Charlene RETURNS
Alvin walked the hallways of school like as if he owned it. Brittany, Alvin's new girlfriend was waiting by his locker. He had asked her out the day before this very day, so he was in a very good mood.
"Hey Alvin." Brittany said.
"What's up, Brit."
"Oh you know…stuff."
"Stuff?"
"Yeah, just stuff."
"Have I ever told you that you reminded me of someone?"
"Yeah, you did. You never really told me about her though." Brittany turned around and Jeanette and Eleanor were standing right behind her. She stared at them and said, "Whatever it is, I'm busy."
"Brittany, you have to come see this." Jeanette said.
"See what?" Alvin asked adding himself in.
"The new girl." Eleanor said.
"Big deal there's a new girl. So what?" Brittany said. Before Jeanette could open her mouth Simon and Theodore ran up to Alvin.
"ALVIN, RUN!" Theodore shouted.
"What happened, Theodore?" Alvin said.
"She found you." Simon said trying to push Alvin away.
"Who found me?" Alvin asked freeing from Simon's push.
"Don't you remember?" Theodore asked.
"Remember who?"
"Her."
"Who's her? Be specific."
"Alvin, remember how there's a new girl?" Simon asked.
"Yeah, Jeanette just told me."
"The new girl is that one girl you escaped from."
"I don't remember escaping any girl that wanted to be by me."
"Maybe this should refresh your memory, long blond hair, looks like Brittany…..In a creepy sort of way, your first girlfriend?" Alvin froze and whispered,
"You mean Charlene has returned?" Simon nodded.
"Who's Charlene?" Eleanor asked.
"Charlene was my very first girlfriend." Alvin began. "She was the girl I referred Brittany to."
"Wait, if you're freaked out by her. Then you're freaked out by me?" Brittany asked.
"No I just referred you to her looks. You and Charlene could be twins." Alvin said blushing. Simon stared hard at Brittany and said,
"OH MY! THEY COULD BE TWINS!"
"So why are you hiding from her, Alvin?" Brittany asked. "If you were through then why couldn't you just move……." Brittany stopped and looked at Alvin.
"Yes Brittany, I think you understand that when Charlene and I broke up, she sort of couldn't accept it." Alvin said.
"Sort of," Simon began. "When you told her to move on she fell into your arms crying and saying she would do anything to have you."
"Yeah." Theodore added. "She even wanted Alvin to marry her." Everyone gasped.
"It's true." Alvin said. "You see, let me start from how we met. It was karaoke night at this school; in fact, I think it was a karaoke dance. Someone was chanting for me to sing, You're The One That I Want. I went up on stage and that's when I saw Charlene, she was my singing partner. When we sang that song we just……clicked."
"Question," Jeanette asked. "How many years ago was this?"
"Maybe about 2 years before we met you, Brittany, and Eleanor." Alvin replied. "Anyways, we started going out. We saw each other every night for about a week and it was all good until next week."
"What happened the next week?" Eleanor asked.
"Charlene had approached my locker and told me this relationship wasn't serious enough." Alvin said. "So every day for that whole week she never left my side except when I changed for gym class. I was not happy about me not having my personal space so I called her Friday night of that week. She then explained to me how she had to watch me so I wouldn't cheat. I just decided to let it go. The next week we performed a duet called Crocodile Rock for the Talent Show-"
"Did you win?" Brittany interrupted.
"Yeah, but sadly she took the trophy right out my hand." Alvin sighed. "So then the next week Charlene had begun to really take charge of me. She began leaving sticky notes in my locker with something to do. I didn't want to do them but…….." Alvin looked at his feet.
"Did Charlene threaten you?" Eleanor asked.
"She pinned me to my locker the first time I said no to her sticky notes. She said if I didn't do them I would be a dead man. It was only a matter of time before she would be making me do more terrible things, so I took her to dinner and I said we were through, but then as you already know she didn't except it. She slapped me and said you know you want to marry me. I was so scared I ran straight for Dave. Charlene has a mother and that's it so Dave called Charlene's mom."
"What happened then?" Jeanette asked.
"The next day they were gone. They moved." Alvin said. "I never saw her again and I'm glad I didn't."
"Alvin, I want to tell you that I would never do that to you." Brittany said. Jeanette and Eleanor grunted in a giggle because they knew that wasn't true."
"I love you, Brit." Alvin said. "I wouldn't want to be with anyone else." Alvin and Brittany puckered their lips and kissed and then after 2 seconds they were interrupted by a loud shout,
"HEY YOU! STOP KISSING MY BOYFRIEND!"
