Chapter Three
Ebony woke up the next morning, excited and ready for school. She was so psyched that Lex's party was Saturday night. She took a shower, got dressed, and gathered her books. She was just walking out of the door when her phone rang. She ran over to catch it before it woke her mom up. "Hello?" Ebony answered. No one responded on the other end so she hung up the phone. "Damn, I hate stupid people". She said, as she ran out of the house. She got to school on time and made it to 1st period. When she walked in she saw Salene, sitting with her boyfriend Pride. And next to them was Lex talking to Trudy, Amber, Chloe, Ellie and May. Ebony went over and took her seat next to Lex. She did find him somewhat attractive. He had long black hair, with gorgeous blue-gray eyes, and New Zealand accent, but Ebony swore it wouldn't go any further than friendship. Ebony pulled out her mirror to check her make-up before class started. She rolled her eyes as soon as Lex started to talk about rock music.
She was applying more lip stick when she saw Bray in the corner of her mirror. He came into her class looking for someone, but she kept her back turned so she wouldn't stare at him. But that didn't stop her from gawking at him from the mirror. Bray looked around the room until he saw Lex. "Hey Lex", Lex turned around, "have you seen Jay? He has one of my text books in his locker." Lex, shaking his head, looked at Bray, "No, mate. I don't see him until the end of the day, and then we got detention today too." Bray, looking happy, "Perfect! I have detention today also. I'll see you guys then." Lex nodded and him and Bray shook hands. Then Bray left after the bell rang, and Lex turned to Ebony. "Well I guess you saw your man right?" Ebony, punching Lex in the arm "Shut up, you".
School was kinda slow after that, and all through the day, all Ebony could think of was Bray. By 3:30 she went into the gym, and she saw Lex talking to Bray and some tall blonde-haired guy. "That must be Jay". Ebony said to herself. Lex turned around laughing, as he spotted Ebony. "Oi! Eb, come sit with us over here". Bray surprised at seeing her, began to speak. "Hey Ebony. I didn't know you went here. How have you been? Have you thought about what we talked about before"? Ebony smiled, "I have been good thanks, and yes I have thought about it. I'm available tomorrow, if you are"? Bray smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am available tomorrow, noon alright with you"? Ebony agreed. Detention finally ended at 4:10 and Lex, and Jay had already drove off to their houses. Before Ebony drove off, Bray stopped her. "Hey, I heard you were going to Lex's party." Ebony, content, answered back, "Yeah, I'll be there." Bray kissed her hand, "I can't wait to see you there and tomorrow when we meet up". Ebony smiled and drove off, excited.
When she got home at 6:38, she hopped into bed and finished her homework. She finished it at 7:30 and had some time to spare before going to bed. She saw Bray's number on her night stand and decided to call him. She let the phone ring 5 times and no one answered. She hung up and got undressed to get into the shower. Then her phone rang. She dashed for it, and picked it up on the second ring. "Hello"? Ebony answered. "Hello, can I speak to Ebony"? A voice replied. "This is Ebony speaking, may I ask who's calling"? The voice laughed for a second, "It's Bray. I was just going through my notebook and I found your number and I thought I'd give you a call". Ebony, jumped up and down in happiness. "I just called you about three minutes ago and no one answered". "Oh, sorry. I just got back from my cousins house". Bray responded. Ebony, paused. "Well you caught me at a bad time, I am getting into the shower, um, so I gotta call you back, ok?" Bray agreed and let her get into the shower.
When she got out, she called him back and they talked all night long. By the end of the conversation, it was 5:45am. "Wow, I have to take a rest if I'm going to show you around today". Bray a little tired himself agreed. "I need to go to sleep too, so I'll see you at 12"? Ebony giggled, "Of course, you will". Bray, sighed on the phone, "Well, I guess we got to go to sleep. I'll see you later on today". They both said their goodbyes and hung up. Ebony was so happy that she had a hard time falling asleep. She finally fell asleep, still thinking about Bray.
