Chapter 6

"A little fun at the Browns"

Was this a dream? I can't believe this. Ephram wants me to come over? Man I can't wait. (Emily sat inside the car next to her mom. Her mom promised she would drop her at Ephram's and so she did.). "Thanks mom this means the world to me" I said hopping out the car with my box of comics and CDs. I ran over to the door and rang the bell I looked around and to my left I saw a swinging porch chair that looked quite comfortable. Wow this is one nice porch I thought. I dozed off looking around and then I heard a little voice trying to get my attention. "Are you a friend of Ephram's? Come in" a little girl, said she had on a blue cap that had the New York Yankees logo on it. And she seemed to look more like a tomboy than an average little girl. "Hey" I said to her looking at her cap. I heard my mom beep the horn and then she drove off. She closed the door and turned to me. "I like your cap I am a Yankees fan too" I said lifting my box up higher. "Yeah they are really good I also been a fan ever since I lived in New York" she said as her eyes twinkled. "Hey I see your making good friends with my sister here." Ephram said coming to where I was standing facing his sister. "I am Delia. you are?" she said with a smile. " Emily . her name is Emily Delia now why don't you go finish that puzzle before dad gets home so he could see what great work you did" Ephram said rubbing her head. "Yeah bye Emily" Delia said skipping off to another room. "Bye Delia" I said looking at Ephram. "Umm can I take that box for you" he said smiling. I gave him the box and then I followed him to his room while he spoke about how neat his room is and its quite funny. "A guys room isn't suppose to be this clean" he said resting the box on his bed. "Well it is really clean but I don't care. it doesn't matter" I said smiling at him "it could have been messy I wouldn't care either" I said finishing off my sentence and sitting on his bed. Ephram smiled at me then he began to dig in the box. "So lets see what we have today in the Emily box." He said taking out a hand full of CDs. "I giggled as he looked at me then the items he removed from the box. "Wow" he said, "Yeah I know" I said looking around his room that was really gloomy looking yet comfortable. He finally made a choice and then he lay out on the bed with his legs hanging off the edge facing the head of the bed. He rested the comic on the bed next to me and he began to flick through until he got the urge to read it. "This one looks good," he said as I leaned over him and got a comic for my self. "Yeah that's a authentic piece. It's a classic." I said reading the first page of my comic. "Hey .umm music?" I said standing up as Ephram lay on the bed with his head at the end of the bed and his feet dangling off the head of the bed. "Korn.Metallica.or Deftones?" I asked as he looked up at me. " Those are all good .lets hear some Metallica," he said smiling. We started to talk about Metallica as I came back to the bed. We laughed and joked around and I told him about the comic I was reading and why its so cool and then we began to brag about our collections and we had I fun time. We began to play a little to much I found myself laughing on the bed as Ephram tickled me I began to scream and yell forgetting that its not only me and Ephram in the house. But then I thought Mr. Brown isn't here so what the heck. But I was wrong. "Hey hey I can barely hear my own self with your guest screaming Ephram" it was Dr. Brown standing there by the door. "Oh sorry dad" Ephram said laughing. I wanted to laugh also but I didn't. "Emily is that you?" Dr. Brown said smiling, "yeah hi Doctor," I said waving sitting up on Ephram's bed that was in a mess from all of the fighting we was doing with the whole tickling thing. " I see my son found you after I did. When will I be seeing you for a check up?" "Soon doctor soon" "Call me Andy please its ok dear," he said smiling at me. "Well you guys carry on quietly or rather ill suggests you guys read then tickle.its more quiet and then Ephram when you get the chance turn down that noise." He said winking at Ephram pointing at the CD player. I saw how Ephram gave this half smile as he got up and turned down the volume on the CD player. We began to read again and then I told Ephram how much fun I was having. And he said that he was having fun too. There was silence for a while and then I found myself staring at Ephram a funny way. "Are you ok?" he asked looking at me look at him. "Yeah I think," I said leaning to him. Ephram just sat there and I think he noticed what I was trying to do so he leaned also. And then our lips met and then we began to kiss but before any thing could really happen the box on the bed fell. And all my comics and CDs poured out. We both jumped and he dashed to the floor." Oh I'm so sorry" he said. Repacking the box. "No its ok" I said helping him pack it up. After that nothing else really exciting happened but him hugging me good-bye by the door before I left. I picked up my box and I ran to the car, waving. "You had a good time?" my mom asked "a good time I think more of a wonderful time" I said putting on my seat belt and thinking of Ephram and I barely there kiss it was sweet but short. It's a secret of mine ill never tell. I said in my head silently. As I looked out the window dreaming.
