When it came time to pick colleges earlier in the year Ephram had
been frantic trying to decide whether he wanted to go back to New York,
stay in Colorado or go somewhere else. When it came time Ephram realized if
he left to go somewhere else other than Colorado he would be uprooting
himself just like his father did. He also had to keep Delia in mind. She
would be entering the 7th grade, when he would have his first year of
college. Delia and him had gotten very close now. She didn't have many
friends, which made her depend on Ephram more, but he didn't mind. He just
didn't want to hurt her when he left. When it came time for him to make a
choice between his old home, New York and his new one he knew that his
future was here in Colorado. All the seniors at Ephram's high school where
becoming highly agitated as college choices where being made. Their
deadline was rushing to a finish. Everyone was jumpy and a sort of
stressful tension was in the air. Ephram watched his fellow seniors in
turmoil and he was happy he had come to a final decision. Denver University
here I come. Since he was going to major in music he had to send in an
audition tape of him playing what else but the piano. He ran to the outside
of the guidance counselor's office to put himself down for a time to be
seen by her.
Amy already knew where she was going for the longest time. Denver University had a great dance program and many Broadway dancers had come out of Denver. The only problem was getting in. If they just based admittance on her dancing then there would be no problem, but they counted grades to and that was not her area of expertise. In her sophomore year her grades had slipped drastically what with Colin being in a coma and her dealings with Ephram. Her junior year had been filled with angst getting over Colin leaving for California. His parents had decided that Colin was not doing well here in Everwood because he was putting to much stress on himself to remember who he used to be. Her senior year was filled with her trying to find herself again. She had trouble becoming Amy after being Colin's girlfriend for so long. She seeked refuge with Ephram because he never saw her as Colin's girlfriend, she was always Amy to him. But Ephram had his own business to do and even though he said he accepted her apology for casting him aside for Colin she knew he still couldn't let go of all the hurt. Maybe she could start a new life for herself in Denver.
Forms and applications where sent out to college by all the students except the few slackers that roamed the high school halls. Throughout the course of the summer, acceptance letters where a highly awaited thing. Amy would run to the mailbox everyday to see if there was anything there for her and each day she returned a little more frightened of the future. Ephram would try to Psyche himself up telling himself that he had average grades and his playing was good enough to be accepted. But a little worry kept manifesting itself in the pit of his stomach.
"Ephram, come her hurry", shouted his dad loudly as he was returning from their mailbox, "there's a letter in here to you from Denver University". He grabbed the letter from his dad's hands and tore it open. He paused a minute, running thoughts through his head and unfolded the papers. He read for a lien or few and looked up at his father. "Well", his father said expectantly. "I'm going to college", Ephram shouted loudly so Nina next- door heard and raced over to congratulate Ephram. "Oh Ephram I was out gardening and I hear you got in that's wonderful news. Where are you going to"? "I'm off to the Denver University on August 31st", Ephram exclaimed loudly. Many thought of happiness where washing down on Ephram as he called to tell his grandparents he made into not only a college but the college he had hoped for.
The days came and went as Amy sat around the house cleaning areas multiple times waiting for either a letter of acceptance or of rejection. One Tuesday afternoon Amy went out to the mailbox and promptly in between the Water bill and a note from her grandma Alice was a letter addressed from Denver University. She rushed inside to open it not calling anyone to tell them of its arrival for fear of being turned down. She grabbed a letter opener form her mom's desk and sliced the letter open. She skimmed the first few lines and shouted a loud squeal. Her mom came running down the stairs yelling to Amy asking her what was wrong and all Amy did was hand her the letter. "Oh honey that's fabulous you got in to the University. We have to go get you some college stuff now."
