I know my way out.

“Okay we will meet you there then.” I smiled and took Alice’s hand and walked forward.

Alice said confused, “But we need to go backwards.”

Tanie suddenly spoke loudly, “I guess you do not know the way out it is backwards.”

I just turned back at her and smiled and said, “I know my way out.”

We turned back and ‘Beep Beep’. I unlocked my car. I looked back and winked at them and said, “We will meet you there.” I opened the door for Alice and we took off.

I could feel the shocked expression in Alice’s face although my eyes were fixed on the road. I glanced her for a second and her expression was so funny to see but I controlled myself. She said, “Wait, you have a car. Oh my god, just what have you been doing all these years. Tell me." “I will tell you everything tomorrow, first lets’ get going.” We reached the parking and she doubted me and asked, "Is this really your car?" We came out and I locked it and she went in shock again. “Yes...”

I wanted to go inside without waiting for others. I actually wished they would not come especially Tanie and Tyler because I was just fine with Alice only. But we waited. Almost no one spoke and after everyone finally reached we went in. Tyler and some others were trying to take a room but it looked like they were trying real hard. We were waiting and one of them came to us and said, “Looks like we will have to go to some other place. It is hard for us here.” “Yeah, we should not have come here, only the filthy rich people has chance here. I wonder who suggested the place”, someone replied. Another person said, “But I heard that more than other things, chicken and beer of this place is just unimaginably tasty.”

I did not know if I would say I was in good luck today or bad luck because a man suited professionally in a rich manner who was the owner of the place saw me. He directly approached me and offered a handshake, “Miss Watson, what a pleasant surprise.” I accepted his hand and shook it away. I did not want attention that my classmates were giving me at that moment. I said, “Hello, Mr. Clinton.”

He said, “Have you already finished your time here? I am so sad that I could not give you service while you were here. I wish I could have come a little earlier.”

I smiled and said, “Actually we just came. My friends are there taking a room for us.”

He said, “Oh, so these people are your friends. Why are you waiting here then?”

I said, “We did not book early and I guess it’s taking time.”

He said, “Allow me have a pleasure to help you then.”

I let out a small laugh and said, “Should I?”

He laughed and said, “Please…” He bowed slightly with his one hand back and one showing inside. I laughed at his gesture and walked in.

The boys were returning and when they saw me they stood still at their place. I just stayed a few distance back with others as Mr. Clinton talked to the receptionist and after the talk he came and looked at me and said, “I am sorry that we actually do not have any rooms available today.”

I replied, “It’s okay Mr. Clinton, thank you for your words though.”

He said again, “But I was wondering if I could… you know… that room when you came with Mr. Wellington and Miss Wellington.”

I immediately responded, “But that would be an inconvenience for you, that’s your private…”

He cut my words and said, “I don’t have work there today so you can have fun. Let me do this much.”

Without even waiting for my response he asked the receptionist the keys and handed it to me. I did not deny it because it was okay I guess. He was the one who insisted anyways. He said, “I will have to take my leave from here, I have some business to finish in my office. Hope you have a wonderful time.” He said and left.

Everyone else were there looking dumfounded. They followed me silently. I said to the ones who took the other lift, “Eighth floor”

We reached and everyone was impressed with the room and they were extra careful too with the ceramics in the room. We ordered the chicken and beer and started having chitchats along with the heavenly taste of the food. I talked with Alice and we changed learnt each other’s new addresses. I actually wanted to have the food second time after having it here but I was busy.

We were already full and just finishing the last drops of our beer and out of the blue one of them asked me, “Sarah, how much will we have to pay for the room? I mean the normal ones out there were expensive.”

I replied, “Don’t worry, he won’t charge us for the room. It is his private room and he does not charge those when they come to this room.”

“You are really impressive. I mean your car that you drove and how you got those wines and this room for free… how did you earn so much?”

I just did not think it important to reply his question and just bluffed, “Nothing…”

Just then what Tanie said made everyone in the room go silent. “Have you been sl*tting around?”

I was ignoring her the whole time but this just triggered me and I said, “Oh yes, I remembered something. Tanie, why don't we go to balcony and settle our unfinished business first?”
