Chapter 35 - City Of El Dorado 6

**Adam Walker's POV**

At least I'm glad she came now, because had Owen continued talking, a fight would have happened. "Oh hey Aurora, fancy seeing you here" Owen said taking his attention off Quinn. She didn't reply which made the atmosphere awkward.

Soon Patrick also arrived just about two minutes before 6pm. "Greetings, Lady Aurora, young master Owen and young master Quinn, hope I didn't keep you waiting here for long" he said with noble etiquette just like earlier today. Aurora and Owen ignored him as for Quinn, "took you long enough" he said grumpily.

"Hey, didn't we also get here before you" Owen argued but Quinn ignored him. After being ignored he said "so are we just going to stand here and do nothing?, we still got two hours till we meet back with the other groups" he said.

We stood there all in silence as most of us were not social people, it's obvious for Aurora, as for Quinn, apart from the 'present' he answers while Ms Evelyn takes attendance, I've only heard him speak today.

And well for me, I also prefer not to talk and Patrick seems to be the same, so we all ignored Owen. We found a place to sit in the park, Aurora and the rest sat alone, while Owen and I sat together.

It was around 7:20pm, the sun had set and dusk had arrived. "Let's go" said Aurora.

And with that we all started walking back to the rendezvous point and it didn't take us long. When we got there, alot of cadets had already arrived. We saw Lily, Ashley, emo dude and Victor.

"Oh hey Aurora, you're finally here, I was starting to think you were going to be late" said lily in an awfully irritating bubbly tone. I don't know why, her personality just seems to tick me off the wrong way. "As if, I'll ever be late" instaed of Aurora, it was Owen that responded.

"Oh didn't see you both there" she said gesturing to both Owen and Quinn. "This bitch" Owen muttered and whether she heard him or not I didn't know but I did see her eye twitch for a split second, so maybe she did hear him.

They started talking with each other with the exception of Aurora, and I simply faded to the back ground, it didn't take long before Luke arrived. "Everyone I'm gonna give you keys to your hotel room" he said.

–"What?, we're spending the night in this city?" a cadet asked.

–"that's news to me?" Said another.

And they were right, even I thought were going back to the academy today, I never thought we're spending the night here.

As if guessing what the chattering was about, Luke continued "I see you're all confused, it's my bad, I forgot to say that the trip was for two days, so we're going back tomorrow, so we're spending the night here" he explained with a sheepish smile, gesturing to a tall sky scraper adjacent to us. He seemed more like Owen than the other scions I've met.

He brought out a stack of cards from his storage, before sharing them among us, the card was white with red stripes running across it's edges, it read 'Hotel Clásico' with the numbers F72, R507 on it. I guess it meant the seventy second floor and five hundred and seventh room.

"Adam, what numbers did you get" sake Owen. I showed him the card I got. "wow we're just a few rooms apart" he said showing me his card, it was the same floor bot his room number was 504.

After everyone got their card, Luke started again, "Now everyone can go freshen up, in thirty minutes we'll have a grand feast in the hotel's restaurant".

We entered the hotel and navigated to our rooms. "See you in a few" said Owen before entering his room. I entered my own room, while it was extravagant, it wasn't half as good as our dorm rooms, speaking of dorm rooms, I've got to check how the top ten rooms are. After checking out the room, I went straight to the bathroom.

Luckily, I always have a spare of both my normal clothes and uniform in my storage, else I'll have to repeat the clothes I was currently wearing. I quickly took a bath in about five minutes, not like I was a girl so what did you except.

After I dressed up, I walked out of my room, but there was just one problem though, I didn't know where the restaurant was, luckily I encountered a hotel staff who gave me directions. When I arrived at the restaurant, luke and a few cadets were already there.

"How the hell did you get new clothes?" asked an exasperated voice. Turning around I saw Owen with an go smacked expression.

"Simple, I always have a spare in my storage, don't you?" I asked even though I already knew. "Of course not, why didn't you tell me?" he asked.

"You didn't ask" I replied just in time to see the other scions entering as if it was a planned entry. And what's surprising was that they were each wearing different clothes from earlier.

"See, they all have spares", I said gesturing to the scions which only made him more dejected.

"All right since everyone's here, let's feast" said Luke. With his words waiters and waitresses came to each table to collect orders. Owen and I were the only ones on our table, I ordered a grilled azure catfish with a lemon juice, while he ordered some cakes and donuts.

"You really love seafood huh" he commented. "And you love sweet foods" I countered. "Yep that's me" he replied. I enjoyed the meal, it really was a feast, maybe I should get some for the road.

"That was fulfilling" Owen stretched. "Dude the only thing you ate was snacks" I scoffed.

" It's still food, anyway see you tomorrow, I'm tired so I need to get some sleep" he said standing up.

After Owen left, I stayed there for about thirty minutes, some cadets were going back to their rooms while some were going out, as for me ... Well I'm also going out, there are lots of stones that need rescuing.
