Simone Elkeles Quotes

Two Weeks Later I'm The Last One In The Locker Room To Change For Gym. The Click Of Heels Makes Me Look Up. It's Carmen Sanchez. I Don't Freak Out. Instead, I Stand And Look Right At Her.
"He Was Back In Fairfield, You Know," She Tells Me.
"I Know," I Say, Remembering The Hand Warmers In My Locker. But He Left. Like A Whisper, He Was There And Then Disappeared.
She Looks Almost Nervous, Vulnerable. "You Know Those Giant Stuffed-animal Prizes At The Carnival? The Kind Practically Nobody Wins, Except The Lucky Few? I've Never Won One."
"Yeah. I've Never Won One, Either."
"Alex Was My Giant Prize. I Hated You For Taking Him Away," She Admits.
I Shrug. "Yeah, Well, Stop Hating Me. I Don't Have Him, Either."
"I Don't Hate You Anymore," She Says. "I've Moved On."
I Swallow And Then Say, "Me, Too."
Carmen Chuckles. Then, Just As She Walks Out Of The Room, I Hear Her Mumble, "Alex Sure As Hell Hasn't."
What's That Supposed To Mean?
