                                                                               Saturday 7:54 AM

           "Excuse me-" Harper began, while we looked at the young boy's name tag ( he was about our age) "-Alex? But aren't you a little young to be working here?" She laughs lightly. I nodded my head smiling.

           "Well, yes- but, I actually have a dad who owns the hotel," he replies. Alex had hazel brown hair which was kind of gelled up and swept to the side. He had light, bright green eyes, with a cute smile.

           "Hey, um, can we have the key cards for the rooms please? Under the name of 'Thompsons'"? I asked. He nodded and clickity-clack his keyboard. After, 3 seconds he handed us 3 key cards, one for each of us. Alex directed us to the elevator; take a left from the lobby and a sharp right. We thanked him and scurried off to our rooms. (4th floor) 

           We walked out of the elevator and we immediately see these group of doors, trying to purge and knock down the door of Room 205 A.  I smirk at Harper. "Omigod, Finn's inside!" I giggle, giving her a little nudge. She laughed, beckoning me to come into the room first. Harper inserted the key card. As the door "beeped", the door was released, and it became unlocked. We walked in and smelt the freshness of the room.

                                                                          Saturday 7:55 AM

          I took a deep breath. I looked over at Riley who was just creepily grinning at me. 

"Good luck!" She chirped. I nodded "thanks" and grabbed my old homework on Pre-Algebra and a dusty old textbook. I waved "bye", as I scurried out the door.

           I looked to my right and saw Room 205 A with a lot of girls trying to break down the door. I chuckled light and began to crack my knuckles. I fluffed my hair and held my papers and textbook tightly.

"Girls?" I began. They all began to quiet down.  "I heard that Finn is downstairs in the lobby. You girls should catch him before he leaves," I smiled, stifling a laugh.

           "Omigosh!" They say in unison. The group of girls began to herd together and stampede their way to the elevator. Once they left for sure, I laughed so hard. Tears fell out of my eyes. When I was done, a face peeked out in Room 205 A. Finn was watching me the whole time. Gahh. 

           I gasped lightly in surprise. "What the hell, Finn!" I giggled. 

           "Damn, you look more beautiful in person. Your laugh is so cute," he winked. I shook my head and I headed inside. Butterflies started to rise up in my stomach. I'm in a celebrity's hotel room, I thought in realization. Finn grabbed my arm and was leading me into- I guess his room. I gulped as he close the door. Oh, also, I may have gulped a little too loud.

           He chuckled, "It's okay, I'm not gonna rape you." "Yeah, that's what a pedophile sounds like," I laughed. "Maybe I am," Finn winked.

I shook my head and sighed jokingly. Before I started tutoring him, I asked how much I was getting paid.

          "Maybe, $30 dollars and hour; maybe I can raise the price a bit," he smirked. "It's okay, I just want my money," I laughed, all cheerfully.

           "Also, maybe, we can go to the mall after, get some soft pretzels," Finn twirls my hair.

            I felt my face get hot. Did Finn just ask me out? "Um, but, Finn, I barely know you..."

           Finn turned red in frustration. "God, did she just turn down on me?" he muttered. I just looked down at the math notes.

           "C'mon, maybe- maybe it's just not the right time, you know?" I implied. "Yeah- it's okay, I'm sorry," he shook his head and starts laughing awkwardly. 

          I cleared my throat and beckoned him over on the bed. I began to tutor him. Taught him the basics. Even though he asked me out, I did want to except, but I wasn't feeling it. The time will come, I think to myself, smiling timidly.
