Tricks Of The Trade - Chapter 2

Who would think the hobo with the pink scarf would hit me with his car? Since when do hobos even own cars?
"I was an innocent bystander..." I said in the most vulnerable voice I could think of.
" You ran in front of my car on a green light for a Crunch chocolate bar you dropped! How is that innocent?"
" First of all it was a KING SIZED Crunch bar and "Keven" ( I added the " gesture with my hands) you really gotta take a shower."
"That's it I can't handle this girl." says "Keven" and walks our of the hospital room.
Oh yeah I forgot to tell you I broke my arm, because of "Keven's" senseless driving. Crunch bar or not it was his fault. Plus his car didn't get totaled or anything my ARM did! How am I supposed to survive cooking courses with a broken arm? The only useful thing would be to crack an egg on my cast. I hope he loses that stupid pink scarf of his.
The doctor (Dr.Delicious I would say, that man wasn't bad looking at all) said I needed to wear the cast for about 2 months. I guess it wasn't too bad, I got the doctors number out of it at least.
Ely wouldn't leave my side, it got pretty annoying but since he felt so sorry for me he also did what ever I asked him too do. So no oredering from Starbucks for me for a few months. Happy Chloe.
I also survived my first cooking class the next day, I know flirting with the teacher is bad but I mean come on. Why would he be good looking and young if there wasn't the opportunity to flirt? The even better part was he had to help me the most because of my arm I reminded myself to thank the hobo the next time I saw him hitting some innocent person with his car.
It was Friday night and I was making my way inside the apartment me and Ely share that's when Nancy called me. I hadn't heard from her, which was odd but very pleasing.
"Oh my goodness! Deary, John told me that you got hit!!! I'm coming to New York tomorrow to take care of you sweet heart!!"
" NO! " I yelled.
" What!? You don't want me to come?"
I took in a deep breath, this was the time of truth. " Nancy, no I do not want you to come. I don't trust you as my mother anymore. You have betrayed me, then you just walts into my life thinking everything will be okay? I mean come on, get real Nancy you left me and John when I was 1! Then randomly 18 years later you decide you have the right to care? I've learned to live without you and I've been doing great so save yourself the time and leave me alone." And I hung up.
I sighed, hopefully now she got the message. I know that wasn't the nicest way to break it to her but my phone and I really need a break from her.
My eyes were a watering a bit while I was in the elevator. When I finally got up to floor 10 who else will be in front of my door but "Keven".
"What are you doing here?" I ask not looking at him as I look for the keys to my room as fast as I can. This guy really smelled.
" I wanted to come to say sorry and thanks that you didn't bring the car incident to court."
" Yeah, yeah, yeah" I mumbled. " No problem." I finally found my keys and unlocked the door. " Well thanks for stopping by."
" Wait I wanted to ask if you wanted to go to, ummm the movies with me?" "Keven" stuttered.
"Hah, well..... I'm a little busy right now. So maybe another time and if your just doing this as an apology there is no need." I said and quickly closed the door behind me.
I hated rejecting hobos.

Tricks Of The Trade- Chapter One.

I started trudging through the snow, it was late December. But it's been pretty damn cold in the last few weeks. I never liked the cold, but this time I was prepared mostly cause of Nancy. She's the woman who won't give me a break and randomly decided to care about me after leaving me and my dad John for a different family. I could probably live in the arctic with all the pairs of wool socks, sweaters and scarfs she sent me! I'm surprised this passed through the post office, with all the wool she used I expected them to sue Nancy for sheep abuse.
As if on cue, my cell phone rang; it was Nancy. I hesitated but answered the call.
" WHY HAVEN'T YOU CALLED ME BACK!"
" Breath Nancy."
"I will NOT! I was scared half to death. Somebody could have killed you in that god forsaken city! Have you any clue how worried I was? I take back letting you live there with your brother!"
My bother's name is Ely, him and Nancy never really got along, well actually nobody gets along with Nancy other then her creepy ass husband Frank. I would say it's cause he takes back letting Frank marry Nancy I have no clue how he survives.
" Well, not everything happens as planned Nancy. "
" And that's a real shame Chloe Jane."
I was cursed with having two names as one. Plus Chloe Jane doesn't even make any sense. John says they wanted my name to be unique. Yes having stupid kids walk up to you asking if your sure Jane isn't your last name is very unique.
" I prefer only Chloe. I have been through this more then one hundred times." And I hung up. Nancy will call back any minute freaking out, so just to save time I turned my phone off.
I finally slid into my favorite Starbucks on Chambers. I stay away from the one on Church Street, for even though the name sounds holy the thugs on that street aren't the nicest.
When I stepped in I was greeted by Ely. We have coffee together every Thursday, we call it our New York ritual.
He led me to our usual spot; the booth on the left corner. This booth had the best view of Chambers.
"It's your turn to go order" said Ely looking at me expectantly.
I pretended to ignore him and kept looking out the window.
" Hey look! It's the old hobo guy with the pink scarf." I said pointing at the man through the window.
" I already told you, his name is Keven and he isn't a hobo... he just decides not to shave."
" Nope, he's a hobo I can smell him from here." I said plugging my nose to add an effect.
Ely burst out laughing " Okay I'll go order, but next time your ordering for sure"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." I mumbled.
Just as Ely left I turned on my phone. 10 missed calls and 15 text messages; all from Nancy. I swear that lady either has problems or decided to send one word in each text. I deleted all the missed calls and texts ... only one caught my eye. It was from the The Arts Institutes, I was very interested in taking some courses in cooking. That was my only excuse to come live in New York with Ely, and it worked.
Ely slid in the booth with my usual white hot chocolate and his coffee. I am not the biggest fan of coffee so of course I get the next best thing.
While drinking our drinks me and Ely play our favorite game; Who's That Freak!? I said the hobo with the pink scarf was the best freak, again Ely reminded me the hobo was a so called "Keven". So I reminded /him that I knew a hobo when I saw one.

After a good half an hour me and Ely left our booth and stepped back into the insane cold.

Twilight the movie

Personally, I think Twilight the movie is no comparison to the book. For one they didn't have my favorite part ( when Bella and Edward are at the jeep before they leave for the baseball game) and in the first book Bella and Edward did not get close to kissing eachother and in the movie they were like making out which made no sense! I mean if your going to base the movie on the book don't add things that didn't even happen. Also Robert Paterson is ugly, which makes also no sense because Edward is supposed to be beautiful! :P Also I'm not a real big Kristen Stewart fan, she just never adds any emotion, everything seems life less. She didn't do a really good job in the movie Into The Wild.
I am hoping New Moon will turn out 1000 times better because they have a new director!!
Keep yur fingers crossed! :]
