The next morning, Ephram gets out of his car and starts walking towards those huge metal doors, knowing that it's going to be a long and agonizing day. He soon sees Bright walking towards him, he slightly tenses up, expecting the usual punch in the shoulder. But something unusual happens, the usual punch doesn't happen. Bright just walks up along side Ephram as they walk through the doors together. Both looking upon the ground until they get into the hall. Laynie soon spots them and walks up to them.
Laynie: "Hey guys, Where's Amy?"
Bright: "She, ahh, she's sick so she stayed home today."
Laynie: "Oh, ok. Guess I'll have to talk to her later."
Ephram: (Moving towards Laynie, whispering.) "Meet me at the doors of the cafeteria."
Laynie: (Giving him a weird look,) "Umm, ok. What's this all about?"
Ephram: "Just meet me before lunch and I'll tell you then."
Laynie: "Ok, Well I gotta get to class. See you guys later!"
Bright: "Well I gotta get to gym, before I'm late."
Ephram: "Later."
Ephram walks to his math class and sees a new girl in the class and she's sitting in Amy's seat. He doesn't want to look like an :) but that is Amy's seat. So he walks up to her."
Ephram: "Excuse me."
Molly: (Looking up at Ephram,) "Yeah?"
Ephram: "Your sitting in someone's else's seat."
Molly: "Oh, I didn't know that we had -assigned seats."
Ephram: "Well we don't, but I know the person that usually site's there and she would probably ask you if you could move."
Molly: "Ok, I'm sorry." (And gets up and moves a couple of seats back.)
Ephram sits in his usual seat. The bell rings and the teacher starts her lesson for the day. He sits there dazed. Not able to concentrate on his work, but on Amy. He wants so bad to see her, but knows that he has to wait till after school. Ephram raises his hand.
Teacher: "Yes, Ephram?"
Ephram: "Can I go to the bathroom?"
Teacher: "Yes."
Ephram gets up and leaves and the teacher goes back to her lesson. Instead of going to the bathroom, he heads straight to the pay phone. He takes a quarter and a dime out of his pocket. He puts the change in and dials the number to the hospital.
Ephram: "Hello, can I get room 318?"
The nurse transfers the call. Amy answers the phone after about 3 rings.
Amy: "Hello?" (Thinking it's kind of early for someone to be calling her.)
Ephram: "Hey, It's me."
Amy: "Ephram, what are you calling so early for?"
Ephram: "I just wanted to say hi and to see how you where feeling."
Amy: "I'm fine," (she says in a kind of sarcastic voice, knowing that Ephram is just worried about her.) "I get to come home tomorrow."
Ephram: "I know. I just wanted to make sure you where ok."
Amy: "I'm fine, and you don't have to worry."
Ephram: "Ok, well I wanted to say hi, so I better get to math."
Amy: "Ok, I'll see you this afternoon."
Ephram: "Ok. I love you, Amy."
Amy: "I love you too."
Ephram: "Bye."
Amy: "Bye."
Ephram hangs up the phone and walks to class, and again he can't stop thinking of Amy, but he starts to do his work so that he can get it done. After Ephram's math class he goes to his History class. It's so boring in there, Mr. Jenson is so boring, Ephram thought that he was gonna fall asleep. When the Lunch bell rings Ephram's the first one out the door. He's off to find Bright and Laynie. He and Bright meet up near the cafeteria doors. Laynie soon catches up with them.
Laynie: "Hey. So Ephram, what is so important that it had to wait till lunch for me to know?"
Ephram: "Ok, well there's something important you need to know."
Laynie: "And that would be?"
Ephram: "You know that accident that everyone's been talking about?"
Laynie: "Yeah, what about it?"
Ephram: (Walks forward and whispers into Laynie's ear,) "That was Amy." (He says as quietly as possible.)
Laynie: "WHAT!" (She exclaims.)
Bright: "Laynie, keep it down, she doesn't want everyone to know."
Laynie: "Your not serious are you?"
Ephram: "Yes, we are."
Laynie: "Is she ok?"
Ephram: "Yeah, she's fine, she goes home tomorrow."
Bright: (To Laynie,) "Are you ok?"
Laynie: "Are you guys going to go see her?"
Bright: "I have to go pick up my mom first but after that yeah."
Ephram: "I'm going straight from school."
Laynie: "Do either of you mind if I catch a ride?"
Ephram and Bright look at each other and at the same time,
Ephram and Bright: "No."
Laynie: "Ephram, if it's ok, can I ride with you?"
Ephram: "Ahh, yeah. I don't mind."
Laynie: "Oh, thank you!"
Ephram: "Yeah, no prob."
They all go and get lunch and eat. After school Bright goes and gets his mom and Ephram and Laynie head to Denver. The whole way there, neither of them talk, just listen to the radio. After about an hours drive they get to the hospital and Laynie instantly jumps out of the car. They walk upstairs to the third floor and Ephram tells Laynie what room Amy's in so that they can have a few minutes together, to talk.
Laynie: "Hey guys, Where's Amy?"
Bright: "She, ahh, she's sick so she stayed home today."
Laynie: "Oh, ok. Guess I'll have to talk to her later."
Ephram: (Moving towards Laynie, whispering.) "Meet me at the doors of the cafeteria."
