"Hurry up, Em!" I was banging on the bathroom door, waiting for Emma to finish getting ready. "I'm gonna be late for my first day!"
"Alright, alright, gosh. People would think you're running from a murderer," she said, opening the bathroom door. Emma had long blonde hair, which came down to just above her hips and she adored it, she had baby blue eyes, a body any girl would die for, and a perfect tan, and we both shared an apartment together. We just moved to London from Australia 3 days ago to get away from our families, and I had already gotten a job in a hotel 5 minutes down the road.
"If I get fired, I'm blaming you!" I screamed as I ran past her and into the bathroom slamming the door behind me.
I didn't have time for a shower now, luckily I had one last night, so I washed my face and cleaned my teeth before putting on a thin layer of foundation and applying a small amount of eyeliner to help my hazel eyes pop. I had no time to do anything nice with my hair, so I tied it into a messy bun leaving a few waves out by my face. My hair was dark brown and really wavy, it hung halfway down my back, reaching past my bra strap. I opened the door and ran into my bedroom to look in my wardrobe, I wasn't really skinny, but I wasn't overweight either, I guess you could say I was average, although I could lose a few pounds, I decided to just throw on my black skinny jeans and a plain white singlet with bold black writing that said "Free Hugs", I'd have to change at the hotel anyway, as I hadn't been given my uniform yet.
I grabbed my bag, my iPhone and my keys before yelling a quick "Bye" to Emma who casually raised her hand to acknowledge me leaving. I ran out the front door, slamming it behind me and started sprinting out the doors and down the pathway, the black clouds overhead getting closer as it started spitting, 'just my luck' I thought.
I reached the hotel and began walking towards the front counter, "Hi, I'm Alaska, d'you mind telling me where the manager is? It's my first day of work, and I'm running a bit late" I told her hurriedly.
"Sure, I'll just find out for you" she turned around spoke into a walking talkie which was hanging off the back of her work trousers, "He's just outback, sweetheart" she said, smiling and pointing to a door just behind her.
"Thank you so much" I replied, rushing around the desk and stood in front of the door.
I took a few breaths, and checked my phone, '10:40 am, only ten minutes late' I thought. I turned the handle quietly and walked in, everyone's heads snapped up and their eyes glued to me.
"Alaska, about time don't you think?" Mr. Bailey said, looking at me, "This is Alaska everyone, this is her first day, so be nice!" and leaving through the door I had just come through, everyone mumbled a quick hello and then stood up and started getting back to their jobs, except for a bubbly girl and a cute looking boy who both looked around my age. They approached me and the girl spoke first, "Hi, my name's Amy, and this is Brad" she said pointing to herself and then to the boy next to her who raised his hand and gave a little wave, he had jet black hair that flicked to his left and dark blue eyes that glistened.
"My name's Alaska" I said, giving them a big smile, "So, what did I miss?"
"Oh, just a quick conference about some famous band that is supposedly coming to stay for a few weeks, they mustn't have been very famous though, because no one really cared when Mr. Bailey told us, either that or we're just to old to know them" Brad announced.
"Yeah, One Infection or something like that, I honestly wasn't listening" Amy said, giggling at the last bit. "Oh, and since it's your first day and everyone else has their jobs already, Mr. Bailey assigned you to be their housemaid" she added. Amy had light auburn hair, which sat, just above her breasts with a front fringe covering her forehead and big, brown eyes.
