Madison woke up next to Ephram. She looked at her watch, it read 10:00pm. They had been asleep for three hours. Ephram was still lying there sound asleep. She kissed him on the top of his head and slowly got up making sure she wouldn't disturb him. He looked so peaceful lying there. Madison quickly wrote him a note telling him that she loved him and the time she left.

Madison went downstairs, Andy was reading in his armchair. "What are you still doing here?" Andy asked, worried that they were engaged in some sexual behavior. "Don't worry I just fell asleep on Ephram's bed." said Madison reassuringly. "I hope that was all that happened." replied Andy, grinning.

Soon after Madison left Ephram woke up. He noticed Madison was gone and found her note.

Ephram, Its ten o clock and I needed to leave. I didn't want to disturb you. You look so sweet asleep. Here is a reminder of me to keep with you. Make sure you talk to Amy tomorrow. She needs to know that you're off limits. See you after school. Love You, Madison Ephram stared at the picture of Madison that she gave him. She looked beautiful.

Ephram stared at the clock, Madison must have just left. The note had reminded him that he had to talk to Amy. Though he really liked kissing her again, it was apparent that he liked Madison and was going to keep it that way for now. He took off his shirt and settled back into his bed, placing the picture of Madison on his nightstand.

Ephram had just got to school. He dreaded everyday that he had to be in that building. He was at his locker putting his books into it. Suddenly he heard a voice calling his name, then an arm appeared leaning on his shoulder. It was Amy. She looked like she needed some sleep. She was wearing a black t-shirt and corduroys. Ephram couldn't take his eyes off her. He had to snap out of it. He was unavailable.

"Hello Ephram," said Amy. "Hi," he replied. "Are you as unhappy to be here as I am?" asked Amy. "Sure," Ephram replied. "I need to talk to you," said Ephram, hoping to drop the news carefully. "Okay, how about we skip class and go somewhere and talk," Amy asked. "I would love too but I don't think that is such a good idea." replied Ephram, "I really don't need to get in trouble." "Well, my dad and I aren't talking so I really don't care." said Amy, "I've been skipping classes here and there all week, life sucks, what's new."

"How about we talk at lunch," Ephram suggested "Okay, I meet you outside at lunch at your usual spot," said Amy. "See ya," replied Ephram as he headed off to his class.

As Ephram was sitting in his English class he found the picture of Madison that he had put in his binder. He remembered how great it is to kiss her. He just sat thru the rest of class smiling at the picture. "Hey Brown, who is that?" it was Wendell, Ephram's friend. This is Madison, my girlfriend, replied Ephram. "I didn't know you had a girlfriend," replied Wendell, she is hot. "Does she have a sister?" asked Wendell "Yes, a evil step sister just for you," replied Ephram jokingly. "When do I get to meet this Madison?" replied Wendell. "Never!" said Ephram.

"Mr. Brown, would you please be quiet," the teacher commanded. Ephram nodded and tucked the picture back into his binder.

Soon it was lunch time and time to talk to Amy. Ephram sat in his usual bench outside enjoying his Butterfinger bar and Sprite. "Nice lunch, Ephram," interrupted Amy. "Oh, hi Amy," replied Ephram. "What are you eating?" asked Ephram. "Nothing, I'm really not that hungry." replied Amy, "So what did you want to talk about?"

"Us," replied Ephram. This would be the hardest thing to say to Amy yet. He really despised the fact that he had to tell her off. "You know how we were kissing yesterday?" asked Ephram. Yea, it was great, I forgot how good of a kisser you are," replied Amy, sorry I ran off, I was confused. "Why do you want to kiss again or something?" asked Amy. "The kissing thing can't happen again," said Ephram, it just can't. "Why not, I thought you liked me?" replied Amy worried. I do, I mean not in that way, replied Ephram. Amy just starred. "I like someone else," explained Ephram, "remember Madison?" "The 20 year old babysitter?" replied Amy. "Yes, we are together," said Ephram. "Oh, well don't let me get in the way!" replied Amy. Tears were forming in Amy's eyes. She really thought maybe Ephram could help her. Maybe being with Ephram would keep her from being depressed. "It's just I've been depressed so long" choked Amy. Now tears were streaming down her cheeks. It's okay Amy, I'll still be your friend, I'll always be there whenever you need me, just call, anytime" replied Ephram. "Thanks," replied Amy. Ephram gave Amy a hug, a much needed hug. "Will you be okay?" he asked. "Yes, I'm fine," Amy said lying. Amy got up and walked off leaving Ephram on the bench. Great, Ephram thought to himself, she hates me, with that the bell rang and it was time to go to class.
