Syk rock hotel.

A couple of days passed and it was friday. For one Katie had been looking forward to it, though Bel maybe not too much. Either way Katie's happiness was more than enough to make Bel happy; after all she was the only true friend who had been patient with her.

At the college, Bel was seated through one of her major classes in finance management. The class was scheduled to end in two hours and afterwards she would clearly be free from undertaking anymore class; having a single class for the day. She sat through the class paying details to what was spoken, making a few notes. She had her eyes glued to her note seemingly having her mind elsewhere.

College days had always been like that; paying attention to what was being said and trying to visibly stay off trouble, the same reason why she saw no reason a person should make a scandal about her.

The class was an average sized hall, with a modernized setting. A digital screen for teaching and a comfortable atmosphere for learning. A middle aged man stood at the front of the hall with a composed look on his face, explaining a concept to the students.

" Alright students. This is all you would need to know in the element of finance management! Do feel free to brush up on the text and learn more. Anyways time is almost up...and have a good weekend! * He said stepping out of the front stage of the class room and walking out the door. Few students were currently running after him with notes in their hands to make inquiries.

Right now, towards the front role of the class where Bel was seated. She stood up and gathered her things; she had a calm look on her face yet her mind wasn't here.

" Hey! Bel... "

" Hmmm... " She responds slowly bringing her thoughts back to the class room.

" I was wondering if we could be partners in the coming project? I mean you and Katie, who I see is not around today? " A girl said looking at her.

" Oh yeah! Ummm...I would like to. But I think Katie should be informed about it. " Bel said holding her bag in her hands.

" Alright then. See you around! " The girl who approached said before walking away.

According to the college's policy, each graduating student was expected to carry out a team project, choosing other related branches of their field. With this implementation, students have started seeking other students whose field could best compliment them. The same thing also applied to the girl who asked Bel and Katie to have a project with.

Stepping out of the classroom, she began walking towards her scheduled ride. With Katie who skipped class today she clearly had no one else to converse with; hence she walked out of the college ground, towards a gray coloured car parked outside.

......

Towards afternoon, the time was already four; a couple of minutes past four. A gray car drove towards the parking spot of a hotel. Bel stepped out of the car all dressed up causally. An emerald slip short dress, black purse and an ankle strap heel. She was always looking stunning with her choice of dressing; carrying herself as a young and elegant lady from a wealthy family. She walked into the hotel.

" You have a reservation here... Miss? " A young lady asked her. Dressed in a fine suit standing behind a counter at the entrance.

" Well...no. I'm here to see someone! "

" May I ask you call the person please! " The lady asked nicely, keeping a warm smile on her face.

" Sure! " Bel answered pulling out her phone and dialing Katie's number.

Soon Katie came out from the dining area of the hotel and approached Bel. With a warm smile on her face, she planted a kiss on her cheek.

" Oh my sweet goddess! I've missed you already... come let's go inside. " Katie showed her reservation to the attendant lady who had already seen it and soon they were both walking through; heading for the dining area.

The dining hall was very huge, housing a large number of people. A calm and serene environment with gentle music playing in the background, a nice and relaxing environment; making the place highly frequented by businessmen and other individuals of the city.

" Wow! Girl you are on fire...too bad you have a dream prospect! Else I would have hooked you up. " Katie winked at her with one arm around her shoulder, they kept walking forward towards the table Katie's cousin was seated.

" Ta da! Here is my worldwide famous photographing cousin! Steve, and this is Bel." Katie stretched out both hands standing before her cousin who was seated and holding a drink in his hand.

He was a young man between his late twenties; auburn hair well slick back and a deep set of eyes.

" Hello! " Bel waved at him.

" It's a pleasure to meet you...any friend of Katie is my guest for the day! " He said calmly, his feature clearly relaxed from his seat.

" Alright Bel take a seat already. I want you to try some of their best dishes here. " Katie urges taking her own seat while showing Bel the menu.

Bel scanned through the menu, studying the content. Though she hadn't been here before still she had seen some of this dishes, and what Katie actually wants was for her to taste how different the service here was.

" So Katie how are your classes? " He asked with his gaze lingering at his cellphone.

" It's great! Besides, we are graduating soon...and I can't wait to move over and make the trip out of the country! " Sounding very pleased at herself, Katie smiled at him.

He gave a half nod of his head, still keeping his gaze at his phone.

" So... Steve how long are you going to spend outside the country? "

" Maybe a couple of months or less than that! Anyways I won't miss it for your graduation. "

" Ohh..." Katie nods before taking her gaze back towards Bel who was already placing her orders.

" Katie I think you should forget about heading of outside the country for and focus on your project! " Bel said dropping the menu on the table.

" Well I can't help it, it's our supposed vacation! "

" And Collins? "

" Well he would be coming along...maybe we could make it a double vacationing with our boys. " Katie poked at her.

" Oh Katie please! "

" Come on it would work. Besides I seen best friends go on a vacation with their spouse or boyfriend as the case maybe. " Katie snickered, showing her a smile.

" Whatever Katie..." Holding a fork in her hands from having her meals delivered.

The atmosphere around the table was warm, Katie was very much the most happiest person today. Having her best friend and cousin at one table was rare bliss to her.
