The four climbed out of the vehicle and stood in front of luxurious hotel that had to at least be fifteen stories high. It was a beautiful white that seemed to glow in the afternoon sun and the lights on the sign helped add to its sparkle. The entire thing seemed to glow like a full moon. The analogy made Gwen snicker to herself as her thoughts went to Isaac's kwami.
Gwen followed closely behind Chloe, who was still dragging Isaac along with her, as she lead them inside of the glamorous building. The inside was even more impressive than the outside. High ceilings with sparkling chandeliers, polished floors that showed their reflections almost perfectly, the smell of wax and cleanser wafting through the air giving the impression of cleanliness throughout, and impressive looking people from workers to visitors roaming around making Gwen and Isaac feel insignificant compared to them.
An older man with a balding head and a pudgy body noticed the group and cheerfully made himself over to them. He wore a simple suit with a bright sash across his chest. "Welcome!" He announced proudly, spreading his arms out as if going to give them all a large hug. "I am Mayor Bourgeois. I trust you had a nice trip here?"
"We did!" Gwen replied cheerfully, wanting to make a good first impression towards the mayor.
"Wonderful! Your rooms are all set and ready for you. You'll be right across from each other. I trust we won't have any problems with the arrangement though, right?" He raised a brow at the two of them as if he was suspicious of them.
Gwen felt her ears go red but luckily Isaac spoke up for her sake. "I can assure you that we're both good students. However, I wouldn't have minded having rooms farther away…" the last sentence was quieter and Gwen could've sworn she was the only one that heard it. She made a face at him, and he gave a small smirk in response.
The mayor gave a laugh. "I know, I know! I was just merely joking with you two. Your teachers and parents have already informed me that there should be no trouble between the two of you. Keep that in mind though, if you do make trouble we'll have no trouble sending you home earlier." His face seemed a little sad at this statement, as if he didn't want to even think about that possibly happening.
"You can assure there will be no problems between us." Isaac replied, his tone mature and sophisticated.
"Wonderful!" The mayor responded. "Now come along, I will personally show you to your rooms." The cheerful man turned around and started leading the way across the lobby to the elevators.
"I'll see you tomorrow then Isaac! Make sure to wait for me in the morning so we can walk to school together!" The blond girl waved enthusiastically at Isaac as he made a noise of annoyance. He gave no response, simply took his luggage and followed after the mayor, as if he could not hear the obnoxious girl behind him. Gwen smiled to herself thinking 'Typical Isaac' before following after the two.
Considering the beauty of the hotel, Gwen should have expected the elevator's to be extravagant as well. Yet, she still gave a soft gasp as she entered the gold and white elevator. She felt almost like she had wandered into a different world. Sure, she had seen stunning buildings in New York before, but there was just something about the buildings in Paris that made her feel like a princess.
"Your rooms are on the fifth floor, numbers 502 and 504. Here are your keys...now make sure not to loose them. I only have so many spares. School starts at 8:30 tomorrow and you are allowed to go off campus for lunch and breaks. The school is not far from here and you will be able to walk every day. You shall be in the same class as my daughter Chloe as well, so if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask her. Lastly, I hope you have a wonderful stay on your trip here!" The mayor gave them the basic information they had been told for a couple of weeks now, but it wasn't bad to have a refresher on it. As the doors opened he lead them down another extravagant hallway and towards their rooms.
