A/N: I looked over the story before I began to write the next chapter. I figured, since so many people are enjoying this, I may as well try and fix it and make it as good as possibly can. In the original first chapter, I made it appear as though school was ending soon, but in order to not rush the story and work with everything, I pushed it back to the middle of the school year. That's the only change, and the only reason i needed to remake is so that you readers weren't confused when everything took place in April when I said it was June. Now that I'm done blabbering, go and get reading.
Alvin couldn't help but roll his eyes. It was usually difficult to pay any attention during class, but it was even harder when it was the last period of the day, in the middle of April. He was sitting in Ms. Ingram's class. Ms. Ingram always insisted on lecturing the class and she was the kind of teacher who could (and often would) drone on and on about who-knows-what. He fought the urge to doze off and decided to allow his eyes (and mind) to wander far from Ms. Ingram's droning monotone. To his right, he noticed Brittany fussing with her hair in her compact mirror.
That girl is so conceited, Alvin thought to himself while Brittany amused herself by putting her hair up in different styles and then slyly taking pictures with her camera phone. But I can't help but love her. She's got a lot of good qualities, even if she elects to hide them. His eyes floated across the room to his younger brother, Theodore. He noticed that every so often, Theodore's head would dip under his desk and come back up, and after awhile Alvin couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle to himself. He realized that Theodore, in his infinite hunger, was eating.
Leaving his brother to his meal, Alvin's eyes sleepily dragged to the front off the room and, tired though he was, he managed to roll his eyes. Only Simon and Jeanette would actually be taking notes at a time like this! he thought, annoyed before he nodded off.
"All right," Ms. Ingram said after glancing at the clock. "It's almost time to go." She couldn't finish her statement because her students had begun to cheer (all except Alvin, who had once again fallen asleep in her class. She didn't mind this time because he had been working unusually hard to pass her class). She waved her hands and, after some time, they all settled down. "When you return tomorrow, I'll be assigning partners for a special end-of-the-year project. It will be lasting until right before report cards." She hid her smile as the class groaned. "Have a good day!" she said while the students milled around, talking to friends and jostling out of the room.
Eleanor looked around, letting go of a breath she didn't register that she was holding. Must have been more anxious to leave than I thought, she reasoned. She glanced around the room and saw Brittany off talking to some cheerleaders, while Simon and Jeanette were packing up their books and talking, no doubt about the lecture. She wandered over to Theodore, who was swiping crumbs off of his desk and onto the floor. "You know, that's how schools get infested with critters and such," she told him.
He turned to her and grinned. "I couldn't help it, those cookies were delicious!"
She smiled back at him, beginning to blush. "It's nothing. I enjoyed cooking them, but I did kind of intend to share with our siblings."
"Oh," Theodore replied. "I'm sorry."
She shrugged. "I could always make more." She lightly poked him in the stomach kindly. "And I'll make you a batch all for yourself."
"Thanks Ellie!" he said. He looked behind her. "Ohh!" he moaned. "Not again!"
"What's wrong?" Ellie asked, before turning around. On the other side of the room, lightly snoring, was Alvin. The two chipmunks quickly approached his desk and tried to wake up their sleeping friend.
"Alvin," Theodore said softly, shaking his arm. "Alvin! Wake up!" Alvin didn't budge. "Wait. I've got an idea." Theodore reached into his bag and grabbed a brown sack. He pulled out a sandwich and held it under Alvin's nose in an attempt to wake him up.
"What are you doing?" Simon asked Theodore, Jeanette close at his heels.
Theodore waved the sandwich in Alvin's unconscious face. "Alvin's fallen asleep again. I figured a nice, tasty sandwich might wake him up."
Hearing Theodore's plan forced the two chipettes to giggle uncontrollably and even Simon cracked a smile. "Theodore, food only wakes you up."
"Oh," Theodore said, opening the wrapping and taking a bite out of the sandwich.
"I do have an idea for waking up Alvin," Simon said. "Alvin!" he called. "Dave found out that you're failing Science!"
In response, Alvin's hand dropped off of the desk and returned with a sheet of paper. Simon grabbed it and Alvin's unconscious face slipped into a grin.
"What is that?" Eleanor asked Simon, trying to peek over his shoulder.
Simon sighed. "It's Alvin's progress report. He's getting a 'B' in Science. I give up," Simon said. "I'm out of ideas."
Everyone began to leave, knowing that Alvin would wake up when he wanted to, when all of a sudden Eleanor called them back. "I know how to wake him up!" she exclaimed, pulling out her cell phone. "Hey, Britt!" she said after the phone rang. "Where are you? (…) I know, I know, but we kind of need your help. (…) We're in Ms. Ingram's class. (…) No. (…) I'm not owing you for this… (…) Whatever. (…) Okay, I'll see you here in five."
Ten minutes later, Brittany showed up. "Okay, what's the problem?" Brittany asked Eleanor.
Eleanor pointed at the sleeping Alvin. "Your boyfriend is holding us up," she answered. Brittany studied her boyfriend silently for a minute.
"I know what to do," Brittany said, going through her purse. She pulled out a bottle of perfume and sprayed it into the air. Suddenly, Alvin let out a groan and started to shift, but he drifted back into deep slumber. "Now," she said, applying her lipstick. "Sit him up, boys." Simon and Theodore complied, grabbing his arms and pulling him back until he was sitting upright.
Brittany winked at the chipmunks and set to her work. She perched on the edge of his desk and tugged Alvin's chip up. Her face closed the gap between them; her lips hovered over his. She kissed him softly, but to her chagrin, there was no reaction, no sign that she had even dented Alvin's sleep.
"Hmph!" Brittany retorted, appalled that Alvin didn't even stir. She managed to mask her annoyance and moved in again. She licked her lips seductively and placed another kiss on Alvin's lips. She didn't stop there; she licked his top lip, which elicited a sigh from Alvin. Smiling through the kiss, she softly bit his bottom lip.
All of a sudden, she was lying on her back on the desk, Alvin pinning her down. She looked into his eyes and saw that now he was wide awake. "You sure know how to wake a guy up," he whispered, nuzzling her neck.
Alvin kissed her again and again until Brittany squealed. "Alvin," she sighed softly, trying to regulate her tone in vain. "You know we're not alone."
He leaned back and Brittany sat up. "I know," he replied with a grin, placing his trademark cap on his head. "I figured I'd show Si and Theo how their girls need to be kissed."
"Not every girl likes to be slobbered over, Alvin," Simon countered. "Kissing is a science."
"No, it's an art," Alvin argued.
"Whatever," Simon said, grabbing his books. "I'm out. I need to go to the library. Tell Dave I'll be a little late."
"Anyways," Theodore said, punching Alvin lightly. "You know I don't have a girl. I'm going to stay single until the right time."
"At the rate you're going Theo, the 'right time' will never come. You aren't gonna get any younger," Alvin said as he put away his books and shouldered his backpack. "You need to get on the ball."
Theodore scowled at Alvin, but Eleanor touched his arm and he cooled off. "Whatever Alvin," Theodore said, playing off the anger that was building up in him. "Not every celebrity, or teenager for that matter, needs to be like you."
Alvin waved his hand at Theodore carelessly. "Okay guys," Jeanette said. "On that note, I'm gonna go to the library too. Tell Miss Miller I'll be in around 9:00 pm."
Alvin looked at Theodore and Eleanor. "You two are gonna need a ride, aren't you?" They both looked at each other and nodded at Alvin, who groaned. "All right, I'll take you to Miss Miller's house. I promised my boy Kyrian that I'd take him home so I'll be back to take you home Theo if you decide to stay with Eleanor."
Theodore looked at his oldest friend and she nodded. "I'll stay with them."
"Okay," Alvin replied, heading off with Brittany to find Kyrian and pull his car into the front of the school.
"Meanwhile, we can have a little fun and make something for dinner for Miss Miller and the girls," Theodore said to Eleanor with a smile.
"Aw, Theo," she said, placing a hand onto his cheek. "You're so thoughtful."
