The next morning Ephram Brown woke up to his alarm
ringing loudly. SLAM, Ephram smacked it so hard it flew off
his nightstand. Amazingly, it was still ringing. Ephram sat
up, puzzled as he realized it wasn't even plugged in anymore.
Then he bolted downstairs as he realized it was the phone
ringing.
"Hello?"
Ephram's chest heaved rapidly as he panted for breath.
"Hey Ephram, it's me, Amy."
Ephram's heart almost stopped, It was Amy, the same girl he had been having a dream about. In his dream they were on a date at the movies, wathing a mushy chick flick, which neither of them cared about as they were busy making out.
"Uh...Hi Amy, what's up?"
He poured a glass of water but spilled it all over the counter when he heard the girl of his dreams ask the one question he had been dying to ask her for a long time.
"Nothing much....Hey, I was wondering, are you free tonight? I thought we could go see a movie...if you want to."
Ephram didn't even have time to think before the reply popped out of his mouth.
"Absolutely, but....wait, what about Colin?"
He paused on the name he had learned to despise.
"We...had a fight....about, um, you, actually...."
Ephram tried to sound concerned, although he was actually intrigued that he was part of their reason for splitting.
"Really? That's...um... too bad... are you alright?"
He smiled, but felt guilty about being so happy about this.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but I want to talk to you, so let's meet at the park and talk for a while, until the movie starts....then we can walk to the theatre."
"Sounds great! So, I'll see you around seven?"
He smiled, and heard her voice brighten.
"Perfect! Bye, Ephram!"
"Bye Amy!"
He hung up the phone, barely able to supress a scream of happiness. He was going on a date with the one girl he had had his eyes on since he moved to dinky little Everwood, the one girl he had always cared for, Amy Abbott.
