Rose Montgomery, model" She said quickly, her purse dangling from her elbow as she impatiently tapped her foot.
Mr. Bitters quickly wrote down her information and handed the brunette a key. "Room 116" he said, wiggling his nose as if he smelt something bad. Rose looked him up and down, partially offended, then walked off beside May. May quickly cooled down her friend by complementing her Gucci glasses.
Next, Saige walked to Mr. Bitters. A huge smile was plastered upon her face. "'Morning!" She rang excitedly, practically jumping off the walls with the joy that was bursting out of her.
Mr. Bitters kept his poker face. "Name and profession" He said.
Saige turned her head slightly. "Come on, lighten up buddy!" She laughed. "Saige Keelson, singer" She proudly spoke. Even though Saige was quite a character, she had a voice that could do anything and sound amazing doing it.
"Room 118" He handed her the key, praying the group's number would cease.
Finally, Karina walked up, her little green book propped under her arm.
"Karina Mitchelson. Dancer" She spoke softly.
Mr. Bitters waited for some outburst or sudden change of personality, but she seemed the most normal out of the fiasco group. He gave her a sincere smile. Her quiet demeanor was pleasant… Unlike the rest of her friends.
"Room 120" He nodded his head and looked at the group, now faking a smile. "Please abide by all rules and have a Palm Woods day!" He checked behind them to make sure no more people were there and he sulked into his office.
"Poor man, he seems so depressed!" Ai whimpered, sympathizing the sour man.
Rose rolled her eyes. "Whatever. He seems extremely rude" She crossed her arms over her chest and held her head up high, looking away from the group.
"Enough with the arguing! Let's check out our new rooms!" May said giddily as she ran to the elevator with her luggage in hand. The girls quickly followed behind her.
Just as they were going to pile in the elevator, yells became apparent from down the hall. Quickly, they got closer and closer.
"Who the heck is yelling?" Lexie asked, confused.
Suddenly, from around the corner, four boys came bolting towards the elevator.
One was very tall with brown hair that was spiked up, the other was a little shorter than him with blonde swooped hair, another was even shorter and had black hair, and the last one was Latino wearing a hockey helmet.
The boys were about to run past the girls when they noticed them watching them like lunatics.
"Stop!" The tall brunette spoke.
The blonde ran in the back of him, then the black haired boy, then the Latino one. Almost caused a domino effect.
"Hello ladies" The brunette said, fixing his hair and winking at the group of girls.
Rose rolled her eyes as Ai giggled quietly. Karina, Saige, and May watched with caution. Lexie looked him up and down and shook her head in disapproval.
"Are you guys new?" The Latino asked excitedly, looking at each one of the girls. "Wow, your hair is awesome!" He said, looking at Saige.
Rose grinned. "Why thank you" She smiled, flipping her hair back.
Lexie rolled her eyes. "He was talking to Saige" She chuckled, looking at her white-haired friend.
Saige looked at Carlos and grinned. "Thanks! It's like my signature look, ya know?"
"Oh! My hockey helmet is my signature look!" He grinned.
"That's so unique!" She grinned.
"Okay, excitement overload" Lexie put her hands up then leisurely leaned against the wall.
The boys looked at one another then towards the girls, as if they spoke with their minds. "I'm James" The brunette said, winking once more. "Kendall" The blonde spoke, stuffing his hands in his pockets and giving the bunch a warm smile. "I'm Logan, nice to meet you guys" The black haired one said. "And I'm Carlos!" The Latino yelped excitedly. He was almost as bad as Saige when it came to excitement levels…
"I'm May" She smiled towards Kendall, believing he was fairly cute. Cross that, very cute. "I'm Ayanna. But you can call me Ai!" She gave a small wave and large grin, her sun-shiny attitude radiating. "Lexie" She said, giving a curt nod. Rose flipped her hair back and stepped forward "I'm Rose" She smiled charmingly as if she was in a beauty contest, trying to impress the judges. "I'm Saige! You guys seem so cool!" She burst. The group looked at Karina as she quietly read her book. She quickly looked up. "Hm? Oh. My apologies. I'm Karina" She gave a smile then looked back down, her fantasy world calling her to return.
"Is that Tragedies of Terrance? By Elias Wilde?" Logan asked, stepping towards the small woman carefully reading the book. Her eyes shot up towards Logan and slowly, she closed her book.
"Um, yes. It is" She cocked her head to the side like a dog when you mention the word 'treat'. "How did you know?" She gave a gentle smile.
"It's one of my favorite books! I recognized by the emerald green cover…" He smiled. He then noticed the color of Karina's eyes and smiled. "It's the same color as your eyes" He chuckled.
A large blush appeared on Karina's face as she gave a curt nod, unsure of what exactly to say. Logan nervously rubbed the back of his neck, wondering if he should have said anything at all.
An awkward silence filled the hallway.
"I know who you guys are!" Ai spoke up, breaking the infinite silence. "You're Big Time Rush! One of the greatest boy bands ever" She giggled and looked at her sister for approval. She wasn't necessarily a fan of the group, but she thought it would make them feel confident and more open if she gave them a compliment.
May slowly shrugged at her sister, not knowing the boys in front of her.
"Yeah, we are" Kendall grinned. "The guys and I were guessing you're new here" He chuckled at May's shrug. "Are you a band, or what?" He questioned.
"Actually we all do something different" May grinned. "I'm an actress, Ai is an artist, Lexie is an instrumentalist, Rose is a model, Saige is a singer, and Karina is a dancer"
"Wow! You guys are like a superhero group of talented people!" Carlos grinned, excited to have so many new people in the building.
Logan looked at Carlos. "That doesn't make any sense, Carlos…" He rubbed his temples.
"But you guys really do sound talented" Kendall covered for his friend, making sure the compliment was still given.
"We know" Rose said, smirking and eyeing James through her sunglasses as he couldn't get his eyes off her.
"Well, since you're all new here, would you like a tour?" Logan asked, looking at the guys. Kendall grinned towards May. "How 'bout it?" He chuckled.
"I don't know…" Rose began, unsure of what her friends thought.
"Come on, Rose. We'll be completely lost if we don't know figure out everything around here" Ai giggled.
"It can't hurt" Lexie shrugged and Karina nodded in agreement.
"Oh this is gonna be so much fun!" Saige burst; jumping in the air as she excitedly clapped her hands.
May looked at her friends and back towards Kendall, a large smile plastered upon her freckled face. "Sounds awesome!"
The boys led the girls around the entire hotel, naming off rooms of celebrities, where you can't get caught by Mr. Bitters, and what areas to avoid. During the tour, Kendall and May constantly chatted, discussing different subjects. It was very comfortable for the two to talk to one another. Ai and Saige excitedly watched everything, asking far too many questions. Carlos was always there to answer Saige's questions, however. Rose was continuously being pestered by James, who kept complimenting, and not so subtly flirting, with her. Personally, she wanted to kick him in the area and go on with her life. Karina strode slowly behind the group with Logan flanking her sides. He numerously asked questions, trying to strike a conversation, but Karina would only give a few 'uh huh' 'oh yea' 'sure' 'okay' statements that barely slipped her breath. Lexie observed the building from the rear, a few feet behind the others.
Just then, Kendall brought the group to their favorite spot.
"And this, ladies, is the Palm Woods pool" He grinned, looking to see May's reaction.
"Wow! This is great" May grinned as Ai jumped forward, almost falling into the pool if May hadn't held her back.
"We never had pools like this in the mountains…" Karina spoke quietly as Logan looked at her.
The girls gawked over the pool as Lexie seemed uninterested. "Guys, it's just a pool" She chuckled.
"But it's a large, gorgeous pool full of gorgeous people!" Rose said, examining the cute boys in the water and giving them a wave, then taking off her glasses and winking in their direction.
James' mouth practically fell to the floor. "What? Am I not dreamy enough?" He yelled, throwing his hands in the air. Rose rolled her eyes, but couldn't help a smirk develop from his stupidity.
Kendall and May laughed at James.
As the group was beginning to leave, Lexie heard someone playing the guitar. It was an awesome tune, nothing she had heard before. Finally, her eyes caught onto a guy with long brown hair and sunglasses who was happily strumming away. He was surrounded by girls who were practically drooling over him. What was so special about him? Other than the fact he played the guitar like a pro.
When Logan passed her, she forcefully grabbed his arm. "Who is that?" She demanded, looking at Logan then the boy who peacefully sat under the palm tree, girls complimenting him after he finished his piece.
"Oh, him? That's guitar dude! The best guitarist in Palm Woods" He chuckled, hoping Lexie would lessen her grip. It soon began to hurt. "Um, Lexie…can I have my arm?"
Lexie felt anger rise in her. Best guitarist in the world, huh? She quickly let go of Logan's arm as he ran off to find the group. "We'll see about that" She huffed and turned on her heel, following Logan.
