City Gurl

Chapter Ten

A bell dings as we walk into the corner deli. It is warm inside and the counter display is filled with delicious looking foods. My stomach rumbles, even though I already had breakfast.

The place is small, but cozy. There's three tables with four seats at each table, and three booths with four people seats. A counter with things on display stretches through the store. It displays things like sandwiches, meats, and cheeses. In a corner are two vending machines; one for snacks and one for drinks.

Harry and I all up to the counter and he orders first, since I have no idea what to get.

"I would like a roast beef sandwich with Swiss cheese, please," he tells the bred looking lady behind the counter.

I finally decide on a Black Forest Ham and American cheese sandwich. Then I get a Coke.

The lady and a few other people give us our food and we go sit at an moth booth. We are the only ones in the place.

I sigh and take a bite out of my sandwich. Oh. My. God. YUM. HOW THE HELL DID THEY MAKE SOMETHING AS GOOD AS THIS?????!!!!!!

"This is awesome," I say loudly. The counter people look at me and smile. At least they feel happy now.

Harry smiles too and says, "I've known this place my whole life, but I went to it about ten times!"

"Really? This is really good!" I gasp in surprise. If someone said this was bad, I would punch their lights out. Really.

"I know! I never knew sandwiches like this existed!" Harry agrees.

After we finish our sandwiches, we say good-bye to the counter guys and leave. I tell them that I will be back very soon. With my whole family. They grin gratefully.

When we get back to the apartment, I wave to Bernie hello and Harry good bye. He has to go work a bit.

I climb the stairs to my floor and race into my room. Hopefully nobody is up yet. Yeah, right.

"Morning! Where've you been?" Keith greets me at the door.

"Breakfast," I answer. "With that Harry dude. You didn't tell him that I like him, right?" I know right away that I have made a big mistake.

"Ha! So you DO like him!" Keith yells triumphantly. "And no, I didn't tell him, and I won't. He's a nice old chap."

"Chap? Since when are you calling people chap?" I ask. "Nobody uses that word anymore."

"Harry does, so I will too."

"Wow, Keith. Just wow. That is SO babyish!"

Keith shrugs and goes back to TV. I go to my room and plop onto the bed. I stare at my One Direction posters and sigh. I look at Harry in each poster. Then I think about Harry Something. Then it occurs to me that I don't even know his last name yet! Ugh. I need to ask him the next time I see him.

After staring at One Direction for about twenty minuets, I hear some shuffling in the next room. Probably my Mom and Dad waking up.

I pop into their room and say, "Good morning! How's it going?"

Dad groans and pulls the covers over his head. Mom sits up and smooths her hair. What the hell? She's beautiful in the morning! I wish I was that pretty.

"Hello, Evelyn. When did you get up?" Mom asks drowsily.

"Oh, I dunno. Earlier than all of you guys, that's for sure," I laugh, pushing my Dad awake. "Up, Dad! Rise and shine!"

He looks at me weird.

"Since when do we have to get up early?!" He says. "It's not school time yet!"

"Yeah, but it's getting there," I reply. "We gotta be prepared."

But inside, I'm not prepared. No prepared at all.
