Opposites Always Attract

Chapter 2

"Oh my god this is actually the nicest hotel I've ever seen in my life!" gushed Katy as she threw her bags down in the room. "How amazing is this?"

"Amazing doesn't even cut it." muttered Sam, unable to quite believe the room she was standing in. "Knowing our college I thought we were gonna end up in some grubby hostel but this is something else."

Sophie looked around the room completely awestruck. It was extremely large and had a set of double doors that lead out on to a balcony. There was a double bed along with two bunk beds in the corner and a sofa on the other side. Along one of the walls was a table top that covered a mini fridge and a few drawers. Just off from the bedroom was a healthy sized bathroom that had a bath and a shower inside.

"Dibs the double bed!" screamed Katy before leaping on to it as Sophie and Sam grumbled.

"Dibs bottom bunk!" added Sophie quickly causing Sam to stamp her foot in frustration.

"Dammit, I'm never quick enough." Sam ran her fingers through her red hair, pulling it up in to a loose bun. "Fucking boiling in here like. I think it's time for a cigarette."

"I'll join you." added Sophie, following Sam out of the double doors on to the balcony that over looked the pool below.

Sophie leant against the railings, a satisfied smile on her face as she took a cigarette from Sam before raising it to her lips and lighting it.

"Did you hear about what happened to Powers?" asked Sam, taking a drag of her cigarette.

"Please tell me she got hit by a bus." Sophie inhaled deeply from her cigarette as she waited for Sam's reply.

The redhead laughed at Sophie's response and shook her head, "Unfortunately not. But she got stuck in a room by herself and she was absolutely fuming."

Sophie couldn't help but chuckle, "I would have thought she'd be over the moon. Can bring lads back any night she wants now."

"I thought she was with dickweed Ryan?" asked Sam, frowning slightly at this new information.

"Word on the street is that he sacked her off." stated Sophie, taking another drag of her cigarette.

Sam laughed, "That ought to bring her down a peg or two. Thought no one dumped the magnificent Sian Powers?"

"Bring her down a peg or two? Get real, she'll still think she's queen of the fucking world." scoffed Sophie.

Sam shrugged, lifting her cigarette to her mouth, "She kind of is."

"Only cause people are scared of her. I mean look what she did to me, she can ruin your life in a second. No one would dare mess with her." argued Sophie, flicking her cigarette to the floor and stubbing it out with her toe.

"Aside from you because lets face it, she already ruined yours, you've got nothing to lose."

"The lady makes a good point." Sophie grinned and winked at her friend before they headed back in to the hotel room.

"Mr Mad just came in, we've gotta go down to reception." stated Katy as her friends stepped back in to the room.

"Then I guess we better make a move." Sophie rubbed her hands together as she headed towards the door, closely followed by Katy and Sam.

The girls chatted enthusiastically as they stepped in the elevator to go down to the ground floor of the hotel, almost not hearing the shouts to hold the door. Sophie reached out her had just in time to stop it from closing but instantly regretted it when she saw who she'd held the door for.
