Chapter 3
" Surprise, Surprise"
"Colin what are you doing here?" Ephram exclaimed when he came in and saw Colin standing by the door. " Well, I was on my way over to Amy's to say hello" Colin explained. "Well, she told me when I bumped into her at your house that you weren't supposed to come home until tomorrow" Ephram said confused. "I told her that so I could surprise her" Colin replied. Ephram nodded and said that it was a cool idea. "I just wanted to tell you that Laynie is crazy about you, and that she had an awesome time tonight on the date. Oh! Don't talk about it I heard every aspect of it from Laynie" Colin explained enthusiastically. They both laughed and then said goodbye to each other. Then Colin left to go to Amy's house.
Ephram went back to his room smiling the whole way. "Ephram! Laynie's on the phone!" Ephram's dad shouted. Ephram nodded and quickly went to grab the phone. "Hello" Ephram said into the receiver. "Hey, what's up lover boy?" Laynie said sarcastically. "I was just talking to your brother, he came to see me!" Ephram replied. "I see your getting so popular we might have to break up" Laynie said sarcastically. "Na! I would stop hanging out with them if you were going to do that" Ephram explained knowing very well that she was joking. "Well, let me get to the point because I have to go, I was wondering if you would sit next to me in class tomorrow?" Laynie asked knowing the answer. "Sure I'd love to, but you have to convince Amy to sit in front of Colin instead of beside him" Ephram exclaimed. "Already taken care of" Laynie said pleased with herself. They said goodbye to each other and hung up.
The next day Ephram woke up to the smell of smoke. So Ephram got up and walked into the kitchen and saw his father trying to make pancakes. "Dad what in the hell are you doing?" Ephram shouted. " Cooking breakfast" Andy answered right before he burned himself. "Whatever, I'm leaving for school after I get dressed" Ephram told his father as he retreated to his room. Ephram quickly got dressed for school. Ephram left his room grabbing his backpack on the way out and headed for the front door.
Ephram went out the door and closed and locked the door behind him. He headed towards school walking while kicking around the rocks on the road. Ephram heard a familiar voice call out his name. So he turned around to see Bright's truck pull up beside him with Laynie's head hanging out of the window. "Hey Laynie" Ephram shouted. When Bright stopped the truck beside Ephram Laynie jumped out. She walked over to Ephram and put her arms around his neck. Ephram then put his arms around her waist and leaned in to kiss her. When they pulled away they both were smiling, Amy and Colin were staring at them. Laynie grabbed Ephram's hand and pulled him into the backseat of the truck next to her. Ephram and Laynie both knew they were being stared at but didn't pay attention to a single bit of it. They simply ignored it. "Ephram, we stopped by your house to pick you up but your dad told us you had already left" Laynie explained to Ephram. "I just had to get out of the house and I'm sorry if I made you think I was trying to avoid you or something" Ephram said apologetically. "What makes you say that?" Laynie asked curiously right before she kissed Ephram. "Well, in New York I once had a girlfriend that thought that, thought you are extremely different than her" Ephram answered after they stopped kissing. "Never crossed my mind" Laynie said as Bright pulled into the school parking lot.
After Bright parks, Laynie and Ephram split to go to their own lockers. They meet back up after the bell rings and they are in homeroom. Ephram sits next to Laynie while Amy takes a seat in front of Colin. Ephram and Laynie talk while the teacher is taking role, when the teacher calls Ephram's name and asked if he would care to share with the rest of the class. Ephram replied "Well me and Laynie were just say that you were an awesome teacher." Laynie chuckled a little but stopped so the teacher wouldn't catch her laughing. Ephram got bored and wrote a note to Laynie. He quickly passed it and she read it. The note said:
After school would you take a walk with me because I want to show you something? Love, Ephram
Laynie quickly wrote a reply saying: Sure Ephram I'd love to, meet me by the oak tree by the bike racks. I will see you at lunch. Love, Laynie
After reading the note Ephram smiled. When the bell rang Ephram and Laynie went to their next class. When it was lunchtime Ephram was sitting listening to Colin and Amy's friends chat about a bunch of pointless things waiting for Laynie to show up. 5 minutes after lunch started Laynie came walking over to Ephram. "Where have you been?" Ephram asked. "Well I was getting you this" Laynie said as she gave Ephram a reeces peanut butter cup. "Wow, thanks Laynie" Ephram said as he leaned over to kiss his girlfriend.
After school Laynie met Ephram at the spot they were to meet at. Ephram greeted her with a kiss before he grabbed her hand and told her to follow him. After a 15-minute walk they reached the section in the park where there was a picnic dinner set up. "Ephram did you set this up?" Laynie asked. "No, but I asked my friend Nina if she would" Ephram answered. After they finished the absolutely delicious meal (which Ephram had made a mental note to do something for Nina to make it up to her) Ephram took Laynie further into the forest.
After about 15 minutes they reached a ledge where there was a blanket laid out. "I fixed this for us so we could watch the sunset together" Ephram explained to Laynie. "How did you know I loved watching sunsets?" Laynie asked. "Well, I asked your brother, I kind of had to take his word for it and see how it worked out" Ephram said. "Wow, it's so romantic" Laynie exclaimed. They both laid down on the blanket Ephram had laid out the night before. They waited 30 minutes before the sun began to set. They watched it until the sky was completely black. Before they got up to leave Ephram said, "I love you Laynie Hart."
Well review please. In the next chapter will she say it back or will she just keep silent. You'll never know. I want at least 4 positive reviews before I post the next chapter. I know it is only their third date and it is to early to say I love you but I don't care it's my story and I can put anything I want in it. Please read and review. If this story sucks please tell me because all the reviews I get are practically all for my other story. If you haven't read it yet you might want to check it out. I think it is pretty good by all the reviews I'm getting so I think it's worth reading.
