Part 3|The Roadtrip  

The ride was pretty long but we arrived at a Hotel that was a little further from Templeton. Finn parked the truck and we got out of the car with our bags.  

"Ok, this should be pretty cheap, it's a two star hotel." said Finn, looking at the tall building with his hand on his forehead covering up his eyes from the sun.  

"Looks pretty shabby." Brooke commented.  

"Well, let's see."  

We entered the hotel and set foot in the lobby. We came over to the desk where a woman on a big black chair sat behind it.  

"Yeah... Hm hm... 5 days? Ok... Thank you sir, bye!" she wrote down on a piece of paper without looking up and with a nasil voice said, "What may I do for you?" 

She was probably in her fourties. She had dark red hair that was wrapped up in a small stiff bun. Her eyes looked tired and lazy as her eyelids were droopy and dark circles contoured the bottom of her eyes. She had a mole on her saggy cheeks. She wore a white shirt with pink stripes like all the other employees and her tag said "Mabel". 

As usual, Finn took the lead and made the reservations.  

"I'm afraid there aren't many rooms tonight, sir. There's a festival going on about just down the road in a few hours. We've got three rooms left." she answered.

"Three rooms left?!" said Finn, startled. "Well, what are they like?"  

"Two rooms with a double bed and one bigger room with two double beds. The rooms include an en-suite bathroom and TV with 4 channels." it was as if she was reciting something she had learned off by heart.  

"Ok well four of us could go in the bedroom with two beds, we're gonna have to share anyway." said Finn  

"And Misha and I can take the bedroom with one bed" said Sean. "Ooh, i like that" said Misha smiling and gazing in Sean's eyes. She grabbed the back of his head closer to her and kissed.  

"Right, you kids be careful" joked Brooke.  

"Well that's settled then. Misha and Sean in one room and Brooke, Cassie, Finn and I in the other." said Logan.  

"Okay, we'll take the two beds room and the one bed room" Finn responded to the woman. She scribbled on a piece of papaer, we all chipped in a bit of money for the rooms to pay and the lady gave us two keys for each room.

"Room 306 and 201" she said. 

We headed to our rooms. Misha and Sean were in 201, one floor beneath us. Brooke opened the door. The room was tight. There were two large beds against the wall on the right side. The sheets were a dirty pale pink. On the left was a door that lead into a tiny bathroom with a toilet, sink and shower. Brooke dumped her bags on the floor and jumped on the squeaky bed.  

"Brooke wanna share the bed with me?" I asked.  

"Woah there, i'm not gonna share a bed with a guy i barely know. No offence Logan." said Finn  

"None taken, and I agree" Logan answered. Brooke and I giggled. "You guys are such machos" i said "Well Finn i'll sleep in the same bed as you!" said Brooke. Finn came over to her,  

"Hell yeah! Now that's i'm talking about" he said joking  

"Well Cassie I guess it's you and me now" Logan said grinning "If you don't mind" he said in a serious face.  

"Oh no I don't mind at all. We're just sleeping anyway..." I said awkwardly.
