2. Maybe This Could be the Start of Something More
"Miss Kaulfeld, Miss Figliola, Miss Davis, room 1421. Mr. Rove, Mr. Brooks, room 1423. Miss Girardi, Miss Polk, room 1422. Mr. Girardi, Mr. Freidman, Mr. Fisher, room 1424," Ms. Lischak said, tossing the keys to the students as they entered Boston Royal Hotel. Joan caught the keys to the room she and Grace would be sharing and looked around.
"No wonder they call it royal. This place is huge!" 20 stories, 10 elevators, 20 stairways, 1499 rooms.
"Okay, everyone, up to your rooms. We have a busy day tomorrow. I want to see you all down here and ready by 10!" Ms. Lischak told them, walking over to the elevator and hitting the up button.
"This is by far the biggest hotel I've ever seen. I wonder what the rooms are like," Madison said, dragging her bag over to the elevator.
"Ah, another person who packs like Girardi. Amazing," Grace said, adjusting her backpack and entering the elevator.
"Funny. Very funny," Joan said, walking in behind her. Adam and Iris entered after them talking about something that had happened in art class on friday, Scott Brooks from the debate team and Clay Fisher, Joan's ex-boyfriend who turned out to be a real jerk, entered, and lastly, Luke, Freidman and Glynis talking about some science thing. A man entered the hotel from a door that read 'basement' and approched who Joan assumed was the mananger. Just as the doors closed she managed to hear 'fire hazerd. The whole place could go up any day now.'
"Oh my God," Joan said under her breath. Grace turned her her.
"What?"
"I'll tell you upstairs." The elevator stopped and the eleven people filtered out, heading into their rooms. Joan put the key in her door and unlocked it. She and Grace steped in.
"Dude this room is bigger than my house," Grace said, throwing her bag onto the nearest bed.
"It's bigger than your house and my house.. And Adam's house together," Joan said, walking around the premiter of the room when she noticed a door. She opened it, revealing Luke, Freidman and Clay arguing over who got which bed.
"Conjoined rooms. This is just, perfect," Joan said. Grace walked over to her and looked over her shoulder at the guys. Freidman turned to the girls.
"Conjoined rooms.." he said with a grin.
"You are foul," Joan told him.
"Tell me this door has a lock," Grace said, looking for a lock on it. She let out a relieved sigh.
"Thank God," she said. Joan slammed the door shut and Grace locked it. They began to unpack in silence when Grace remembered the evevator.
"Hey Joan? What was up with you in the elevator?" she asked, shoving a shirt into the dresser. Joan pulled some jeans out of her suitcase and hung them up.
"I heard someone talking to the manager. They said the hotel was a fire hazard," she said.
"A fire hazard? Well that's great. With our luck the whole place will go up," Grace told her, throwing her bag on a chair.
"It wont go up. If it wasn't safe, do you really think the school would let us come?"
"Who knows. Maybe they're trying to bump us off. I can see the headlines. Insane Chemestry Teacher and an Assortment of Science Nerds and Sub Defectives Die in Hotel Fire."
"Grace.." Joan said, shaking her head. Grace sat down on her bed.
"What? It's possiable. Weird things happen durning spring break. Who knows? Maybe this is the start of something more," Grace suggested.
"We'll, it's going to be an interesting week. Though I will admit I am not looking forward to the coupleage ahead," Joan told Grace, who shuddered.
"Tell me about it. I'm not looking forward to watching Rove and art girl groping each other all week. Or nerd boy and Glynis."
"Adam and Iris are together? And are you jealous of Luke and Glynis?"
"Yes they are, and I don't get jealous. Espically not over nerd love." Joan snickered at Grace, who picked up a pillow and chucked it at her. The door opened and Ms. Lischak leaned her head in.
"Lights out girls, we've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow."
"Miss Kaulfeld, Miss Figliola, Miss Davis, room 1421. Mr. Rove, Mr. Brooks, room 1423. Miss Girardi, Miss Polk, room 1422.
