A/N- for once I'm giving an author's note. To apologize!!!! For those of
you reading out there, I've been totally flaking last couple of months,
therefore this time you get an extra long chapter. And a new one by the end
of the weekend, or you can have my head on a stick! Well, not on a stick,
but you know! :D
Disclaimer! I've been reading up and turns out I should probably give one, eh? So here it is!!! I do NOT own Everwood, not the characters! Furthermore, I do not own Ed. He is a character from my favorite book, called fearless by Francine Pascal. READ IT! Warning- it's 32 books at last count.
Read, enjoy, and REVIEW!!!!
Bright was walking with some of his friends in the lunchroom, joking around when he stopped dead in his tracks, making 3 of the guys near him to go toppling off the sides at the abruptness of his sudden halt. He was staring, but they couldn't see what trapped his attention so completely. 'What am I looking at?' he asked himself. It couldn't be his baby sister, and BROWN! No way! Right? And so, bright took the only measure of dealing with this new revelation he could think of- ran over to the table where they seemed to be kissing, and rip that little scum off his sister. "What the hell do you think you are doing Brown???? Have you blown a fuse or something?" Ephram, obviously still delirious from his, moment, with Amy, took a second to take in the current situation. "Bright!" "Yeah! What the hell were you doing tongue wrestling my sister???" "I.I."
At that moment, Amy came to and was instantly on the defensive. "Bright! Let him go!! What do you think you're doing???" she was yelling offside, hoping she wouldn't have to come between Ephram and her brother. "He was all over you! Why didn't you slap him yourself??" Amy became silent, as Bright understood that what was going on here was hardly involuntary. "You?? And HIM?" he said, utterly confused, and slightly grossed out. He couldn't help but think- one of the most popular girls in school, and the dark wiener from New York, Ham as she called him. Why would she like a guy she calls Ham?! At that thought, he dropped Ephram to the ground and suddenly realized they were not alone. In fact, the entire lunchroom was now looking at the scene, and a couple of teachers were making their way looking quite mad. "Mr. Abbott, Mr. Brown, the principal's office. NOW!" said one of them, which Bright recognized as Mr. Maloney, his science teacher. This was bad.
The teachers were now walking away, Bright was the first to follow, but Ephram lingered just long enough to give Amy an apologetic face, and then followed bright to the office, to get his punishment for kissing the girl he loved.
When Ephram reached the principal's office, Bright has already situated himself in one of the chairs. Ephram sat on the one next to him. "So. Are you. Are you like, banging my sister?" Bright seemed to ask out of the blue, "What? NO! I'm... I don't know." Ephram responded, appearing as a little boy at a candy store, without any money. "Wow, aren't you the poster boy for pathetic and stupid!" "Gee thanks Bright!" Ephram has pushed his defenses up, "it's all your fault we're here, you know!" he added angrily. "MY fault? If you weren't all over my sister I wouldn't have gone nuts!" "It's not your business, who I. am with, or not. You had no right!" "Still, guy! That's my sister! And you guys were making it in the middle of the caf! What did you expect?" "I don't. I can't. I just. I didn't mean for it to happen! We were just talking, and she. I don't even know what it meant. Thanks to you!"
Just as Bright was about to respond when the principal came out of his office, "well, well, well. What have we got here? You boys sure do like a good fight, don't you? Come on in.." Said he, while stepping aside and motioning to the door.
The two teenagers went inside, and once again were seated side by side. "So, anybody wants to tell me why my school was once again in havoc because of you two?" Bright immediately looked at Ephram. With one sentence, Ephram could have bright off the team, and in eternal detention. Bright has been going off a bit too much lately, and the principal has noticed. This was the last straw. He could see it in the man's face. Ephram didn't look at Bright. He just sank in his chair, and said nothing. "Unless one of you starts talking, you'll both spend the next 2 weeks in detention after school where you'll be able to settle your differences!" Both boys stayed silent. "Fine. I'll see you two in room 117 after school."
Ephram and Bright left the office. Ephram saw Amy standing behind the glass, but before he could approach her, Bright stopped him. "You didn't squeal. Why?" He asked. "Because I understand. Just don't do it again." Ephram replied. Surprised at the words coming out of his mouth.
Ephram continued walking until he was face to face with Amy. "Hey." He said, as if he's spent the last 15 minutes by the mirror practicing, instead of being given 2 weeks worth of detention. "Hi." She replied meekly. "Got 2 weeks detention with your brother." She didn't seem happy. "Ephram, I'm so sorry. I'll talk to Bright right now and set the record straight, that." "That what?" "That we are." "Are what? Because I'd like to know." "I don't know." "Thought so." At that moment, Ephram's heart broke, like it has a million times during their friendship. His face showed the pain, and anguish, and the tiredness. He didn't want to do this anymore. He couldn't. He feared that if his heart took another hit, it'd never heal; it's barely put together with some scotch tape right now. He was done, so he said so, "Amy, I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry." And walked away, hoping for a miracle, though he didn't know if he wanted to forget about Amy, or to have Amy want him. He actually didn't.
