The trip of a lifetime

France here I am

As I got off the plane I looked around for my driver and I saw a man holding a sign that said Teresa Mendoza and next to him was a girl with long brown hair wearing glasses holding a clipboard and a small purse. I walked over to them and the girl said, "Hello, are you Miss Mendoza?" "Yeah that's me, who are you?" she shook my hand, "Hi my name is Anna, and I will be your translator during your stay here in France, come let's go out to the limo," I stopped, "We're going in a limo!" she gestured to the chauffeur to get my bags, "Of course, how else would you get to the concert, oh, but before we go to the concert we've got to get you checked in to your hotel we'll be staying at the most luxurious hotel in France, which the guys from Daft Punk will be staying at as well," she explained everything to me as we walked to the limo and as we got to the hotel she said that I would get an hour to look around the hotel then an hour before the concert I'd get a chance to hang out with Daft Punk and then we'd head over to the concert and after that I'd have two weeks for sightseeing and then Saturday night would be a party for the release of their new album and I'd be leaving Sunday night.

As I got out of the limo I saw this large beautiful building and I stood there looking at it in awe, I had never seen a building as beautiful as that, then Anna gestured for me to enter the hotel and said, "Teresa welcome to the Arendale hotel," as I walked in I looked around and was completely stunned by the hotel's beauty, I thought the outside looked nice but the inside was absolutely amazing!

Anna came back with my hotel key and showed me my room, my room was room 825 and Anna's room was right next door, then Anna turned to me and said, "Alright here we are, if you need me I'll be next door. oh and before I forget," she handed me a cellphone, "Here, in case you need me just dial 1" I took the phone and said, "umm Anna is it alright if I look around for a bit," "Yeah go ahead but just be back in an hour to meet up with the guys before the concert" and then she went into her room and I started to walk around.

As I was walking by I saw an indoor pool and thought, I definitely have to go there sometime during these two weeks, I saw a beautiful ballroom, an arcade, and a spa. I went to the spa and got a massage, I was allowed to get all the services for free since I was their guest, after I set up the appointment I sat in the waiting area next to a man who was about my age maybe a bit older, like 22, he was really tall and had curly hair looked over at me and started talking in French and I stopped him and said, "Ummm I'm sorry, I don't speak French," he smiled at me and said, "No it's fine, I speak a bit of English b-but you'll have to excuse my s-stuttering," he seemed really friendly, I smiled back and shook his hand, "It's fine, my name is Teresa," "Teresa, that's a beautiful name, my name is Thomas."

We sat there and talked like as if we were old friends until it was his turn to go in for his massage. I sat there for a while and I saw a guy come in like he was looking for someone he went to the woman at the reception desk who pointed in my direction and told him something in French, he then turned towards me with a scowl on his face and sat on the couch opposite to mine and waited for a while looking like he had somewhere else to go, I took a magazine and looked at it while glancing over at him once in a while, he had long brown hair, blue eyes, and he was wearing a leather jacket and a Strokes t-shirt with some ripped jeans. He looked around impatiently and caught me looking at him and I looked down and pretended like I was actually reading the magazine, which I couldn't because it was in French, so I stared at it and turned the page then looked up only to see him staring at me with a neutral expression, but as soon as he saw me looking back his face immediately went back to the scowl he had when he came in. He sighed looked at his watch, muttered something in French and walked out dropping his wallet in the process.

I picked the wallet up and went after him, only to see that he was long gone, I looked in the wallet to see who it was and the ID said Guillaume Emmanuel de Homem Christo, wow what a long name, I closed the wallet and put it in my pocket. I felt something else in my pocket and took it out, it was the phone Anna gave me, I opened it and checked the time, I had already been there for an hour and twenty minutes! I quickly put the phone in my pocket and ran to Anna's room.

I knocked on her door and she came out, "Teresa! where have you been" I showed her the wallet and said, "I wanted to return this to its rightful owner, I was gonna get a massage and this guy dropped his wallet, and when I went after him he was gone," I opened the wallet and showed her the ID then she smiled, "looks like you're in luck, I happen to know him, come in the guys are waiting for you," I walked in her room, it was just like mine but hers was renovated to look like a house, she had a kitchen area, a living room area, and the bedroom which was just a bed. She led me into the living room area where the guys were waiting, then Anna said, "Alright here they are, Daft Punk" they turned around and it was Thomas the guy I was talking to, and the man who dropped his wallet.
