~~FLASHBACK~~ He looked back towards the RV, they were probably waiting for him, they were going to ask questions, questions that he probably had no answer to. ~~END OF FLASHBACK~~
When he climbed back in the RV, Amy was in the back sitting at the table that they were at before. Bright was still in between 2 girls, only this time they were different ones. Bright looked over at Ephram, "Dude, what took you so long?"
Ephram closed the door and started walking back towards Amy, "Ran into Madison…" he said quietly, at first he thought about lying to Bright, but Amy was right there, and what did he have to hide?
"Wait…Madison was there?! What happened? And you better not have cried…" Bright said while breaking up a cat fight between 2 of his dates.
"No, I didn't cry…we just talked" Ephram said as he sat down across from Amy.
"Well….are we gonna get any other details?" Bright asked curiously, then he saw Amy's face, she looked crushed.
"You don't need any details…there aren't even any details…we talked, that's it…" Ephram turned and looked out the window.
"Alright, whatever…let's get this party started!" he said with enthusiasm.
When they got to prom, there were already tons of people there. They all climbed out of the RV and walked inside. Bright and his dates went straight to the dance floor, while Ephram and Amy went to find a table.
"Here?" Ephram asked making his way to an empty table in the back.
Amy glanced at him and then at the table, "sure…"
Ephram pulled the chair out for her, like the gentleman that he was and then took his own seat.
"So what did you and Madison talk about?" Amy asked with curiosity. She hoped that nothing had happened. What if they got back together? She thought, I mean he still loves her, it's obvious, but it seemed like he was starting to get over her…why does this always happen? Why do I have to like him? Why can't he just be Ephram?
Ephram thought about telling her what really happened, but he wasn't really sure himself. Everything had happened so fast, he replayed it in his mind a couple of times, but it still wasn't clear. He and Madison were in some sort of "gray area."
"Not much…I-I asked her about her finals…and stuff" he replied, hoping she would buy it.
"Finals? That's it?" she asked him, shocked. She was crying. Why would he go talk to her about finals when she was crying? But why would he lie? Does he know? Is he trying to protect me? He knows. He has to know, and he just doesn't want to hurt me. Bright! God, why do I tell him anything?!
"Pretty much…I mean she was a little jealous…but I-I told her that we-that we were just friends" he smiled at her, oblivious to her feelings.
"Oh…" she said slowly, "right…cause we are…just friends…" at that moment, she wished she hadn't thrown out those pills.
"Yeah" Ephram said, still oblivious. He started to get up, "Want something to drink?"
"Yeah…sure" she replied quietly.
What's wrong with her? Did I say something? No. She's probably just pissed that she was forced into coming with me. I don't really blame her. It's not like she didn't have other offers. Why did I come anyways? Well I guess I'm glad I came…I mean if I hadn't come I wouldn't have run into Madison. God, back to that again, why can't my mind stay away from her? Madison kissed me. Madison loves me. Ok stop it. The only way you're gonna have any fun tonight is if you forget about it. Tomorrow you can think about it, but not tonight. Amy's already pissed, I'm definitely not the ideal prom date, and if I keep thinking about Madison, I'll be even less ideal. He thought as he poured some punch into his cup.
He grabbed the already filled cup for Amy and walked back to the table.
"Here you go…just pray that someone spiked it" he smiled at her and she smiled back. He was happy to get some sort of reaction out of her.
"So…feel like dancing?" she asked, hopeful. She decided to stop thinking and just try to have fun, after all, she was with Ephram, what more could she ask for?
"Sure…why not? But I'm just warning you…I suck" he said honestly.
Amy stood up and held out her hand, "C'mon…you're not that bad"
Ephram took her hand and started to stand up, "Thanks" he sarcastically replied.
They made their way through the crowded dance floor and found a spot, not too close to the speakers. Amy started dancing and Ephram just sort of stood there, kind of swaying back and forth.
Amy laughed at him, "C'mon…don't be so stiff!"
"Stiff is my middle name" Ephram yelled back over the music.
Amy tried teaching Ephram how to dance, but it just wasn't happening. The only thing he knew how to do was slow dance, but even those were awkward. Mainly because every time he got closer to Amy, he thought of Madison, and Amy sensed that his mind was on someone else.
When they got tired of "dancing" they went back to their table.
"Well that was fun…" Ephram said, taking a sip of his punch.
"Yeah…but one of us needs some work…" she said, laughing.
"Don't say I didn't warn you…" he said and smiled back at her.
The rest of the night, they just sat at the table, entertained by Bright, who was trying to divide dance time equally between his dates.
"I'm surprised he hasn't mixed up their names yet" Ephram said watching him switch back and forth.
Amy took a sip of her punch, "I wouldn't be surprised if he was just calling them A, B, C and D"
They laughed together as they continued watching Bright.
Son the prom was over. The RV dropped Ephram off at home. When he opened the door he saw his dad, asleep on the couch, holding a magazine. He smiled to himself and went up to bed.
The next day Ephram was walking downstairs when there was a knock on the door. He figured it was probably Nina or something.
He opened the door to find Madison standing there.
(A/N I know that there weren't any E/M moments, but I couldn't just leave the prom out, don't worry the next chapter will be full of E/M)
