The three ate breakfast together before Ephram had to leave to get ready for class in a couple hours.
Madison walked him outside, all the while, playfully tugging on Ephram's shirt from behind. He was laughing as the got outside. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him to her to kiss him goodbye. She pressed her body to his, kissing him passionately. When they broke away, Ephram asked, as he put his forehead to hers, "we don't have any classes together this semester, do we?"
Madison shook her head, "no, all I have is the 'internship' that I have to do before I graduate this semester. Its bizarre, I'm already working for my company, but I have to do a quote unquote internship before I graduate. I get college credit for doing work I'm already doing. Funny how that works."
"But you'll be on campus right?" asked Ephram with a hint of hope in his voice.
She kissed him, "of course, I cant miss lunch with you now can I?"
Ephram said goodbye then headed back to campus to get ready for his classes.
When he got to his dorm, Bright was still sleeping, it was almost noon. He looked around for a pillow then snuck up on him and smacked him a few times with it, all the while saying, "wake up, Bright! It's practically noon! Don't you have class today?"
Bright stole the pillow and groggily said, "not 'til 1pm, thanks, now let me get some sleep."
"oooh, somebody had a long night," smirked Ephram
"looks like somebody had a 'good' night, huh" replied Bright, not turning over, his face still in the pillow, "so what classes do you have this semester?"
"This is rather awesome, I think. I looked at the credits I have, since I've taken summer classes and five to six classes each semester since freshman year, I'm a junior second semester!"
Bright shot up, "What?! That means you'll be a senior next term?!"
Ephram half smiled, trying to think how cool this all was. "oh, yeah, so I have music theory, music composition, music history, and one other class which is not music anything so we'll see how that goes."
"Oh, Big Shot's only taking four classes, what's wrong with you?" asked Bright jokingly as he got out of bed.
"I have class at 1pm, what is your class at that time?"
"Some Ethics class or some shit like that" he said as he picked out his clothes to wear.
"Are you kidding? Who's your professor?"
"Professor Uni…verse…or something" he replied absent mindedly.
"Do you mean Professor Versyune? She's African, I have her too."
Bright got excited, "that's awesome, bro! I think Sam has that class too!"
"Who? Oh, wait, never mind." replied Ephram. He almost forgot about Sam, their new roommate who was never around.
Bright and Ephram made their way to their Ethics class 10 minutes before it started. There were about 50 people in that class, it was a lecture hall rather than an actual classroom. They were very surprised to see Wendell there, sitting in the back row with his sunglasses on as he slouched in his seat.
Bright whispered, "I'm surprised he's even taking an ethics class."
"Maybe he'll learn something" chuckled Ephram, "that is if he doesn't sleep the whole time. Who knows, I just might sleep through it too."
"Or not even show up to class" replied a familiar voice behind them. It was Leah, "Hey boys, how are we this afternoon!" she said happily as she bounced passed them to the front of the room. The two walked behind her, "I didn't know you had this class!" replied Ephram delighted.
Leah turned around, "I'm the assistant teacher!" she beamed a happy smile
"Why would anybody want to be assistant teacher?!" asked Bright, mockingly repulsed.
"har har, Bright" she said still smiling, "it was either this or actually take the class and since this is just a pass/fail thing, then I'd rather do this than take the class."
Bright hit Ephram in the arm, "dude! Why didn't I think of that?!"
"You're in English major, Bright, that's why. Only certain majors can be assistant teachers in Ethics, and yours isn't one of them." replied Leah.
Bright looked puzzled, "is that true?!"
Ephram pulled him by the arm to find seats, "see you, Leah. Who cares Bright, lets sit here." He pulled him to the fourth row where no students started sitting yet.
An hour and a half later, the class ended and everybody scrambled for the door. Bright asked Leah, "see you at lunch or are you too cool for us now?" he smiled.
"I'll see you there, don't worry." she said as she picked up some folders.
~Authors Note~ I plan on ending it at 40 chapters (whew, that's a lot!!) so everything in the next few chapters will be sort of speedy in order to get what I want done. Who knows….Once I finish this one and new episodes from the show come back on, I may start a new fic…(YEA!) Got to keep us Ephison shippers happy, ya know!
