WEDNESDAY EVENING:
"You what?" Jeanette asked her sister Brittany. Brittany, Jeanette, Eleanor, and the Chipmunks were at the Chipettes' tree house, talking about the school day.
"I told you. I signed you up for the talent show." Brittany calmly said.
"Yeah, Jean. I mean, what's the big idea? Don't you want to be in the talent show?" Alvin asked her as he sat on the couch next to Brittany.
"No! Of course not!" Jeanette yelled, causing Theodore to drop the bowl of chips, and Simon to jump, making his homework papers scatter everywhere. "Sorry, Simon." She kneeled down next to him to help pick up the papers.
"It's alright. Why wouldn't you want to be in the talent show, Jeanette?" Simon asked her. Jeanette blushed, seeing that all eyes were on her.
"Well, because of this." She shyly said.
"What?" Eleanor asked, confused. Everyone else had a confused face on, and were still looking at her.
"I get stage fright. Please…don't look at me anymore." She turned around, and headed upstairs. Eleanor and Theodore went into the kitchen for some snacks, Alvin and Brittany just shrugged and continued to watch Batmunk, and Simon sighed and followed her upstairs.
UPSTAIRS:
Jeanette lay on her stomach, on her bed, crying. She heard a knock on her bedroom door. "Come in." She quietly said.
In came Simon, who was playing with his hands. Jeanette sat up in her bed, trying to quickly dry up her tears. Simon sat on her bed next to her, and sighed.
"You know, I think you'll be great in the talent show." He quietly said. Jeanette looked up at him.
"You…do?"
"Yeah. I mean, you're a great singer. And even if you don't sing, you're great with choreography."
"Thanks. But, I know I'm not pretty like Brittany, or cute and adorable like Ellie, so…what's the point? I'm not talented." She hung her head down, and looked at the floor. She then grabbed her purple pillow, and hugged it to her chest. A paper fell out of the pillowcase, and Simon grabbed it.
He read it over. "Jeanette…did you write this?" He handed her the paper, and she fiercely grabbed it.
"Y-yeah. Well, I mean no. It's originally by Uncle Kracker, not me." She shyly said.
"Is it…is it dedicated to someone special?" Simon wasn't looking at her. Instead, he was looking at the floor.
"Well…he is pretty special to me." She looked at the paper in her hands.
"Whom?" He curiously asked her. He tried not to be too curious, but deep inside of him, he wanted her to say his name. Well, because he loved her. He was just too shy to say those three little words to her. After all, she is Jeanette.
"You." She quietly said. She didn't dare look at him in the eyes. She couldn't. She didn't want to see her best friend's expression. If he didn't like her back, then their friendship would be too…awkward. But, she loved him, and she was telling him the truth. She would never, ever lie to Simon.
"M-me?" Simon was looking at her with wide eyes. Either she values our friendship, or she loves me back. But, I highly doubt it. Jeanette…loving me? Yeah, right…well, maybe…just maybe…she does…
"Yes, you. Look at you, Simon. I mean, your corny sense of humor always makes me laugh. It's just that when I'm around you…" She drifted off, and looked at him. She read the words from the paper.
You're better than the best…
I'm lucky just to linger in your life…
Cooler than the flip side of my pillow…that's right.
Completely unaware…
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Let me know that it's ok, yeah it's ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade…
Jeanette smiled at Simon to make sure he was listening to her. He gave her a smile back, and nodded his head, waiting for her to sing.
You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile
Simon smiled at her, and sang the next verse. He sat next to her so that they were shoulder to shoulder.
Even when you're gone
Some how you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that…
Simon wrapped his arm around Jeanette, and she leaned her head on his shoulder.
You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile
Jeanette sang the next verse, and looked up at Simon. He looked down at her, and they both were…smiling.
Don't know how I lived without you
Cause every time I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
They both sang the next verse in perfect harmony, both smiling and blushing.
You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile (you make me smile)
Ohh you make me smile (you make me smile)
Ohh you make me smile…
They leaned in and touched noses. They failed to notice their siblings standing in the doorway. They all clapped and cheered, which made the two jump in surprise.
"Uh, h-hey guys." Simon nervously said as he moved away from Jeanette a little. He took his arm back from Jeanette and was, of course, blushing.
"How long have you been standing there?" Jeanette worriedly asked. She hoped that they wouldn't say long enough or the whole time.
"We came in here about a few seconds ago." Eleanor explained.
"Yeah. We wanted to play a game." Theodore said.
"But, we can see you guys found a way to…uh…pass time." Brittany said, waving her hand as she said that.
"Yeah, what were guys doing in here? Playing spin the bottle?" Alvin asked.
"No, we were-" Simon was interrupted by his big brother.
"No need to explain, little bro. I know what you were doing."
"We were talking about-" Jeanette was interrupted by Brittany.
"How much you love each other? We get it, we get it."
"No, we-"
"Were making out?"
"No…not that. We-" Simon was yet again interrupted.
"Were French kissing?" Alvin asked.
"Would you just let them explain what really happened?" Eleanor impatiently asked Brittany and Alvin. She then blushed when everyone looked at her.
"Thanks, Ellie." Jeanette thanked her little sister. God, she loved her. She was the fight breaker upper, and she would always make her sisters breakfast. She was the sister Jeanette always wanted and loved. Of course, she loved Brittany, but…Eleanor was just a bit…nicer than Brittany. Brittany was…um…is…the spoiled little brat…who gets what she wants all the time. But, Jeanette loved her anyway.
"Well, ahem. You see…" Simon and Jeanette explained the recent events that happened earlier. Theodore sat on Eleanor's beanbag, Eleanor sat on her bed, criss-cross applesauce, and Alvin and Brittany were both on Brittany's bed, lying on their stomachs.
"Oh…so you guys were just talking about the talent show?" Alvin asked.
"And you sang that song?" Eleanor asked, adding onto Alvin's question.
"And then you just touched noses? Nothing more?" Theodore finished.
"Yup. That's it." Simon and Jeanette both said.
"Hey, Jean?" Brittany asked her sister.
"Yeah?"
"Do you still wanna do the talent show?"
"Absolutely not!" Jeanette yelled, walking towards the door.
"Why not?" Eleanor asked.
"I told you! I get stage fright! I am not! Underline not! NOT performing in the talent show!" She slammed the door and made her way to the Chipmunks' house.
"What's her problem?" Alvin randomly asked. Everyone just sighed.
Wow! That was a long chapter! Anyways…leave nice reviews, ok?
