*Speedy speedy speedy* (we are now at the last semester for Ephram before he graduates…sorry everybody about the speediness of the last chapters, but, like my other story, I no long have a desire to write it, so hopefully it doesn't get too dumb to read before the last chapter…ONE MORE!)
One night, Leah and Bright invited everybody to go out to the bars with them, but not just any old regular bar, a gay bar/club. Bright was meeting a friend there and wanted the rest of his friends to meet him. Ephram didn't think he could go since he was underage, but Bright told him, "Its for anybody over the age of 18, you can dance and stuff, but you cant drink. Plus, he's only 20 as well, so it works out." he smiled happily as they all got ready.
Madison actually thought it would be a really interesting type of thing and convinced Ephram to go with them. Amazingly enough, when they all got there, Ephram noticed a few people there who were not gay, and that gay bars seemed to be more hip than regular bars. The people are much friendlier, not everybody who hits on you wants a piece of action, they are just looking for people like them for friendship or a little more, but nothing else is expected.
While at the bar getting some drinks, Bright's friend Max appeared. Bright was happy to see him, "hey guys!" he shouted to his other friends, "Come meet Max, he's from California!"
Ephram smiled and shook Max's hand.
"Nice to meet'cha bruh!" cried Max as he hugged Ephram.
Ephram looked at him strangely then looked at Bright then back to Max, "did you just call me a ladies undergarment?"
Bright laughed at Ephram's expression, "Ephram, he's from California, they have a weird accent compared to us. He called you 'bro'…"
Ephram was glad to see his best friend happy even if he couldn't get over the fact that he never would have guessed that Bright was gay.
Throughout the night, everybody was dancing to the music, Madison and Ephram off in their own little world.
"Bright," Ephram said one day as the two were sitting around watching TV, "I graduate in a few days…"
"I know, dude! That's the shit, then you're off to New York City, right?" asked Bright as he ate some popcorn.
Ephram didn't say anything for a minute, then Bright looked at him and saw a concentrated look on his face, "What are you thinking about dog?"
"Madison…" was all Ephram could say.
"Lets think about this, Ephram…you two have been together now for, what, two years? Something like that, right?"
Ephram nodded, a smile forming on his face at the thought.
"Well…Has it occurred to you that maybe you should ask her to marry you?" Bright nodded, as if to say, 'duh', "that way you two can move to the big city together! Of course, though, you'd have the wedding before you leave so everybody could be there."
Before Ephram could say anything, Bright got up, "dude! We should go to that jewelry store on Main street and pick out engagement rings!"
Ephram was about to say something else before Bright left the room, but Bright replied, "Glad we had this talk, Ephram! We'll go tomorrow!"
Ephram couldn't help but chuckle and thought, 'that's exactly what I was going to say…'
