Chapter 2
"I'm sorry but your room won't be ready until 4:30. You're
welcome to use the pool and all of our facilites until
then."
"Thanks anyway but I think I'll look around the area for a little while." Nicole walked away from the desk while the bellboy took her bags to her room.
She found a cheap place in the Kissimee area of Florida and thought she'd hit the mall for some food. She had slept on the plane and missed lunch. Nicole found the nearest bus stop and waited for the bus. It was already 3:15. Just then the bus came by and opened the doors.
When she got to the mall the first thing she did was hit the food court for some McDonald's. The line was really long and when she got her food and went to look for a spot she realized there were no free tables. She'd have share a table. She picked a two seater where there was girl about 20-21 years old.
"May I sit here?" I asked.
"Knock yourself out. I'm Amanda. What's your name? You new here?"
"Nicole Thomas. How'd you know I was new here? I don't even have a place yet! I got here today."
"Lucky guess? No, no one ever shares a table here anymore. I don't know why, but they prefer to stand. Wow. First day. Do you have any IDEA what you're gonna do?"Amanda asked with a little curiosity.
Nicole noticed her lond black hair and unusually wide grin. "Nope. I'lls I know is that I wanna become a chef."
"You need a place? Cause if my boyfriend doesn't mind and and you're not a pshyco or nothin' you can live with us. No rent. HUGE house. We need someone to watch over the house when we're gone anyway."
"OMIGOD!!You're so nice. Thanks so much! sure! thank you!"
"Okay. give me your number and I'll call you tomorrow."
Nicole finished her lunch and left
Amanda, but not after saying thank you about a zillion more
times.
