They walked for a little while and then passed a vending machine.
Madison: I'm thirsty...want anything?
Ephram: Sure
Madison walked up to the vending machine and Ephram walked over to a near-by bench and sat down. He looked around and saw Amy walking towards him.
Amy: Ephram hey...
Ephram: Hey...
Amy: We still haven't talked...
Ephram: Yeah...I've been kinda busy...with Madison and all
Amy: Yeah...how is she? Is she out of the hospital yet?
Ephram: Yeah actually-
Madison: They were out of coke, so I got you a Dr. Pepper...Amy...hey (sitting down next to Ephram)
Amy: Hey...so you're out of the hospital...that's great
Madison: Yeah (handing Ephram his drink)
Amy: (feeling awkward) well...I better head home...still have tons of homework to do, see you tomorrow Ephram
Ephram: See ya (trying to open his soda)
Madison: Sweetie, need help?
Ephram handed her his bottle.
Madison: (twisting off the top) when do you get that off anyway?
Ephram: (banging his cast against the arm of the bench) next week...
Madison: (handing him his soda) here...you know I still haven't signed it...in high school, whenever someone got a cast, we would use it as like a popularity meter, the more signatures you got, the more popular you were...pretty lame now that I think about it
Ephram held up his cast, he had 2 signatures, one from Bright, "Dude, make up some macho story about how you got this and use it to get the ladies!" And one from Delia, "you should have gotten the blue cast like I said, this one is boring."
Ephram: Guess I would score pretty low on the "popularity meter"
Madison: (smiled) not on mine (she kissed him)
Ephram: So when are you going back to school?
Madison: In a week...I have piles of make-up work to do though
Ephram: Sucks to be you
Madison: Thanks for the support (sarcastically)
Ephram: No problem
Soon it was Wednesday, Ephram was sitting alone at a table cause Bright was home sick. He saw Amy walking towards him, he was really dreading the talk. What did she have to say to him anyway?
Amy: (sitting down) hey
Ephram: Hey
Amy: How's it going?
Ephram: ok...
Amy: Do you think we're getting our tests back today? Cause I totally failed...
Ephram: I think she said tomorrow...
Amy: Oh...so how's Madison doing?
Ephram: She's good, really good
Amy: That's good
Ephram: Yeah
Amy: (sighed) can we just stop with the small talk?
Ephram: I kinda like small talk
Amy: Wanna take a walk?
Ephram: Lunch is almost over...
Amy: Well what do you have after?
Ephram: English...
Amy: Can't you ditch? Just this once...I really want to talk, you know catch up?
Ephram: I have to keep my grades up...the only way I can keep seeing Madison without my dad tagging along
Amy: (smiled) oh...
Ephram: (figuring he might as well get it over with) after school?
Amy: (smiled) sure...I'll meet you by the flagpole
Ephram: Alright (the bell rang) well I gotta go...
Amy: see ya later
Ephram: Yeah
After school, Ephram slowly made his way to the flagpole, where Amy was waiting for him.
Amy: (smiled when she saw him, part of her thought he wouldn't show up) hey
Ephram: Hey
They started walking in a random direction.
Amy: So...do you wanna start?
Ephram: I really don't know where to start...
Amy: I'm sorry Ephram...I've been a shitty friend...I should have listened to you, to Bright...to everyone, you were right, Tommy was...well he wasn't who I thought he was, I guess he just clouded my judgment...I don't know, but anyways, that's over now...I'm trying to get things to be the way they were, put my life back together...
Ephram didn't know what to say to this, he was kind of in shock, so he just nodded and let her continue.
Amy: I know it's gonna be hard to get everyone's trust back...but I'm trying, I just need you to know that...
Ephram: So what now?
Amy: Well I don't expect everything to just go back to normal in a day...I don't expect you to forgive me by tomorrow, I just hope that it won't take as long as it did for me to realize how stupid I was...
Ephram: I was never really mad at you...
Amy: You weren't?!
Ephram: I just didn't want anyone's pity...I didn't want you to talk to me just cause you felt sorry for me...that's kind of insulting
Amy: I know...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to be, I was just trying to be there for you like you were there for me last year...
Ephram: Yeah...
Amy: So are we good?
Ephram: Yeah...we're good
Amy: good
She gave him a hug.
Amy: Well I have to go, I have therapy in like 10 minutes...
Ephram: have fun (sarcastically)
Amy: (walking away) You know it
Madison: I'm thirsty...want anything?
Ephram: Sure
Madison walked up to the vending machine and Ephram walked over to a near-by bench and sat down. He looked around and saw Amy walking towards him.
