On with the story...
Downstairs in the lobby a buzz of excitement was happening among the Tipton
staff. Alina was back! Everyone but Carrie, Cody, and Zack were excited, though
worried at the same time.
Finally, Cody got tired of not know who Alina was, so
he walked over to Maddie to ask about her.
"Who is this Alina everyone is talking about?" Cody asked
"She is this cancer patient who stays at the Tipton when she has chemo. And
she is so nice! Even you guys would like her. She is a sweetie pie and has a
very positive attitude. JUST--DONT ASK HER ABOUT THE CANCER!" Maddie replied
"She sounds fun!"
"She is so much fun, and gives great tips!"
"I wanna meet her."
"I'll introduce you when she comes down..I think you'll like her! Not just like
but, maybe, love!" thought Maddie
Just then a very guilty Estaban got off the elevator.
"What happened?" asked Moseby
"She's back for chemo, and I asked about the wig." said Estaban with a
sheepish grin and staring at the floor
"ESTABAN!" Everyone shouted
Then they heard a laugh from an amused Alina who was leaning against the
elevator doors for what seemed like the whole conversation.
"You realize I have been standing here for the while convo and I really don't
care about Estaban or the wig 'cause I had brown hair the last time I was
here...Someone was bond to notice!" laughed Alina.
"Alina I-," started Moseby.
"Save it!" Alina cut off. "It was a known fact I have different hair! So
chill! Who is this?" she said, pointing to the poster of Carrie.
"That is our new hotel singer!" Moseby said proudly.
"I'm thinking...Carrie Martin. An amazing singer awesome hair and twin sons?"
Zack, Cody, and Carries mouths dropped open.
"How did you know that!" demanded Zack
"A) there is a poster of your mom in the lobby and Moseby just told me that
she is the singer, B) I'm looking at her and she does have awesome hair, C)i see
you and your twin brother, and you look like your mom!" Alina retorted.
Zack just looked shell shocked, while Cody laughed.
"Hi! I'm Alina,"
"I'm Cody, and that would be Zack."
"Nice to meet you!" Alina replied with a smile
'I LOVE her smile!' thought Cody
'He's so cute!' thought Alina
"So you have stayed here before?"
"Yeah like a million times!"
"So where is your family?"
"The St. Marks Hotel," Alina said bitterly
"Why are they at the St Marks?" Cody questioned noticing her bitterness toward
the subject
"Well, mom and dad hate each other, Josh is lost in cyberspace, I have cancer
and everyone blames me for my families situation." Alina replied angrily
"Oh." said Zack and then watched in amazement (like everyone else) as Cody
hugged Alina who, surprisingly, hugged back.
Alina smiled. This was the start of something new.
