10:43 p.m. London Airport
"Gawd. What time is it?" Kristen rubbed her sore head to the rapid shaking of her right arm. Dylan was standing over her shaking her arm alarmingly. "Dylan, stop shaking me!"
Dylan rolled her eyes and slapped Kristen's arm, and in response for Kristen's eyes to fly open. "What the eff was that for?" Kristen rubbed her arms and looked around. Her ears had popped with the elevation and the plane was dark except for the lights overhead each seat. Speaking about seats, all seats were empty and blood rushed to her head as she hastily stood up. "Where is everyone?"
Dylan looked at her 2 large Giorgio Armani suitcases and pulled up the stroller handles. "We're at the London Airport." At those words Kristen immediately perked up. "Massie and the others are outside. The pilot just took our luggage out of the cockpit. Isaac just called 3 cabs to take us to the penthouse and then I realized that you weren't with us." Dylan smiled at the thought. She was ready to apologize to Kristen if Kristen wasn't ready to be a bigger person.
Kristen was up and already pulling down the 2 black and white small, worn Coach bags that she had brought reluctantly along. She felt somewhat embarrassed since she didn't have the newest suitcases and the biggest since she didn't have much to pack. "Oh my effing gawd. How come you guys didn't notice earlier? This is how you guys would have left me on the plane and I would be stuck at Westchester going to some gross and crappy," Kristen shuddered at her next words. "Public school."
Dylan scrunched up her face angrily. "I remembered to come and get YOU." Dylan looked at Kristen, obviously annoyed. "Now shut the hell up, be grateful I even came and lets get out of here." Dylan whipped around and rolled her bags out the entrance of the plane with Kristen in awe, trailed after her.
Massie impatiently tapped her Jimmy Choos on the spotless marble floor of the London Airplane as she talked to an annoying chattering brunette that was checking them out of the Airport since they came on a private airplane. "Am I done here, Jenny?" Massie squinted at the name tag. The woman had her hair down in a low ponytail and she was in her uniform; light blue polo shirt and brown khakis and black 3 inch heels. Her name tag said 'Hello, I'm Joyce'.
The woman squinted her big muddy brown eyes and smiled her crooked teeth impatiently. "I need yoh names." Joyce said in her British accent that Massie found totally awesome. "You're Messie Block right? And you're extras, Alicia Rivera and Claire Lyons?" The woman looked at Claire who was sitting in a nearby chair and waved. Then Joyce pointed to Alicia who was walking around and texting without pause on her phone. "Where are the others? I have down on the list that there would be Dylan Marvil and Kristen Gregory."
"The name's Massie Block and the others are coming." Massie rolled her eyes and turned to Isaac. "Are the cabs ready? I am not waiting any longer after Dyl and Kris come."
"The walk here was insane." Dylan immersed -with Kristen in her wake- from the thickets of people that bustled around the airport. "Can we leave now that we have Kristen? I need my bee-yoo-tee sleep and I feel like my shoulders are going to fall off." She motioned to the bulging carry-on handbag that hung from her shoulder.
"Sorry guys. I fell asleep. I didn't mean to keep you waiting." Kristen fell into line with Dylan.
"What do you have in there, Dyl?" Claire said astonished at the size of the handbag.
Dylan went stiff as she remember the food she had stashed earlier in the handbag. "Oh yea. I have my makeup products in it. Can we go now?" Dylan lied awfully and bit her lip.
"Okay you girls are all ready to go." Joyce tapped away on her keyboard and handed Massie a printed off ticket of where their penthouse's location is.
"How do you know where our penthouse is?" Alicia looked up from her phone to ask the question as she dubiously stared at the piece of paper in Massie's hands.
Joyce laughed. "Cambridge Secondary School called to make sure that certain ladies who came with a private airplane would know where they were staying."
"Oh okay. That makes sense." Claire stood up and grabbed her luggage in each hand. "Let's go now. I'm tired like everyone else."
"Thanks Joyce." Dylan smiled and trailed after Claire as the girls and Isaac excited the airport
The cab had come and in 30 minutes had driven them to the penthouse. The girls were standing outside a huge skyscraper that was called Cambridge Penthouses. They had a view of the beautiful city lights all glowing and alive. They had entered the building through the huge sliding glass doors and check in through the receptionist. Apparently every 8th grader from OCD was dorming in that same building. Each person had received their own key card and they were on their way to their penthouse.
"These key cards are so cute." Kristen fawned over the key card she had recently gotten. It had been decorated with tiny teddy bears that were hugging hearts that said unlock me.
"Can you like nawt say everything's so awesome? Act like you have some class puh-leese." Massie raised her freshly waxed eyebrows. "Well as much class as you can have." Massie mumbled under her breath. She might be chastising Kristen, but Massie was impossibly excited as well.
Kristen pushed the key card deep in her jeans pocket and looked around. Everything was awesome to Kristen and the other girls may not admit it, but everything was awesome to them. The impeccably high ceilings, the glass skylight, flawless black marble floors, the endless modern hallways, and especially the large cozy foyer. They foyer had 2 stone fireplaces, many couches here and there, and in the back-center had been the large receptionist's desk. It was all so exciting for Kristen and obviously for everyone. On the way here Dylan kept talking about how they were going to be going to school every day and how they would run to the little coffee shop-they had seen as they had driven to the penthouse-everyday before school.
"We're here girls." Isaac popped open the door open and helped each girl in with their luggage. Then he switched on the lights. In the center of the room was a mini chandelier that had about 100 tiny lights on it. In the living room a white plush couch was placed across from the tv and another couch was on the right of the first couch. A gorgeous lavender silk rug was placed under a glass table with a tall see through vase filled with bright yellow flowers. Adjacent from the 2nd couch was a 50 inch flat screen TV and underneath the TV was a medium stone gas fireplace.
"Man, this place is AMAZE-BALLS!" Claire exclaimed as she pulled out her new Canon EOS Rebel T3i camera, that she had gotten from her father as a going away present. She took multiple pictures until Massie pulled her down a hallway with 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms. Each room as big as the others. In each room were 2 queen beds with fantasy dark purple duvets. The bed sheet a pure white silk and the pillows assorted purple and white silk. White princess-like headboards covered each bed. And a tiny white beside table separated the beds, a beautiful tall lamp placed on top of it. 2 white 4 drawer dressers were in each room along with 2 white vanities. And 2 walk-in closets were across from each other. Cubicles of windows (about the size of a regular window) were placed together to make a large window that took up one wall. The exact same window as in each room was in the living room as well.
"Daddy paid extra for a premium room." Massie said to no one really as she secretly awed over everything. A kitchen was included in the penthouse. It had a stove, an oven, a large sink, a French door-ed refrigerator, and an island with black marble was placed in the center of the kitchen. There were 2 bathrooms in each penthouse. As you walk in, the first thing you would see was the double sink counter with a mirror that was behind the counter. Multiple drawers were under the sinks and an auto flush toilet with a seat warmer was in the corner. A large 20 jet Jacuzzi was placed in there. The jets also changed colors according to a remote that was placed on its edge. Next to the Jacuzzi was a long see through stand up shower. In the shower there were 3 jets on every side of the shower except for the door. A waterproof touch pad was in the corner of the shower. It could play music and it controlled the size of the jets and the intensity of the water.
"This is officially the coolest place I have EVER been in!" Dylan screamed as she jumped into a bed in a room, arms splayed out. "DIBS ON THIS BED!" She buried her face into the soft 500 count duvet.
"DIBS ON THIS BED!" Kristen dropped her bags by the bed and jumped on the bed, copying Dylan's exact position. "Hey, Dylan. I'm honestly, seriously sorry about what I did earlier and I hope you forgive me. I feel terrible."
At the apology, Dylan poked her head up and looked at Kristen across the space between each bed. Her head was now up. Kristen looked truly sorry. "I accept your apology. I also need to apologize for being a bitch about your situation." Dylan grinned and sat up on the bed.
"I missed you, ginger." Kristen came in for a hug.
Claire ran to the second room after seeing Dylan and Kristen claim a room. She found the nearest one and claimed the bed by dropping her camera on the bed and crying out that she had taken the bed. She had just pulled off her sandals and placed them in her closet when she heard the bed next to hers creak. When Claire looked up she was faced with dark chocolate brown eyes.
"Hola Claire." Alicia pulled off her shoes. "You've just met your worst nightmare." Alicia grinned and waved at Claire.
