Chapter 3
The next couple of weeks I kept myself on track by waking up at 7:00am every morning to workout and I really concontrated on improving my eating habits. Hey, looking decent was a must if I was going to be near my fave band.
About a week before the ticket went on sale Stephanie came over so we could calll up the best hotels in Winnipeg and find out which one they were going to be staying at."You first" I said. I wasn't the best at calling for things like this. She picked up the phone and dialed the number for the Richmont Hotel,
a real pricey one. "Hello" Steph said,"I was just wondering if you could check your
records for me and inform me if anyone under the last name Hanson will be staying in your hotel for April 12?"
She calmly said. She covered the mouth piece, "their checking" she told me. We waited, I glanced at her with envy, she always seemed
to be so lucky, she had light brown highlighted hair, huge green eyes and full lips and although she
was petit at 5"2 she always looked terrific. Tons of guys liked for, none of which she would ever go out with because according to her she would "soon be going out with Taylor" I was used to Stephanie so whenever she started on the "her and Taylor" subject, I'd just roll my eyes and keep my
mouth shut. Our love for Hanson kept us fairly close but sometimes it seemed to turn into a competition
over " who had more pictures" or stupid things like that. But in all we were
really good friends. "Their not checked in?" Stephanie questioned the man on the phone. "OK, thanks very much for checking, goodbye." She hung up the phone. We called all the expensive hotels in city and did the same routine, but it turned up that they had not checked itno any of them. So we started on the less expensive hotles. we called most of them until we got to the Garden City Inn, I called and asked ofr that one although I was sure they would not stay there. The women over the phone came back ontot the line, "Hanson?" She repeated. "Yes, Hanson is registered here. My eyes widened, "um..can you please double check that for me?" I doubtfully asked."Sure" the women said,"but it says right here, It's under Walker Hanson, April 12."I covered the reciever, "Stephanie!!! there checked in!" I excitedly yelled. "book in, book in" Stephanie yelled jumping up and down. "Um...do you have any rooms left for Aplril 12?" I asked as calmly as I could. "Yes we have, would you like to book one?" The women asked. "We'll take one" I said. I finished booking us in and got off the phone.
I shook my head still not believing, "Stephanie, can you please tell me why they would be staying at the Garden City Inn?"
She shrugged her shoulders, "Well, if you think about it, it has an awsome
water slide and not many fans would think to follow them and check in there."She said thoughtfully. "Yah, I guess that could be why." I said.
We hung out at my house for a while longer until she went home. "See ya tommorow" I yelled as she walked across the street to her house. I had a hard time falling asleep that night cause I was so excited, but as usuual I finally drifted off.
