My life in vignettes
By: A-kun
READ THIS PLIS!! I hope that if you read this fic you can write back to me, my e-mail is personaefan@hotmail.com, and I'll be pleasant of reading your comments. Another thing, there are some references in here that doesn't belong to me, like the Dune book or the Evangelion song (I wish they were mine, but what can I do?) and I'm taking only for educational purpouses (you know just because of that copyright thing.)
Third part: Watashi ni Kaeri Nasai!! (Please come back to me!!)
The air was humid. It was a cold day. The sun wasn't shinning at all, because the gray clouds covered the sky above the heads of the Everwood citizens.
Since a week ago, Everwood population grew, because four more people added to the list of citizens, and they were welcome with arms wide open. Lauren, Evan's mom, was still trying to make herself a home in that town. It was difficult for her since she was the wife and she didn't have enough people to talk with her. The neighbor from next door was the only companion for this lone woman, because the job of the father, Jon Carroll, abstracted him from the house for more than eight usual hours. He was a lawyer, but in his job they asked to take a case in the Everwood region. Why? Simply because Jon was the best lawyer and in that place laid his best client!.
Evan and her little sister, Alice, were always strange.
In a way Evan was the shy but bright student and Alice was the popular and not so smart blonde in the class, if popularity counts at sixth grade, where Alice were.
They both were getting used to the constantly movings and the constantly pain in the ass that it brought. Alice supported the pain doing friends here, there, everywhere, while Evan..
Well.. Evan just liked to pass on because he was tied just to one person in particular.
They took three days to settle in, since they left NYC, their last residence. In the fourth day, Lauren went to the Everwood High School to talk with the principal and arrange all the things for her firstborn. The Principal didn't even said something and accepted him. And in the fifth day he went to school.
The fist thing that he didn't even want to do was to "meet" him. But seems like destiny has always been playing him a bad joke.
And then he was there.
And he was standing just in front of him. A big smile was formed in his thin lips, his green eyes seemed to look at him, and harmonically they were playing a song with his rounded face.
Ephram raised an eyebrow at the same time he was smiling, like saying: "look who is here now!"
-Evan! What took you so long? I started to think that was a joke of yours.
Evan then, look him straight to the eyes and then he started to talk.
-Well, you know, is not that easy.
-C'mon! let's get going Evan-kun
Back in NYC, Ephram and Evan had a contract. They both called each other Ephram-kun and Evan-kun, just because that manga thing. For Japanese people, they called to each other with this termination that means "friend". It was a way of saying "he's my friend and I have plenty confidence and trust over him!"
Evan was still frightened, because he started to realize of this things and started to remember, as if a river were carrying his memories into his mind again.
He remembered when they started at school.
He remembered the parties and the friends.
He remembered the places that both of them visited.
He remembered the death of his best friend's mom.
And then he remembered what both of them were trying to keep in the bottom of the sea of darkness.
-You still remembered..?
-Of course! How can I forget such a thing! You know? There's not much people in here that talks like that; in fact, there's no people in here that likes manga as well as both of us do!
Evan then started to think.
Didn't he remember it? Didn't Ephram remember it??
Once again, the doubts and the memories were filling his mind, with stories and other things, his brain started to react.
"Let's take it slow. maybe we should wait.."
-You're now Ephram-sempai
"Sempai". that was what you used when you called somebody closed to you an upperclassman, or a student that had more time in the school even if he wasn't in a upper class than yours!
-I don't like it at all.. let's just leave it in Ephram-kun, ok?
-Sure.
They both were taking the same classes, destiny again? Yeah! "kami" was playing him a bad jooooke!
The smell in every classroom was different, and more if you are with somebody that you like, like a friend. Were they took Literature smelled like freedom and the classroom were they took biology smelled like science. But those perfumes were accompanied always by the doubt and the memories of him.
When they soon realized they were in the free hour they used to release all those bad things and then enter back to take the classes, they went to eat. It was lunch time also. So they both were going to the cafeteria to eat something, even if it wasn't real food.
-So, Ephram, you know how to drive, and also have a car?
-Well. yeah, after all I talked with my dad and both of us agreed
-Hahaha!
-What's so funny?
-Nothing at all.. it's just that I missed you
-c'mon!
-Sure man!
-And what about you, Evan? You know how to drive? or got a car?
-The only thing that I got is my skateboard. and you know that I'll be competence to Tony Hawk
-Ow! I know you're better than him, especially when you fall of it and hit the ground
-What! I never felled, not once!
-Yeah.. not once, but twice..
-Who's counting anyway??
Ephram was happy. He was smiling and laughing out loud remembering the things in the past and the things that much of the friends of him have done. The sarcasm of both guys seemed to fill the area along with the memories. The river was going down again, and in its flood it was something that he needed to remember.
A pair of girls then appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria. One of them had a round face and tiny eyes, her dark hair made a good combination with her almost pale skin. The other girl was a blonde, she really had in her face the all the sweet and all the things you could expect in a nun. Both of them where talking one to each other and when they realized that Evan was looking at them, they stopped and looked back at him.
The blonde then started to walk towards Ephram.
-Ephram. -then she paused to look to the other side, where Evan was. She then smiled him and then turned around to Ephram -Do you know what was the homework for literature?-
Ephram then said to her with his soft voice
-Yeah, he said he wanted an essay about the Spanish writers -Spanish?.. uh.. ok. thanks.
She then walked away, now to her friend.
When they were both far enough from it, Ephram talked to Evan, softly, almost as a whisper.
-That was Amy
A rush of memories stroked again his mind. Evan started to remember that once Ephram was talking to him about a blonde that was driving him crazy. And that was, then, Amy. He cannot believe that he met Amy! The one and only Amy that his friend kissed!
He then started to realize that because of the voice tone that Ephram used, he now wasn't in love with her. The voice, the movements, everything. Since Evan was a drawer he was so observant that he can notice quite fast about the feelings of both. He can realize that even when Amy greet him with an smile, she was passing by lots of troubles, and unluckily Ephram will never be there for her, because she wanted that way.
Evan read once in the book of Dune that there were some race that did the same as him. Well, it was not a race, but a brotherhood, a sisterhood in fact, because they were all girls. They were called "Honoradas Matres" aka, the Bene Gesserit.
If he were in that book, then he will be a Bene Gesserit because he realized of feelings and much of the things just with seeing.
It wasn't long enough, when Evan talked back to him.
-The Amy that was your only chat topic with me?...
-Yeah, the one and only Amy Abbot.
The afternoon came with a soft wind and a fresh almost humid night. All the day was like that, and now it was finishing. It was like 08 o'clock when Evan turned his computer and then connected it to the internet. He was so excited about being there, it felt like a new beginning. Like when you see the first new chapter in a new season of your favorite TV show, that was the feeling.
The sounds of the computer then wake him up from those dreams. He then realized that one of his friends was connected as well as him. The nickname "Tetsu_guy" made him realize who he was. Obviously there was one guy in this earth that loved so much "Tetsu", the manga series, that he can wear it as a nickname.
He started to type and type one after another word. Then, Evan, with a sad face turned off the computer.
It was time.
"I didn't want to.. but I have to talk with him about it.." He tought.
"I know it wasn't a dream, and that it might change everything with him but, I have to gamble it."
"A dice game, my heart dice game."
"Sugoroku" was the word in Japanese for dice game.
"I cannot believe it" thought again "but I have to make a choice right now, and that choice will affect all the game.. If I bet to the wrong number, then I can lost one precious friend.. but If I not, then I will remain the same as now, and the pain will kill me slowly as the poison."
He then exited his house heading to the north. Two blocks next and there was the house of Ephram. His final goal of this night was to reach it, and to reach Ephram's memories and heart.
When he was walking he realized of some words in Japanese that he heard once in a disc said by one of the characters of Evangelion, Asuka Langley ..
Zankoku ha yasashisa no naka ni
"Cruelty lies within kindness."
