Chapter Eight
Ebony and Siva walked downstairs to eat some breakfast. Java was in the kitchen fixing omelets and sausage. When Ebony walked through the door Java looked at her as if suspecting Ebony to tell her that she told her parents. Ebony shook her head and gave Java a look that said it all. Java cleared her throat. Ebony and Siva sat down to the table as their parents came down the stairs. Her parents looked kind of annoyed but she paid them no mind.
After breakfast Ebony went into her room to finish homework that will be due on Monday. When she pulled out her math book, a piece of paper fell out of it. She picked it up and opened it up. She sat down on the bed and read the contents:
Dear Ebony,
I have thought about you a lot since we met in the café. I can't seem to shake the feelings that I have for you. That is why I am writing this letter, to inform you about how I feel. You are a beautiful person, inside and out. I feel as though you put up this hard image but that is just a cover for the sweet and loving you that is trapped inside. Don't trap it any longer. I want to see that side of you, like when you showed me around town. You were sweet and nothing like I have ever seen you before. I have thought about us and I want to pursue our relationship. I would like for us to become an item and I believe you do too. If you don't agree or you don't feel the same then I understand. BUT if you feel the same way I do please let me know. I know this letter sounds rather stupid but it was written with the purest intentions. I like you very much and I believe we need to see if this relationship would work. If I do not hear from you, then I get the picture. Don't leave me hanging, I want to know how you feel as well.
With Love,
Bray
When Ebony was done reading the letter she folded it up and put it in her pocket. She couldn't even speak. She put on some clothes and got her jacket. She was heading out of the door when low and behold Java, the sister from hell, blocked the door. "And just where do you think you are going"? Ebony tried to push her out of the way, "MOVE! I am not joking. Move!" Java folded her arms over her chest. Looking persistent, Ebony shoved Java on her butt. "I told you I was not joking and if you want to tell mum and dad......go ahead. I don't care anymore. I am not going to listen to you anymore. And don't think you can push me around anymore because, frankly, I HAVE HAD IT"! Ebony walked to her car with Java still sitting on the porch. As Ebony drove away, Java followed her with a cold stare. "Your wrong little sister. The agony that I can inflict has just begun". Java whispered to herself as she pushed up from the floor. Then dusting herself off she said softly "Just begun" with a malevolent look. Java walked back into the house and disappeared into her room.
Ebony drove to Bray's job at the skating ring. When she got there she waited in her car for a moment trying to gather her thoughts from what she did to Java and what she was going to say or do to Bray. She let out a deep sigh, "Okay...here I go", Ebony got out of her car and walked inside. Bray was behind the counter as she walked in. Everyone stared at her because she had this positive energy following her and everyone she passed was in awe. Bray looked up and saw her walking towards him. When Ebony got to the counter she pulled the note from her pocket. Bray looked confused until he realized what the piece of paper was. Ebony fumbled with it before she spoke. "We need to talk, not here, let's go somewhere a little more private". Bray came out from behind the counter and walked up to her. They clasped hands and walked out to her car. They got in and Ebony broke the silence, "So....I read your letter...and here's what I think".
