"War, huh, yeah, What is it good for Absolutely nothing War, huh, yeah What is it good for Absolutely nothing Say it again, why'all" Alvin was enjoying listening to his headphones and he was hearing one of his favorite songs that is called "War" by Edwin starr. Alvin was in a good mood because it was his birthday and it was summer. His freshmen year of high school just ended and next year it would be his softmore year and he was happy that he wasn't going to summer school and happy that he has a great and gorgeous girlfriend. His girlfriend named Brittany Miller and him have been a couple for almost a year now. Alvin had bought a bracelet for her with the money that he has saved when he went on tours. Alvin was making his way to Miss millers home and he was going to ask Brittany if she wants to hang out. It was the perfect afternoon to relax and talk. Alvin was thinking of going to the movies with her but then he remembers that he used all of his money to buy the bracelet.
Finally Alvin arrived at Miss Millers house and he puts his skateboard on the porch's swing. He then takes off his headphones and puts them in his pocket. Alvin was about to knock on the door but then, he hears a male voice coming from inside the house. Alvin knew that Brittany's family were not home on Friday afternoons. Jeanette was always at the library with Simon, Eleanor was always at the Seville home hanging out with Theodore, and Miss Miller always came home around night time from work on Fridays. "The heck? Maybe it's just the Tv" Alvin thought. Somewhere in his head, he knew who that voice belongs to but he hoped that it wasn't who he thinks it is. Alvin grabs the door knob and turns it. He tip toes to Brittany's room and as he got closer, he heard Brittany talking to someone else. Alvin started to get a funny feeling in his chest but, he hopes that he's just being paranoid. He kept saying in his mind over and over "Please be the tv" "please be the tv" but when he made to Brittany's room, the voices were louder.
Alvin notices that the door was somewhat open, so he peeks inside. "Hmm, you like that don't you?" "Mmmmm" "damn I'll take that as a yes and now that you know what it feels like to have a real guy in your arms, you'll give me what I want" Alvin's heart began to bleed. He felt like someone was poking it with a knife. His vision was getting blurry and his lunges became hard as crystals. Alvin hoped that this was a dream, a horrible dream. He didn't want to believe what he was seeing was real. No, this can't be. Inside Brittany's room, was Brittany and her back was against the wall. She was practically naked but she was only wearing her pink panties. The rest of her was visible. On the floor was her bathrobe. Standing in front of Brittany with their lips connected to hers, and their hands on her hips, was Shawn Lester. A guy in Alvin's school that was a wannabe. He was a guy who was jealous of Alvin. Shawn wanted Brittany and he has always tried to make Alvin break up with her. Shawn had even threatened to hurt Alvin's brothers if Alvin didn't break up with Brittany. However Alvin didn't listen to him and instead got in a fight with him. Alvin was suspended for a week and he was grounded for a month. Alvin knew that Shawn never loved Brittany. Alvin knew that all Shawn wanted was to get in her pants.
Alvin's eyes were getting watery and he opens the door with all his strength. The door hits the wall so hard that the door knob made a big hole on the wall. Brittany and Shawn were startled. The two see a heartbroken Alvin with tears in his eyes. Brittany panics and pushes shawn and says "Alvin, baby it's not what you think, I was getting-" Brittany approached him but she stopped talking when Alvin suddenly slapped her across the face. Her cheek was painfully burning and she caressed it. It was the first time that Alvin had hit her and it was the first time that she had seen him crying. Alvin glances at Shawn and says "You happy now? My girl easily accepted you in her arms and you know what, you can have her" Brittany panics even more and tries to hug and not let Alvin go but he grabs her arms and holds her still. "Britt, it's over. I'm breaking up with you and don't worry. I won't interrupt again. Resume what you and Shawn were doing" Alvin lets go of her and runs out of the house.
"ALVIN WAIT" shouted Brittany as she looked for her shoes. She puts on her bathrobe and was about to go after him but, Shawn who was by the door way, stops her. "Ah where do you think you're going? We're not done so why don't you take off that bathrobe and-" Shawn shuts up when Brittany's hand makes contact with his cheek. He then feels her kicking him in the groin. Shawn was on the floor moaning in pain. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE PERVERT" yelled Brittany as she kicked him on the chest. Shawn had to slither his way to the door to the outside because he was in to much pain to get on his feet. Once he was outside, he watched Brittany running towards the Seville home. Shawn had a smirk on his face and says "I promise you Brittany that sooner or later you'll be mine. I'll be the one who takes your virginity and you can forget about Alvin because, I bet he doesn't want to see your face anymore" he then digs in his pockets and takes out a photo. It was a photo of Brittany wearing a pink bikini and this was last week. Dave had a invited Miss Miller and the chipettes to come to the beach with him and the boys. Shawn stoled the picture which was in Brittany's room.
Meanwhile with Brittany...
She arrived at the Seville home. She didn't bother knocking since, she was family to. She heads to Alvin's room and notices that the door was open. "Alvin please listen to me it wasn't what..." Brittany stopped speaking when she sees that he wasn't in his room. All of his belongings were there. Brittany spots a photo frame of Alvin and she approaches it. She grabs it and touches it with her fingers. Her tears were landing on the glass. She kisses the photo frame and hugs it. "Alvin where are you? please come back. I need to explain to you. It wasn't what you think you saw"
Meanwhile with Alvin...
He was in a place where Dave would never let him go to. A place where Alvin's guy friends go to. This place was a cocktail bar and Alvin was there sitting on a stool thinking about life. He was still suffering. His heart was destroyed. His girlfriend Brittany, or should I say now ex girlfriend, was cheating on him. He caught her red handed and she had the nerve to say it wasn't what he thinks. Alvin sighs and his eyes were red. Alvin knew he wasn't allowed to but, he wanted this to help forget about Brittany. He asks for Vodka and he shows a fake ID that showed he was old enough to drink. He received the drink and he drank like there was no tomorrow. As he enjoyed his drink, there was a girl not to far from him watching Alvin. She was stunned that a boy this handsome who she had never seen in the bar before, was drinking a lot. This girl had brown eyes, long black hair, and she was short. She was well known in the bar and a lot of guys flirt with her but she ignores them.
This girl was wearing glasses, an orange long sleeve V neck shirt and skinny Jeans. She was a year younger than Alvin but was going to the same grade level as him. This girl kept watching Alvin drinking and drinking in disappointment. She shakes her head and approaches him. She just couldn't let this boy drink so much. She knew it wasn't her business but, she wanted to at least advice him to not drink so much. She takes a seat next to him and says "Hey, um... you sure like do drink a lot" Alvin heard a female voice next to him. He puts down his drink and looks at the girl. "Not really. I'm just dealing with some problems and I guess this will help me forget about them" replied Alvin before taking a zip of his drink. He looks at the girl one more time.
"I gotta admit, this girl is pretty and sorta hot although she looks like a nerd. Interesting what's a girl like her doing here? I thought bars are places where only guys hang out" thought Alvin. He then looks at something that the girl has in her hands. It was a binder. "So, what's a girl like you doing here?" asked Alvin before asking for another drink. The girl shyly pushes her glasses back up her nose and says "Well I come here everyday during the week. I do my homework here and some people here are nice. A lot of guys here are gentlemen but some are creeps who hit on me. Anyway I come here to do my homework because... well my mom and dad fight a lot and my brothers do to. I just want to get away from all the fighting, the drama so I come here" Alvin was surprised and he felt bad for this girl. She seemed nice and intelligent but her family isn't. Alvin was going to order another drink but, the girl gives him a pleading look. She didn't want him to drink more and get drunk. Alvin didn't know why but, he obeys her. He doesn't get another drink and says "Um, I'm Alvin Seville by the way" he shakes her hand and she replies "I'm Dagmar. Darcy Dagmar and I'm happy to meet you Alvin" they shake hands. She was also happy that he didn't order another drink.
The two then began to talk about life and problems that they deal with. Alvin learned that she has two brothers and that she's the youngest. He was also told that she likes to read and going to school. At first Alvin assumed she was like Jeanette but then, when Darcy told him she plays video games, plays sports, and likes to watch scary movies, it shocked him. He assumed that she only likes nerd stuff like Simon and Simon's girlfriend Jeanette.
