A month had gone by, one week of classes left to go before summer break officially started. Ephram decided to spend some time with an old friend; Amy. He missed spending time with her and now that she moved back with her parents, things seemed to be on the up and up for her. Her grades were up and she seemed happier then she had a month before, or even the whole time she was in school. Ephram told Madison that he would have plans with Amy that day and she was fine with it since she'd be with Delia the whole day.
After classes, Ephram and Amy went to the diner for a late lunch and they caught up on how their lives have been. They didn't talk about their relationships, they figured out a while ago that that part of their lives was just a bit awkward to talk about. While eating, Amy decided to catch up on some homework as Ephram joked with her, "you just wrote a whole page in less than 2 minutes! What are you on?!"
She held up her coffee, "just coffee, with three sugars. Plus, this paper is due in three days. Granted, its only a three page paper, but I'm trying to get back on top of things."
"That's awesome, Amy…I'm proud of you." he nodded.
After their late lunch they decided to go rollerblading in the park. More like, Amy blading and Ephram walking on the grass with his rollerblades on. Amy laughed, "Ephram, we're not even on a hill, there is no way you'll get out of control!"
"Dude!" He said stopping and looking at her, "I can barely ice skate, much less any other type of skating. Give me a car and I can strip it of value in less than 15 minutes; that's New York style fun right there!"
Amy grabbed his hands and pulled him out of the grass, "I wont let go!"
"If you do, and I fall, then I'm not skating anymore."
"Ephram," she said enthusiastically, "you have barely tried! Now take my hand and we'll skate side by side" They tried what she said, but she couldn't help but laugh as all he did was tried to walk.
"Glide, Ephram, just glide as if you were on ice."
"I've tried that before, remember. Didn't work out so well."
"Fine. Drastic times call for drastic measures." and she got in front of him, skating backwards, holding both his hands, "now just glide. I'm in front so I'll be doing most of the work"
He looked at her in disbelief, "how can you skate backwards? You're going to kill both of us!"
"Shut up and just trust me!" This trick worked and after a while, Ephram was skating better than he had when he first started. They skated around the park for a couple more hours, laughing and joking and having a great time before they decided to head home.
Amy said, "I'm at a crossroads right now."
"What do you mean?" Ephram asked concerned.
Amy grinned, "my hair, I don't know if I should cut it or keep it long."
Ephram laughed, "Since I have only known you to have long to longer hair, I say, don't cut it. Well, maybe a little bit, but not much, I mean, its your hair and I'm sure you'd look good with short hair, not that I'm saying you look bad with long hair--"
"Ephram, you're rambling" she laughed
He shut up, "yes, sorry. Just a habit that the Brown men have."
"We should hang out more often, I love spending time with you, just doing anything."
He smiled, "me too. How about we set aside a day every week or two weeks to spend time together?"
"Like old times. I'd like that" replied Amy contently.
The two embraced warmly before going their separate ways for the night.
(A/N: sorry it took me so long to update, but I'm thinking this will be the last chapter for this fic here. I will just work on my other two "College Life" and "Living the Life", plus, I'm out of ideas for this one anyway and I don't think I'd be able to make it tie into "college life". But in College Life, I did mention that Ephram and Amy had become great friends, and this is where it starts…then of course, Madison moves away, Delia gets sick, Ephram and Madison break up and all that other stuff in between. Hope nobody's too disappointed, but I no longer have a desire to go on further with this fic!)
