Wow. I really did it. I'm in the human world.
"Yeah. It's pretty sweet isn't it?" Life asked, looking at me.
Oh, I had forgotten he could read minds!
I gazed out the window at the lush green grass and the dark sky dotted with bright stars.
"Where are we?" I asked Charolette.
"Omaha Nebraska." Finch answered.
"Oh." I said, continuing to stare out the window.
I watched as our hotel came into view, "Wow." At that moment Life grabbed my hand.
"Gorgeous isn't it?" He asked me.
"Yeah." I told him, looking at the hotel.
"I was talking about you, Cass."
••••••••••
I grabbed my bag out of the back of the truck.
"I'll take that." Life said, grabbing my bag for me.
"You know, you guys would actually be a super cute couple." Charolette said to us.
"I wish." Life said gazing at me, "She's way to out of my league."
"Hardee-Har-Har." I told him, "You live in a palace!"
"I would trade it all for you."
"Oh please." Like any guy would date me.
"I would." Life said, reading my mind once again.
He got down on one knee.
"Cassie Harper Miller. Will you go out with me?"
"Yes!!!" I squealed with delight!
The cutest guy in school is my boyfriend!
"Come on Love Birds." Charolette said, laughing, "We've got a hotel to check into."
••••••••••
"We are rooms 112 and 113 ok guys?" Finch said to us.
"Yes sir!" Charolette told him, laughing her head off.
"Whatever dude." I responded staring at the hotel.
"Alright." Life answered, quickly.
I still couldn't believe I was here, in the human world! It's still way beyond me how different our two worlds are, no matter how close together they appear.
"Wow!" Charolette said gasping with shock about our rooms."This place is beautiful!" She continued to just stand in the door way.
"Yeah!" I told her, "The back of your head is beautiful! Come on! Move over and let me see!" I shoved her through the door and we both started laughing.
Wow! This place really is breathtaking! The room was a light grey color, with dark blue curtains and furniture, a huge mirror, and dark wood side tables. There were two huge beds and in the bathroom they had the fluffiest towels I had ever seen!
"Woah!!!! Char! Feel these towels!" I threw a towel across the room.
"Oh my gooses!" She cried, rubbing it against her face, "These towels are so soft!"
I set my suitcase down and flopped onto the bed.
"Holy channels! A TV!" I picked up the remote and flipped through the channels, "They only have these in the palace!"
"Woah!" Charolette said, smiling like an idiot.
"This place is so cool!"
"Yeah!" It really was. I can't disagree!
"So." Charolette said with a sly smile, "How's your boyfriend!" She said in a sing song voice.
"Stop Char!" I told her, laughing.
"You know you like it!"
"Yeah. I do." I said quietly. "But stop!" I said chucking a pillow at her.
"Ok." She said, "But you love him."
