“Did you hear the news?” I whispered to Sheila, my best friend. She gave me an annoyed glance.
“What news this time?” she retorted. “You’re always going on about some guy or some girl and how they’re going out and, quite frankly, I don’t care for gossip!”
“No, Sheila, this time it’s big news. Terrible!”
“What, is it that boy you like?”
“NO! Listen to me! It’s much worse than that!”
Sheila opened her mouth to answer, but was interrupted by a scowling man in formal attire who’d been waiting to get his opera ticket for a while now. I grinned sheepishly and made the necessary exchange. Then I turned back to Sheila.
“Sheila it’s, it’s…”
“Well, go on, spit it out already.”
“A mercenary leader took over the castle in Thelaurelene, and he’s got an army of a thousand trained soldiers!”
Sheila stood with her mouth hanging open for a few seconds, and the next customer tapped on the glass wall in front of us. Another necessary exchange was made, and Sheila immediately turned to me, jumping right back into the conversation.
“Are you sure this is real? You have proof?” Her eyes were wider than saucers and her face as pale as fine china.
“Yes, Sheila, I’m positive! Absolutely positive! I learned my news from a very reliable source.”
“Yes, but where’s the proof? You have proof, right? Don’t go scaring me like this for no reason, Claire. I’m not a fool, and I have no reason to trust something you think is for real.” By now her nose was in the air and her arms were crossed. She must have looked very inviting, because another customer banged his fist on the window. I practically tossed his ticket at him and snatched the coins from his fingers, then turned back to Sheila.
“Sheila, I read it in the newspaper!”
She gave me the blankest look I’d ever seen in a long while. “The…” she murmured, “newspaper…” I nodded.
Suddenly, she was laughing. Her jovial expression befuddled me. “What’s so funny?” But she could hardly stop the onslaught of involuntary giggles, which led me to shake her by the shoulders until she would look at me.
“Sheila! Listen to me! What’s so funny?”
Finally she stopped gasping long enough to respond.
“It’s… You read a…” She gasped, “a computer game ad!”
