Brittany's POV
Four months have passed. Four months since my sisters and I narrowly escaped from Ian. Four months since Claire adopted us since Dave was having trouble juggling six chipmunks. However, its only been two months since a certain asshole tore out my heart. If it wasn't for my sisters being friends with his brothers, I wouldn't have to interact with him, let alone look at him.
Two months is a considerable amount of time, it didn't make sense that I was bitter like our break up just happened. I know we didn't end on good terms… at all, but still… I didn't just think about our break up, I also had dreams about it.
"BRITTANY!" A high-pitched voice hollered.
The sudden noise scared me enough to make me stumble off the bathroom counter.
"WHAT!?" I yelled in a severely irritated tone.
"Hurry up! We have to go to school in ten minutes, and I haven't even showered!" My youngest sister complained.
"Alright I'm coming!"
Damn, curse having one working bathroom. I looked up and sighed. Curse being short. I jumped on and climbed to the top of the toilet, and from there I jumped on the counter. I backed up to the corner farthest from the door, and sprinted and leaped on the doorknob. Once I was on it I turned the lock left, unlocking it, and turned the knob while pulling the door inwards.
Eleanor came rushing in, while I slowly walked out. I ran toward my room which I shared with my sisters, however, my path was soon blocked by two long legs.
"You really should stop hogging the only bathroom", Claire said disapprovingly.
"I know Jeanette and Eleanor need it to get ready too", I responded.
"Its not just that. Sometimes I need to pinch a loaf, and then someone is already using it."
"Ew", I laughed. "Too much information Claire."
"I know", she said smiling. "Now go get your stuff."
"Okay."
I grabbed my schedule for my sophomore year and my lovely pink purse which perfectly matched my hot pink skirt and white tank top. I then went to the front door where Jeanette was waiting. Her outfit was okay. She was wearing her hair in a tiny ponytail as usual, a black tank top with purple jewels around the collar area, and a plaid royal blue, white, and black skirt. I was glad my fashion sense was starting to rub off on her a little. I was tired of her getting bullied for what she wore in the past.
"Hey Brittany, where's Eleanor?" Jeanette asked.
"She's in the shower, I think."
"She should hurry, the guys are going to be here any minute", She said in a concerned voice.
"What? What do you mean the guys?! I thought we were walking by—"
"Hello Jeanette, and hello… creature", an obnoxious voice interrupted.
I'd fucking know that voice from anywhere.
"Hello", Simon and Theodore both said at the same time.
"Hey", I said smiling at the two bothers, but glaring at Alvin.
"Where is Eleanor?" Theodore curiously asked.
"She's in the shower, she should be out soon", Jeanette responded.
"Damn and I thought the bitch took centuries getting ready," Alvin said amused.
"Are you trying to get me to kick your ass Seville!?" I yelled.
"Guys its our first day of school. Lets at least try to be civilized", Simon suggested.
"Alright fine", I said. "We'll try but your brother couldn't act civilized to save his life."
"Hey guys", a soft voice came from behind.
The voice belonged to Eleanor. Her fur was soggy due to her not having time to blow dry it. She was wearing a white sundress with dark green stripes, and her hair was placed in her usual high pig-tails.
"Well it looks like we can start walking", Alvin said. "My millions of fans are waiting for me."
Simon rolled his eyes. I smiled to myself. It was nice knowing that I wasn't the only one who found his brother unbearable.
"Um Eleanor…", Theodore started shyly.
"Yes Theodore?" She responded with a smile.
"I just wanted to say… y-you look nice."
Eleanor blushed deeply, she obviously didn't think so since she was soaking wet. The blush was easy to see through her light fur.
"T-thank y-you Theodore", she stuttered looking down and hugging her shoulders.
I don't think she did that out of embarrassment though. I think she did that since she was cold.
"Are you cold?" Theodore asked. "I can let you borrow my sweater."
"Um Theo that's peachy sweet and all, but you'll be naked", Alvin stated. "And besides I don't feel like having to protect you from bullies."
"You hardly protect him at all", Simon said. "Besides, I'm sure he is wearing a shirt underneath like everyone els— wait a minute, you don't wear a shirt under your sweater?"
"No, but the difference is if I get hot, I mean more than usual", Alvin said winking at Jeanette, "I can take on some jerks."
"Here you go Eleanor", Theodore said handing his sweater to the soaked chipette.
"Thank you Theodore you're really sweet, and I love your t-shirt."
Theodore smiled and looked down at his feet.
"Well Jeanette if you ever get cold I can always lend you my sweater", Alvin said smirking.
"Oh um… thanks Alvin but—"
"And if that isn't enough I ain't a stranger to hugs."
Jeanette was as red as that douche bag's sweater, and was avoiding eye contact. She was obviously uncomfortable. OH HELL TO THE NO. I grabbed the nearest pebble and chucked it at Alvin's oversized head.
"WHAT THE HELL BRITTANY?!" He screamed.
"Stop sexually harassing my sister, or I'm going to get Claire's gun and I'm gonna shoot your ass."
Author's note: Lol I thought that was a good place to stop. Everyone loves a good old cliff hanger, naw I'm just kidding, nobody does. I'm going to upload the next chapter soon ;). Thanks for the sweet comments.
