Chapter 132
I hear them talking later that night while I'm lying in bed, trying to get to sleep.
"He'll be fine, Naboo." I hear Howard saying exasperatedly. It's the voice he uses when I'm being stubborn.
"I'm not sure."
"He'll be fine." I think they're talking about me.
"How can I know that?"
"You saw how he was with me today. He'll be fine, trust me." I hear Naboo sigh at this.
"I just don't know, Howard. You know how he can be with people."
"I'm not people, Naboo. I'm me, I'm his best friend!"
"I know, it's just…" He trails off and sighs again. "I don't know."
"Naboo, Vince be fine with Harold."
"My name's Howard."
"Shut up, Bollo helping you."
"Sorry."
"Anyway, Vince be fine with Harold, even if he is ballbag. Harold, not Vince."
"Do you have any particular reason for verbally abusing me?"
"Bollo help."
"If that's idea of help, I dread to think what you consider an insult."
"But it true!"
"It is not true!"
"It true. Harold ballbag!"
"My name's Howard!"
"Will you two shut up?" Naboo says, cutting them off. "You'll wake Vince up."
"Sorry Naboo." Howard says quietly.
"Sorry Naboo. It true, though."
