RA 5: I'm Back

I'm weak.

Not like that.

Never have I ever walked out on my family no matter how annoying they got.

That's kind of why I'm in the situation I'm in anyways..

I wandered around half the night until I finally passed out on a bench.

I don't ever recall being that tired.

Long story short, I was not comfortable due to those stupid metal bars and decided to go back to the hotel.

By the time I made it back, it was 9:00 a.m.

Everyone looked at me on the elevator ride up, probably because my face was really swollen.

It always is when I first wake up.

I was ready to face the wrath of the animals when I came up to the door.

I didn't want to come back. I wasn't going to come back.

But I had a mission.

And I left Robin unanswered.

I don't even know what to tell her, but I know that she can be very wreckless when she doesn't get the info she wants.

I raise my hand and knock on the door gently.

I hear no SpongeBob, I hear no Phineas and Ferb and I hear no Degrassi. Strange. They must be asleep although that is a rare occurrence.

I knock again, louder this time.. no answer.

Three minutes later and I look like a fool trying to pick the lock to this stupid door.

"Hey!" An over zealous voice screams right into my ear.

I look slowly over to my side, safety pin still in doorknob, "Hello?"

This is a pretty big guy. By 'big' I mean tall, and this guy cannot be over 18 years old.

"Watcha doin' there?" He asks me in the nicest tone.

I continue and say, "Nothing much."

He suddenly looks to the door and points to it.

"Hey, I know this room."

Do you now?

"Yeah," he smiles to himself, "This pretty dope girl is staying here. I bet you're trying to break in, snoop around with your bad self."

"Sure," I say, not really paying attention. I think he's confused anyway. No cool girl is staying here.

"Yeah, she went down to breakfast this morning with her brothers. Has like freaking rose gold hair, was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and shorts. Whoo!!"

You need some Extra, because I'm sure this guy's got a lot.

"I wish I had your guts man. Hey. If you find something, don't be afraid to bother me. Room 234."
