"You forgot we were coming didn't you?" asked the girl that Zach had seen texting, Bea looked at her friend, Lisa, and smiled.

"What are you talking out? Of course I didn't" she turned to look at her other two friends, Michelle and Monica "I was just helping Owen with something back at the raptor den and it's not that close, that's why I was late"

"Raptors?" asked Monica, she frowned "As in velociraptors?"

"Yeah" answered Bea as they got on the escalator, few people from them she saw the guy she had crashed against and looked away, she had been so rude to him. "Four girls" added Bea as she looked a Monica.

"Can we see them?!" asked Michelle in her overexcited voice, Bea looked at her and then turned to look at her other two friends, she wanted to say no, but she didn't want to fight.

"Sure" Bea said, almost choking on the words, Owen would kill her "I'll check with Owen and I'll let you know, yeah?"

"Awesome" chuckled Lisa, she took a selfie and texted.

"Who are you texting?" asked Bea.

"Oh, just Carlos" smiled Lisa, she glanced at Bea before turning back to her phone "He wasn't so thrilled that he couldn't come"

Bea looked around the escalator, suddenly not so sure that the payed hotel, food and attractions were worth having to stand the hostile comments that she knew were about to come from Lisa and that would be followed by the other two.

"Why are you friends with them?" Owen's voice echoed in her mind and she once again didn't know how to answer that.

Maybe she was still friends with them because it's hard to cut relationships, and these girls had been friends with her since high school, maybe that made it worse; she wasn't sure she was ready to give up the only friends she had had in school and move on with her life just with the good memories she had shared with them.

"What are you planning for us today?" asked Michelle as they walked off the escalator, Bea led the way towards the hotel.

"Well, first you could get some rest at the hotel" explained Bea "We could grab something for lunch and I'll show you around the 'town', we could get diner, watch one of the night attractions and tomorrow we can be set for the adventure" Bea walked inside the hotel building and turned to the left.

"Sounds fantastic" smiled Monica "You have no idea how excited we are to be here!"

Bea smiled and kept on walking without saying a word, she walked past Zara and the two boys that had been talking to her before Bea crashed against one of them and reached the front desk and leaned forward.

"Hey Susan" smiled Bea.

"Bea" smiled the middle aged woman behind the desk "What can I do for you?"

"I have two room reservations" explained Bea "Connected rooms, each with two beds"

Susan typed in her computer while Bea looked down at her, behind Bea the girls were taking pictures and laughing and Bea couldn't help but wish she wasn't there.

"Of course" smiled Susan, she grabbed four keys and handed them to Bea "Rooms 3015 and 3016"

"Perfect" smiled Bea, she took the keys and turned to look at her friends just as the woman next to Susan handed Zara two keys. "Here you go" smiled Bea as she handed the keys "We can fix who sleeps with who later"

"I'm sleeping in your room silly" smiled Lisa "Like old times, remember?"

Bea looked at Lisa and smiled, she remembered, but as Lisa smiled at her like nothing had ever changed Bea wanted to scream and slap her around; after all that they HADN'T done to help her two years ago, and this girl had the audacity to pretend nothing had changed.
