Chapter Ten
When the morning came Ebony woke up and looked over at Salene's bed, and she wasn't in bed. She shrugged and let out a big yawn and glanced at her wristwatch, "Ahhh, oh, it's only 9:30". Ebony composed herself and then looked at her watch again, "9:30! OH MY GOD, I'M LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!" Ebony, as fast as she could move, got dressed and ran down the hallway to find Salene and Pride on the couch watching cartoons. "SALENE! WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP FOR SCHOOL THIS MORNING!?" Salene and Pride looked at each other and started laughing, "Haha, Eb, it's a bank holiday....we don't have school, DUH!" Ebony looked around, dumbfounded. "Oh, I knew that". She forced a slight chuckle. Ebony walked over to the love seat and sat down, she pulled a pillow from in front of her and held it close to her chest. Pride and Salene were sitting on the couch, all lovey with one another, when the phone rang.
Salene got up and looked at the caller ID. "Ugh! It's Lex and I don't feel like talking to him SO early in the morning". Ebony giggled, and then got up to answer the phone, "Hello?" Lex on the other end took a moment to answer, "Hello? Salene?" Ebony giggled, "No, it's Ebony, Lex. I stayed the night. So what's up"? Lex laughed, "Oh, hey Eb, um I was calling to ask Salene what she was doing today, because Trudy, Chloe, Jack, Amber, Bray, Jay, Ved, Ryan, K.C., Alice, Ellie and me are going to the new amusement park, and I wanted to know if Salene, Pride and you wanted to join us"? Ebony, obviously elated to hearing Bray's name, took no time to answer him back, "Of course! We want to come with you guys today! What time do you want us to be there"? Lex took a moment. Ebony knew he was checking his clock because she could hear him counting, "40-45-It's 9:45 now so about 10:30 or 11". Ebony agreed to meet Lex and everyone in the front of the park. She hung up the phone and turned to Salene, "Get dressed! We are going out".
By 10:58, Pride, Salene, and Ebony packed into her car and drove to the park. The sign for the park wasn't even built yet, all that it said was "Roller B". Ebony looked at the sign, "Hmm? I wonder what it's going to be called"? Salene looked at the sign too, "I heard it was supposed to be "Roller Coaster World" or something like that". They all giggled as Ebony parked the car. They got out after Salene had to fight to get up from the back seat. "Man! This car sits so low Eb. How do you drive this damn thing"? Ebony gave her a look of disdain before they walked toward the entrance. "Oh god! Salene look at Lex trying to get some from yet another girl. Does he actually think he IS Casanova"? They both fell out laughing, "I think so, Eb". They straightened out their mouths before approaching the others. When Ebony walked up she saw a look of pure disgust on Alice's face. "Ugh! Lex you invited her!?" Ebony returned the look as she walked past Alice. Alice was Ellie's older and much bigger sister. It was obvious that she never liked Ebony since she heard of her and Bray having a relationship. Ebony ignored her and walked over to Bray. "Hey, babe". Bray smiled and kissed her gently on the cheek. "Hey, you. You ready to have some fun"? Ebony grabbed Bray's hand and whispered in his ear, "I thought we already did that"? He smiled and squeezed her hand, "You're right, we did. But I wanna have some more". They giggled and walked off with the rest of the group who had already begun to walk away.
They got to one of the tallest roller coasters and just stood there until Lex broke the silence, "So? You guys wanna take this one on or start small and work your way to the bigger ones"? Everyone looked at each other, "Uh, I think we should start small and move on to bigger ones", Ebony reiterated. Alice mumbled, "That's how you always work, you tramp". Ebony got furious, "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY YOU FAT COW?!" Alice looked around and then pointed to herself, "me?" Ebony walked over and got into her face, "YES I AM TALKING TO YOU! YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON OUT HERE WHO HAS SOMETHING TO SAY, SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY IT TO MY FACE?!" Alice looked scared as Ebony was balling her fists up. Alice was about to speak when Bray grabbed Ebony but her waist and pulled her back to him. "I think Ebony, Salene, Pride, Trudy, Amber, Chloe, Ved, and I will just go this way, and you guys can go the other way and we can all meet back here, OK"? Bray said. Lex shook his head, "Alright, we'll meet back here in an hour". Ebony turned and acted like she was going to walk away but then she turned around. "And Alice if you have anything more to say, then say it to your boyfriend......oh wait.....that's right you don't HAVE one. That's why your so jealous, because I have a man and you don't. You're so pathetic and I don't have time for you". Alice looked hurt by the shallow words Ebony spoke but she knew it was true. Ebony flipped Alice the finger and then turned and walked away with Bray and the others to go and have fun.
