City Gurl

Chapter Thirty-Two

"So, Harry?" Brooke chirps in an overly happy voice. "How're things for you?"

"Fine," Harry answers cautiously, like he knows where the conversation is going. I'm just sitting there holding cute little Nina. Nina's sniffing me intently. "You?"

"Oh, I'm great! But just a little lonely. . . as you know, I go to a girls only school." Brooke shoots me a death glare for some reason. What's wrong with public schools other than that they have stupid people? Probably everything in Brooke's world.

"That's. . . disappointing, I suppose," Harry mumbles. Brooke smiles sadly for herself. I almost barf all over Nina at the corniness.

"I'm sorry," I interrupt loudly. "Who are you, exactly?" I look at Brooke. She just stares back.

"Do you really need to know?" she asks rudely. Uh, yes!

"Not especially," I say instead. "But it'd be nice."

"Life isn't always 'nice'," Brooke snaps. "What are you, rich and pampered? Only those snotty people think life is always 'nice'." I open my mouth in shock. What?

Harry clears his throat loudly. "Uh, Brooke, this is my friend, Evelyn." Brooke glares.

"Yeah, and I'm supposed to BELIEVE that?" she sneers. "There's obviously something going on between you two. I'm it that stupid."

'Yes, you are,' I think. 'Most fucking likely.'

"No, really Brooke," Harry insists. "There's nothing going on, promise." I think about how Brooke would feel if there WAS.

"You still haven't answered my question," I tell Brooke. "Who are you?"

"I'm Brooke Evans," she says. "Duh." I roll my eyes.

"I know that. What do you have to do with us?"

"Um, I'm Harry's girlfriend," she says.

"You-you are?!" I gasp. Harry exhales loudly.

"No, my ex," he corrects. "Sorry. We broke up a long time ago." Brooke fake-smiles.

"Oh, Harry, you're so modest. Remember, we got back together!" she says, grinning at Harry really big and bright. Harry rolls his eyes.

"Uh, when?" he asks. Brooke's smile wavers for a second. I stifle a giggle at her stupidity.

"Remember?" Brooke says through gritted teeth. "Like two minutes ago! When I came in, we, like instantly got back together." I actually giggle this time. Harry smiles. Brooke glares.

"That's . . . that's the . . . STUPIDEST thing . . . I-I ever . . . HEARD!!" I guffaw, along with Harry. Brooke looks like she's gonna cry or something. Nina sniffs Brooke's purse.

"Fine then," she says. "Harry, you call me later. You'll see. We're gonna be a couple, just like that." She snaps her fingers. "And you, whoever you are, I forgot your name, you're going to be crying." I giggle again.

"Well, Brooke, the thing is, I already have a boyfriend. And by the way, it's Evelyn."

Brooke squints at me. "So you're cheating, Evelyn?"

"No!"

"Girls, please, let's just separate and pretend this never happened," Harry suggests. Brooke beams at him.

"Ok!" she chirps, snatching Nina from me and dropping her in her purse. "Call me, remember?" Then she's gone.

Boy, New Yorkers are mean.
