Chapter eight
Meena's driving day was fairly uneventful time. Save for a near Road rage fight involving Greenlee, a litterer and a long tiring car ride. After Stickler managed to calm them both down, the friends started back on their journey.
"All the girls and the boys and people makin noise!" Greenlee and Newt belted out as they went. Meena looked over er shoulder at them and laughed. This was a fun trip so far. They were only about ten minutes away from where they wanted to be. Times Square, New York, New York.
"Almost there." Meena said over Newt and Greenlee's singing.
"Almost there!" The two mimicked throwing their hands into the air.
"Are you going to do that all the way to the hotel?" Stickler asked.
"to the Hotel!" They laughed.
"I hate you both." Stickler shook his head.
"Aww, that's just mean." Greenlee pouted.
"You made Greenlee upset." Newt accused.
"You two are worse than children." Meena smiled.
"I know huh?" Greenlee wrinkled her nose and looked at Newt.
"That's just the way we Roll." Newt shrugged.
"Oh I love that song!" Greenlee clapped her hands.
"We're here!" Meena cried as they pulled into the parking lot. They all quickly scrambbled out of the car and hurried into the Hotel. They got to the front desk and looked at the man behind it expectantly.
"Can I help you?" The man asked, boed and impatient. Greenlee narrowed her eyes at him.
"Yes I bought two rooms, the name's Baxter." Meena said.
"You put it under Cory's name?" Newt whispered to her.
"Well you know..." Meena shrugged.
"No, no I don't." Newt shook his head. Meena stuck out her tongue.
"Hello?" The man behind the counter snapped. "We don't allow children in without an adult." He gave them a sarcastic smile.
"Yes I know." Meena said, trying to stay sweet. "I'm ninteen, and he's nineteen." She pointed at Cory. "Te other's are eighteen."
"Oh... Well I'm sorry but we're full." the man shrugged.
"I pre booked." Meena said, getting a little impatient. Greenlee sighed angrily and pushed past Meena.
"Look little man, I've been in a car for te past six hours, I smell like gas, smoke and general nastiness. If I don't get a room this second I'm going to tell every newpaper this side of kansas that this hotel is unkind and you'd be better off staying on a hotel bench in central park." She growled. The man actually laughed and looked at the two other people behind the desks.
"And why would they listen to you?" He asked.
"Because the daughter of Alex and Mila Binx tends to get a lot of attention when she asks for it. Nevermind the daughter of the embassador of Bahavia, The son of political people and well... Stickler and Cory. I am not about using every once of my parents power to throw a hissy fit worthy of a childstar!" Greenlee pounded her fist on the desk. The man looked a little shocked and quickly went to work, typing away.
"Oh! BAXTER!" He said. "Got it right here." He turned and got card keys, swiping them in and handing them over. "Have a nice day." He added with a big smile.
"Oh we will." Greenlee grinned back, hers even faker than his. She rolled her eyes as they walked off.
"Dang girl, why don't you do that all the time?" Cory asked. he could just imagine what he would do if he had famous parents. Greenlee stopped walking and looked at him.
"Because it gives me a headache." She said, walking again. Meena couldn't help but laugh and that got everyone else started as they got in the elevator. They rode up to their floor and hurried to their rooms, right next to each other.
The boys went into their room and looked around. It was amazing. There was still only two beds but they could get a cot, like they were going to at the motel.
There was a knock at the door and Stickler opened it, finding Meena on the other side.
"Get some sleep, tomorrow we can run around and have fun." She grinned and hurried off. Stickler shut the door and dropped his back pack on the floor. Newt called down for a cot while Cory went to the bathroom to change. He came out in a wife beater and pajama pants, Newt had flannel pants and a tee shirt while Stickler had silky blue pajamas. The other two boys gave him a strange lok and he shrugged.
"I like to be comfortable." He said, offering no more explaination for it.
meanwhile in the girl's room, Meena was sitting on her bed putting on a mud mask, while Greenle brushed and braided her hair.
"So, at least Newt stopped acting weird." Meena said.
"Yeah I guess." Greenlee shrugged, getting up and going to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
"what's wrong now?" Meena asked, following Greenlee.
"It's just... I don't know, He's just... ugh." Greenlee rolled her eyes and squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush. It was silent while the two girls scrubbed and when they spit out the last of the foam Meena frowned.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"He's just not as... Newty... if that makes sense." Greenlee shrugged and went back to her bed.
"not really." Meena shook her head.
"Well... whatever." Greenlee got under the blanket and laid down.
"Night Greenlee."
"Night Meena."

The next morning Everyone got up and headed out. Meena and Cory went to sign up for the contest while Stickler went to whereever and Greenlee and Newt headed out to shop.
After signing up Meena and Cory headed for a little cafe in the city. Meena ordered a cappachino and Cory just got a soda.
"This place is really great." Meena smiled. "Romantic." She added as they sat down with their drinks.
"It is." Cory agreed. The two leaned across the table to kiss only to be interrupted by greenlee plopping down.
"Newton Livingston is the biggest jerk on the planet!" She cried.
