Chapter Five

“Working hard?” Ephram asked sitting down across from Jamie.

Jamie looked up from her book.

“More like hardly working.”

Ephram scanned the nearly deserted diner.

“I see.”

“So what brings you to this neck of the woods?” she asked.

“My dad tried cooking.” He stated.

“And?” she prompted.

“Obviously you’ve never tasted my father’s idea of pot roast.” Ephram said.

Jamie laughed. “And it doesn’t sound like I want to.”

Ephram nodded. “Are you reading what I think you’re reading?”

Jamie flipped her book over and looked at the cover.

“Looks like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to me.”

“And how old are you?” he asked sarcastically.

“Says the boy wearing the cartoon character t-shirt.” She remarked.

“It’s amine.” He said.

“Whatever.” She replied with a smile.

He smiled back at her.

“Ephram! Let’s go.” Dr. Brown called out.

“I’ll see you at school tomorrow.” Ephram told her.

Jamie nodded. “Bright and early.”

Jamie watched Ephram walk out the door with his father and she returned her attention back to her book.

A few seconds later someone took a seat across from her.

“Look if you’re going to make fun of me again…oh hi Amy.” Jamie said.

“Hi Jamie. Was that Ephram Brown you were just talking to?” she asked.

“Yes.” Jamie replied not quite sure where this conversation was headed.

“He’s bad news you know.” Amy said.

“Bad news?” Jamie questioned.

“Exactly, during the whole Colin situation he had a huge crush on me. And even when I told him I had a boyfriend he still pursued me. Couldn’t take a hint.” Amy said.

Jamie sighed. She found this all very hard to believe.

“I think I can make my own decisions thank you.” Jamie replied.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Amy said getting up and heading out the door.

Jamie rolled her eyes.

“Hi I’m Amy Abbott and the whole world revolves around me…blah-blah-blah. Whatever I say must be taken as gospel...yak, yak, yak.”

“That is an eerily accurate imitation.” A voice said.
