Ch9

Recap:  end of Ch8

“Ooh lets go over here to eat” Corinne skipped over to a cute little café and flung her self down.

“POPPY IS THAT YOU?” A loud voice asked 

Poppy's POV

I turned around to look for the face that I have missed for so long.

There she was, sitting on the table over the other side of the room.

“Brooke !! Oh my gosh !” I screamed as I ran across over to her and wrapped my legs around her waist , hugging her.

Brooke Isbel. The one and only , Brooke.

“How have you been? Are you good ? I bet your good  ! You look great ! Where are you working now ? Oh my god ! Last time I saw you was at highschool ! Are you still dating Matt ? You were such a cute cou-“

I cut her off.

“I was rambling, wasn’t I ?” She laughs.

“Just a tad” I winked.

I grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her over to where Corinne was sitting. Just her and her big bowl of chips and gravy.Wait … When did she get that ?

“Corinne this is Brooke , Brooke this is Corinne” I introduced them to each other. Corinne mumbled out a ‘hello how are you’ but it sounded nothing like it due to the amount of food that was in her mouth and Brooke waved and smiled politely.

I motioned for Brooke to sit down with us so we could have a gossip session and so I could answer a few of those hundred questions she rambled about.

“I only have like 10 minutes to talk because I have to get back to work but here’s my new number so we can meet up again” She smiled.

We talked about a few things until she asked the question.

The question I was dreading.

“Are you still with Matt?”

“Actually no , we broke up just after we graduate high-school” I smiled sadly.

“Oh no ,” She paused before commenting again “you were such a cute couple”

“Yeah , it’s a pity but oh well, everything happens for a reason” I tried to make things happy again and Brooke sensed that. “So where are you working now?” She questioned. “Actually I’m working at the hospital , as a nurse”

“That’s great” She said before looking at the watch on her wrist and then frowning “Im sorry , I have to get back to work but I will text you and week meet up soon”

We said our goodbyes and she left.

I smiled to myself and turned back to Corinne who was just about to shove yet another handful of chips and gravy into her mouth.I looked at her nearly empty bowl and was shocked.

Man , she works fast.
