My suitcase rolls along the pavement as I approach the lobby of hotel building. I stand still, admiring the tall building. I suddenly reflect on everything that got me to this point; it's crazy to think I've been doing this competition since I was ten. It's also crazy to think I never had a childhood-and that this whole thing isn't even real.
I glance over as the short untidy guy who has a smile so wide across his small face. This guy however just so happens to be my best friend, Coiny. My ride or die, second pea in the pod, partner in crime if you will. He notices me and runs over to me, embracing me in a big warm hug acting as if he didn't just see me like last week.
"Ah, Scarlet! I've missed you!" He says still gripping onto me tightly.
"Hah, you saw me just last week-what's up with you?"
"Well," He starts.
"Completely honest, i've been so nervous for this! Fuck, we haven't competed in a while. And this time they're willing to keep this show alive. I'm also destined to win this season, I'm not gonna let some newbie come in and beat me." He says as he lets go of me.
"I knew it, but hey, on the bright side we're fan favorites? Especially you."
He laughs, "Oh yea? Is it good enough to make me win?"
"Uh huh, just keep up with your big shot personality and you'll surely swoon the viewers over, maybe finally even a girlfriend while you're at it hm?" I joke as I slightly nudge him.
"You're damn right, hah!"
We both walk into the hotel, checking in and getting our keys. Each team has a floor, but we all have our individual rooms for privacy sake. I even heard veteran members, like me and Coiny, get special perks in our rooms.
With receiving our keys, we also got a pamphlet of the first day activities. Two decided I guess to get more organized this year, and honestly with all the money he gets I don't expect any less.
"You nervous?" Coiny asks, catching me a bit off guard.
"Just a bit. I mean, every time we do this the nerves wear off a little more."
"Yea?"
"Yea."
"Well, with you by my side I think everything will be alright. You have, and always will be my partner in crime." He tells me, and suddenly I feel the same butterflies in my stomach again. Whenever he says stuff like this to me-or touches me in a certain way I get these same butterflies. The best way to describe it is my whole body feels numb, my vision is primarily focused on Coiny, and it's like we're in some scene from a movie.
"I-yeaha! We'll always stick together. No matter what."
He smiles. I smile.
"AREEEE YOUUU READYYYYY!!!?" Two yells from the intercom.
"Oh boy." We both say in unison.
Two announces everyone to come into ball room and to find a spot with our teams. Teams were already pre-picked about a week ago, so we wouldn't have to do it today. Me and Coiny get in there and sit with our team.
Time passes, Two just going over the rules and such, the plan old ones and new ones regarding the stay in the hotel; take out your garbage, room inspections once a month for cleanliness, always been on time for shoot, etc. One new rule I guess they added was
"And, sorry to say this, absolutely NO PDA-or even coupling up with one another at all! You're allowed to date people from other shows but NO ONE in this hotel! Just for the safety of viewer controversy."
I see a few nervous glances, some gasps, and I'm pretty sure Golfball is already writing an angry Twitter post. Anyways, I glance over at Coiny, out of all people.
"There goes your non existent love life, huh? No more getting a girlfriend now."
"Yea yea, we'll see about that. I'll make it completely unknown who I take in and out of my hotel." He says laughing.
"Gross-and in your dreams." I know Coiny was joking but, I do hope he doesn't bring anyone else into his place that is.
Anyone whose not me, at least.
