The Adventurous Adventures
Of
Tobi and Elliot
Tobi Palomino can't drive. She absolutely, without a doubt Can Not Drive. I screamed again as she sped past a stop-sign. "Tobi," I cried "you just past another one!" My sister turned her head around and looked behind us. "Wait, Really?" She asked. "Eyes on the road, EYES ON THE ROAD!" I yelled again. "I didn't see any stop sign." She said to me, still not looking at where she was going. "Pedestrians!" I shrieked in terror as she jumped a curb and flew onto a crowded sidewalk full of people, who intern screamed and knocked each other over trying to get out of the way of the runaway golf cart. One lady threw her bag at the cart. Rude. "Whoop!" Tobi yelled. I looked ahead and saw probably the scariest thing I could have possibly seen at that moment besides my life flashing before my eyes. "That's a wall." I said. Tobi opened her eyes "What?" I pointed ahead of me "That's a wall that's a wall THAT'S A WALL!" Tobi gasped, took a sharp left, and sailed into a parking lot. Barely missing the corner of the wall. Tobi's foot slammed on the brake and the cart came to a grinding halt. Perfectly Parallel Parked. Tobi was breathing heavily, I was barely breathing at all. My hands gripped the sides and the dashboard for dear life. "There, you see?" Tobi said, unbuckling her seat belt. "You worry too much, Ell." She looked over at me. I was still recovering and had just managed to start breathing again. "Hey, Elliot?" Tobi asked. "Are you OK? Your eyes are all crazy and I think you're starting to hyperventilate." I looked over at her. Her caramel colored hair was wild from the wind and her face was flushed from excitement. "You. Are crazy." I panted. Tobi Laughed. "Dang, bro. For a boy, you sure get scared easily." I glared at her. "Yeah? Well guess who just proved Uncle Mike right about women being terrible drivers?" Tobi's smile widened into a cocky smirk. "Well, you're alive aren't you?" "Barely!" "Barely is still alive, dork." She said defiantly, jumping out of the cart. "your the dork." I grumbled, gingerly stepping out of the cart, almost afraid that the ground would give way and swallow me up. wouldn't be the first time. I thought. Tobi whistled low and long. I walked over to her. She was looking at the cart, or at least what was left of it. I rubbed the back of my neck and sucked in some air through my teeth, making somewhat of a hissing noise. "Wow," I said "Yeah" Tobi mutterd
"you broke it"
"Yuh-huh"
"I mean, its just...Wow"
"I know, Ell." She muttered.
"Uncle Mike it gonna be piiiiiiiiiised."
" I know Ell," she said again rubbing her hand along the broken hood. There was smoke coming out from under it.
"He loved this cart," I said putting my hands in my pockets. "I loved it too" she said quietly.
"well then," i said turning on my heels "you should probably learn how to drive."
"I KNOW ELL!" she said swatting at me, annoyed "I'm just sayin': in the future," another swing " It might be nice" another one " if you would quit" this one almost got me "destroying public property." And with that she punched me in the face.
"the public and its property need to stop being such stuck ups."
