summary
So in between these pages nothing really important happens except some things. Like Ashely is going on dates and getting closer to a one of her workers, Patrick. Even though she was told not to get too attached to him because he tends to break girls hearts. What really happens is he will like a girl and she will like him back then next thing you know Patrick ends up leaving to a different place, state, etc. But Ashely still went out on dates with him and when it's time for him to leave the shocking thing is she gets a little down but ends up getting over it. What else happened was Ashely accidentally saw one of her friends from school at a store. That conversation was really, really, really awkward. And of course Ashely regrets it. Last but not least the strange thing about working at the coffee house is there is a strange man that will come in the store shout out some things and leave. And he will always have headphones in his ears. And one time the owner Malcolm went up to the guy and Malcolm was wondering what the guy was listening to. And the man just freaked out and hit Malcolm on the head. Basically knocked him out. When I read this first of all I thought this guy has problems and that Malcolm should not go near him in fact no one should. And the biggest thing that happened in the book was Earl got hurt. Earl is a friend of Ashely that works at the gas station late at night and since Ashely lives in the camper she sometimes goes to Earl and talk to him. But what happened was Earl was at the gas station and someone came in told Earl to give him all the money they had and knocked him out really bad. But the strange thing is the the person who robbed the place went to the camper where Ashely sleeps. But Ashely did not answer the door and the robber had difficulty opening the door and left. But the strange thing is it seemed that the robber knew someone was in the camper. But anyways Ashely found Earl bleeding on the floor that's when she called 911.

Reaction
So this is the part where Ashely visits Earl at his house. And they are discussing about how Teddy might tell Ashely that she can not live in the camper anymore because it was too dangerous. And Ashely does not know where else to do she can't get an apartment because she is not making enough money. But the reason I picked this quote is because Ashely is lucky for having him as a friend like Earl. He is going to try and talk to Teddy to persuade him to let Ashely still live in the camper. And Earl also covered up Ashely when he told them what happened when he got hurt because. If the police found out that they are hiding Emily in the camper they are in some serious trouble. But Earl said she came to visit an old friend. Even though Ashely saved Earl's life Earl did some favors for her too so know they are even.
who was that person at the camper? Will the reader ever find out this mystery?
ReplyDeleteActually the book does not say. A matter of fact they don't even say how the camper appeared at the back of the gas station. Intersting you bring that up I did not even think of that!!
