FINALLY, after 3 hours, we landed in Paris. I was not in a hurry to get back on another flight. We were gonna be in Paris for around a month. Uni only starts in February so we had around 1 month and 20 days left. And the last 20 days we need to use to get ready for it.

We went to the baggage collection and waited until our bags arrived on the conveyer thing. While waiting for a taxi to arrive for all of us to take us to our hotel, I got a call from my cousin. I stepped away and answered it.

"Anika!" She yelled. "Hoe gaan dit?" She spoke. Right, she's not English.

"Anya, dit gaan goed, ja." I said. Anya was one of the family members I still kept in contact with

"ANIKA! TAXI'S HERE!" Hana yelled.

"Is julle al in Parys?" She asked.

"Ja."

"ANIKA, HURRY UP!" Hana yelled again.

"Ek moet gaan, Anya." I said.

"Okay, Okay, Julle moet vir my kom kuier voor julle terug flieg." She suggested.

"Okay, Ons sal, bye." I hung up and made my way to the taxi.

The others looked at me.

"Sorry, my cousin called. She wants me to go visit her while I'm still in Paris."

"She lives in Paris?" Newt asked.

"Yep. Moved here 4 years ago."

"She like it here?" Teresa asked.

"Probably. She hasn't really talked about it." We got in the taxi and Minho told him where to go. The driver then started driving to the hotel. At least the sun had risen now. I checked my phone.

Eight forty-six AM.

So much for trying to sleep. There better be a pharmacy near the hotel. I don't want to be sleep-deprived for 1 month straight. 

God, there's gonna be fucking jet lag for a few days. We got out our bags and made our way inside. Hana checked us. I read the name of the Hotel.

Shangri-Li Hotel

Not only was this place expensive but I wasn't even paying for my room. Minho and Hana somehow fucking convinced their parents to help pay. Like damn, I would have paid myself.

Minho and Hana's parents own a big business that earns a lot of money. It's actually nice to see that Minho and Hana aren't that affected by the amount of money their parents make. They just act like normal people.

Well, I wouldn't say normal, Minho acts like he knows more than I do because he's in med-school and Hana- actually, Hana is perfectly fine. It's Minho that's different.

With his perfectly gelled hair and the fact that even after a hard day, his hair is still perfect. Or the way he barely sweats after going to the gym. The way his biceps contract when he lifts weights- Wait-

No.

I don't like him.

I'm not saying he's ugly... He's far from that-

Wait. Fuck. no.

I don't like him.

He's just a normal person that hates me.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

I don't like him. Period.

I got the room key to my room and I wasn't told who I was sharing a room with. Not one of the girls though. They got other rooms. The boys took their keys and just left. They took their bags with them and everything. Just left the fucking hotel.

Hana and Brenda were sharing a room, Harriet and Sonya were sharing a room, and Teresa and I were sharing rooms with a boy.

I put my bags down next to the bed. Wait. There's only one bed... it's a fucking double bed. No. Maybe it was a mistake. Maybe I'm in a room alone.

I shrugged off the thoughts of the bed and just folded my clothes and put them in one of the drawers. There were two for some reason. I put my books on top of the drawer. Twisted Series, The Hunger Games, The Inheritance Games.

I didn't pack so many books just nine books... It's fine. I read fast. I already read The Inheritance Games on the flight and started Twisted Love.

If only there was a man like Alex fucking Volkov. I love that man already and I'm not even done with the book. 

I packed the rest of my stuff away and took a shower. I didn't want to know how bad I smelled. I know it's morning and I don't usually shower in the morning but my god, I was sweaty as fuck.

I felt the water drip down my body as I turned on the shower. The best part of the shower is that the shower head was attached to the roof so it felt like rainfall.

I massaged the shampoo through my hair and washed it off a few seconds later. I did the same with the conditioner but I just kept it in my hair longer.

I washed my body, shaved and then dried myself off. I changed into loose ripped jeans and a crop top with spaghetti strings. I then slipped on my dark green Converse and tied my hair in a half ponytail and half out hair. I left the bathroom and turned off the light. I put my many bracelets on again. I forgot my jacket. I needed it. It wasn't cold but I needed it. 

I yelped and nearly fell over when I saw someone standing in front of the door to the bedroom. The person turned around and it was none other than Minho fucking Lee.

"Why are you in here?" I asked.

"This is my room, why are you in here?" He asked.

"No, this is my room." I showed him my key and he showed me his. We're fucking sharing a room.

"I'm not sharing a room with you and especially not a bed."

"Too bad," He said. I just hurriedly walked into the room and got out a greyish-black jacket and quickly slipped it on. "Why are you wearing a jacket? It's not even cold." 

"I'm cold." 

"I doubt that. You were complaining about the heat in the taxi on the way here." 

"I'm gonna go find Hana." I left the room and went to the room where Hana and Brenda were staying.

I knocked on the door before entering. Teresa, Harriet and Sonya were already in there.

"Hey, Anni, I was about to come find you," Hana said. I had a clear annoyed look on my face. "You okay?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I'm fucking sharing a room with Minho," I grumbled and Sonya choked on the water she was drinking.

"What?" She asked, trying to stifle a laugh. So were the others.

"What do you guys know?" I asked.

"Nothing," Brenda said quickly.

"Bullshit," I commented. "You wouldn't be trying not to laugh if you didn't."

"It's funny," Brenda said.

"Brenda's right. It's quite funny," Teresa said.
