(Ephram, feeling like a complete idiot, quickly gets out of the school and runs toward home)

'What else could happen today?' he muttered to himself,

"Ephram, Buddy!", he knew that voice all too well.

"Bright, what do you want? School find out they let you skip a couple grades, want you to go back to kindergarten?" Ephram sarcastically replied back.

"Hahaha, funny, really, I'm laughing, aren't you laughing?" He looked over to the guy now standing on the other side of Ephram,

"Yeah, so hard" Colin, seeming completely bored with everything, just like Ephram should be.

"Listen, I just have to g-..." Ephram tried to complete his sentence before he heard another voice, a not-so familiar one this time,

"Ephram, wait up, please!" said the voice, Ephram spinning around in complete shock.

"Angel?" he wasn't thinking one bit, his lips just guided the words.

"Who else? I don't think Amy would be runn-... Oh, hey... Colin" she had tried to say something right before she noticed the two others,

"....Bright" she said, obviously trying to tell Ephram with the tone of her voice that she wasn't too fond of Bright Abbott,

"Me neither, believe me" he muttered.

"You're still mad at me over that whole big in front-of-everyone-at-school breakup we h-..." Bright started, but Angel quickly stopped him and corrected,

"You had..."

"Right, the big 'scene' at school that was all my fault what, five years ago?" he finished then.

"Yeah, I'm a, oh what was it you called me? Oh yes, that's it a 'typical woman' so of course I'd still be mad!" she grabbed Ephram by the arm "Please Come!" and walked away quickly, but slow enough to hear Colin snickering at her.

"Um, guess you already know them too?" Ephram joked,

"Oh sure, first and last Everwood-born boy I'm dating, Bright of course, Colin is a jerk too, but not as bad as Bright... But I'm sure you've noticed!" Angel replied as sarcastically as she was asked.

After a few, was it blocks?, 'Yeah, blocks' Ephram decided in his head, Angel stopped and Ephram had a chance to ask her something.

"If Bright was the last boy you'd date who is actually from Everwood, how come you seem to um, well, you know" he asked,

"Like you? Want to Date you? Because I know you aren't like most of these stuck-up Everwoodians, if that is even a word" Angel laughed as she saw Ephram blushing,

"And I know you aren't 'Everwood-born'", "And how do I know that, do you really need an explanation?" she asked him as he opened his mouth slightly.

"Lived here all my life til I was 10 or um, 11 and Everwood isn't all that big you know! I know practically everyone, except Miss Nina's husband, he's never around here" she explained,

"Met him, don't like him, think he's a real you know" Ephram told her then looked at his watch,

"I've got to get ho-...",

"Can I go with you?" Angel stopped him and asked,

"Oh, please?" she added,

"My mom has gone out of town again today, and we are staying at a hotel that's maybe and hour out of town, but she seems to always bring me here everyday!"

Ephram nodded because he knew she was becoming angry as her eyes became watery,

"Sure, my dad won't care, I just have to get my sister from the neighbor's, and if I want food that actually tastes like food for dinner I've got to make it" he told her, laughing a bit.

"Alright then, let's go!" she replied, also laughing as she grabbed his hand and told him to hurry up and lead the way.

(Haha, Like it? I sure do! I think this is the best (and longest) one yet! Please post some reviews if you want to see anymore!!)
