Yay! Thanks for the reviews, sorry I haven't been able to update for a very
long time because I was on vacation in Charleston. I changed all Ephrums
to Ephrams
:)..........................................................................
...................................................................The bell
rang and Ephram and Peyton both stood up slowly, it was time for lunch.
Peyton looked at Ephram and smiled and then began walking away from the
desk Ephram looked at her and thought she looked kind of sad. She had
walked a couple of steps before Ephram called her back.
"Do you want to eat lunch with a friend and me?" he asked leaning on his desk towards her with a small smile on his face. Her expression changed quickly and she gave him a huge smile.
"Sure." She was so glad she wouldn't have to eat lunch all by herself. And this Ephram seemed like a really cool guy. This move had been really hard on her and her biggest fear was to be all alone at school with no friends. She looked Ephrum in the eyes smiling, her smile faded slightly, he had Luke's eyes. Peyton missed Tree Hill, Luke, Jake......and Brooke. From the bottom of her heart she missed Brooke the most she had left her best friend at a bad point, Brooke still hadn't forgiven her and had promised Peyton that she never would. She sighed deeply thinking of Brooke, she hated herself so much for what she had done. Peyton wondered what was happening back home at Tree Hill. She then realized Ephram had begun to walk and was now looking back towards her waiting for her to come too. She ran towards him to catch up.
"So.....what do people like to do at Everwood?" she asked Ephrum. They were the exact the same height and when she talked to him in her excited friendly voice she was looking directly into his eyes. He smiled at her lifting his eyebrows slightly. He looked like he was laughing inside to himself. He turned to her.
"I'll be honest, there is very little to do here in Everwood." Peyton knew that Ephram was probably telling the truth, from what she had seen it seemed like the most boring town ever. So very different from Tree Hill, there was much to do back at home, like basketball games, basketball parties, college parties, dances, not to mention Karen's cafe which had become a very popular hang out.
"Ok" she said while they walked through the hall, "So what do you like to do?" Ephram looked at her she seemed so nice and he wondered who she was, her background, if she had any brothers or sisters, what her favorite food was. Then he realized that he would know her for a very long time and he would get to know her and find out all those little things about her....maybe. He turned back to her question in his mind. What did he do? What could he say? He hung with Madison. Lately he hadn't done much else, not that he regretted it he loved Madison and wanted to spend every minute with her.
"Hmmm......movies, I play piano, I go to concerts," he trailed off because there was nothing more to say and also because he had just spotted Bright walking towards him. Bright wore a curious expression looking at Ephram then Peyton and then Ephram again. Bright arrived in front of them still looking at Peyton smiling curiously. "Peyton meet my friend Bright. Bright this is Peyton." Bright stuck out his hand and smiled.
"Nice to meet you," he said still wearing his curious grin. Peyton reached out and shook his hand. She didn't usually get nervous around hot guys, but he was really hot. She thought of saying something but Ephram spoke for her.
"Peyton just joined my math class, she's from Tree Hill, it was Tree Hill, wasn't it?" he turned towards Peyton.
"Yea, that's right."
"So should we find a place to sit down and eat?" Bright asked still looking at Peyton. Bright had decided that he shouldn't be interested in girls because he needed to concentrate on schoolwork but this girl seemed very different. She was unusual a unique person she was beautiful but it was obvious there was more to her. The three walked outside towards a picnic bench. Peyton in the middle, Ephram on her right and Bright on her left. Bright turned towards her.
"Do you like Everwood so far?" Peyton turned towards Bright as he spoke and then smiled slightly.
"I'm getting used to it." She said and then more jokingly "It's a bit boring." Bright laughed.
"Yea you and Ephram are probably our only new people since....ever" he said laughing. Then Peyton turned to Ephram smiling.
"When did you move here?" she asked drawing Ephram's attention back to her. He had been thinking about Madison.
"A couple of years ago. After my mom died my dad moved my sister and I down here." He told her calmly. Peyton looked at him hard, his mom had died like hers. She wondered if she should tell Ephram that her mom had also died but that was not the type of thing she wanted to bring up. They reached the picnic table Ephram sitting on one side, Peyton on the other, and Bright on the right of Peyton. She smiled to herself, she could get used to this place.
