[County High, Monday Morning]

EPHRAM POV

As I walked down the hall to my class, there she was. She wore low rider jeans with a red and blue rugby shirt. Her hair was loose at her shoulders, slightly curled. I have to say, she looked hot. Damn hot. I was so caught up in looking at her, I didn't notice the many football players coming my way. I walked into all of them, I'll bet. My books were everywhere. I heard a voice behind me.

"Hey. You want some help?" It was her.

"Thanks, that would be awesome." I said. She nodded and helped me pack up my pencil case. As she reached for a pen, her hair grazed my face. It smelled so sweet. I must have zoned out, because when I went to pick up something else, she was looking at me oddly.

"I'm sorry... It's just..." I stumbled. God this was embarassing.

"It's okay. I'll bet your hair smells good too." Amy smiled. I was sure she was mocking me.

"Sure." I said. Yeah, nice comeback.

"Seriously." She whispered, as she looked me straight in the eyes. Then she walked away. She just left. Amy always did that to me. Left me wanting more. I walked off, slightly confused, to my first class.

Before I knew it, it was lunch. I had gotten my food, which consisted of mystery meat and some Coke, and as usual, I couldn't find a table. Lovely. Just lovely. Then I heard her voice.

"Ephram! Over here!" She called. Amy was sitting at a table with Bright and Laynie. I walked over to them and sat next to her.

"Hey!" I said. But it wasn't my regular voice. I sounded... winded. But that's how Amy made me feel. Like I've just gotten the wind knocked out of me.

I recieved some mumbled 'hello's from Bright and Laynie, who were eyeing each other rather suspiciously. I made a mental note to ask Bright about that later.

"So how was your morning?" Amy asked me. Then she lightly touched my arm. Even after she had pulled her hand away, I could feel where her fingers had lightly traced. I swear, she's like a drug. I can't get enough.

"M-m-my morning? Oh, it was good. I mean, good for a school morning." I said. More like rambled. God I bet she thinks I'm crazy. Or in special ed.

"That's good. Mine was boring." Amy sighed.

"Well we have spanish next period." I said. I wasn't sure about her, but being in a class with Amy sure lifted my spirits.

"Yeah." Amy smiled. Her smile was so beautiful. Everything about her was beautiful. I smiled back at her, and the four of us at the table ate our lunches in a comfortable silence.
