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.
