Note: I wrote this just last night, so I hope you all enjoy this one.
Kristy Thomas had another great idea, and this time it didn't involve baby – sitting. That is long gone now, and she and her friends have moved on. Her idea was this – why not start her own business just like she did with the Baby – sitters Club? She hasn't found the right idea of what type of business it will be yet, but something will come to mind sooner or later. Kristy decided to call up her former vice – president of the Baby – sitters Club and ask her if she's interested in going into business with her, so that's what she exactly did.
She grabbed her phone and called her friend, Claudia. She listened until she heard her friend's voice on the other end.
"Hello? This is Claudia speaking."
"Hi, Claudia."
She recognized her voice.
"Hi, Kristy! What a nice surprise to hear from you!" Claudia exclaimed.
"How are you, Claudia?"
"I'm good. How about you?"
"I am calling because I wanted to talk with you about something."
"What is it that you wanted to share with me? I'd love to catch up sometime," she told Kristy.
"I'd like to tell you now why I'm calling you."
Claudia sighed. This sounded like the Kristy she had known had another good idea in her that that made her want to call. Claudia already has a job of her own, which is teaching art to the middle schoolers who are in seventh grade. She's been a very good success in the past five and a half years, and she doesn't want to quit since she loves this job. Claudia let her friend continue on.
"An idea came up to me a few minutes ago and here I am on the phone with my vice – president."
Now, she was getting the picture.
"Don't tell me what it is, Kristy. I'm going to take a guess. My guess is that you want to go into business."
Kristy wasn't that surprised about Claudia's guess because she got it right. They'd known each other for years and years now that Claudia didn't need to guess like she just did.
"That's exactly correct. I don't have an idea what type of business I want to get into. I was asking if you'd like to go into business with me again."
"Can I think about it? I'll get back to you when I give my answer."
Kristy couldn't tell if Claudia was interested in doing this again or not.
"All right, Claudia. I'll give you as much time you want on my business idea."
"Thanks. It does sound like a good idea, but I never thought about it. I think the BSC was a good one and worked out very well."
"Yes, that was fun. Do you miss baby – sitting?"
"Sometimes. How about you?"
"Of course I do. I've moved on.'
"We all have missed that since we left the club. Kristy, mind if I ask you something?"
"What's that?"
"Do you remember I told you about my job?"
Kristy looked back to the last time they talked about it.
"Not really. What about it?"
"I'm an art teacher for seventh graders. I thought I told you that a long time ago."
"You probably did, but I don't remember you telling me since that was a long time ago."
"I know it was, Kristy. This is what I meant that I wanted to think about it."
When they talked about the Baby – sitters Club, that was something they agreed on they miss baby – sitting.
"Listen, Kristy. I've got to go. I have some errands to run. It was nice hearing your voice again."
"Same to you. Take care."
That was the end of their conversation.
Kristy told herself that now was the right time to think about what type of business she wants to do with Claudia if she accepts.
