I sighed slightly, as I felt the last of the warm water soaking into my auburn fur. I reached out and turned the water off and opened up the shower curtains. I placed my feet onto the ground and reached out for my light pink towel and wrapped it around me. I shivered, feeling a slight draft come in. I shook my head, ignoring it as I searched for my shirt and skirt that I had carefully picked out to wear at school today.
My shirt was a whitish pink shirt with a black tie and a hot pink jacket to go with it. My shirt was a darker hot pink, just reaching my knees. Just as I was about to remove the towel so I could get dressed, I turned around to grab my brush so I could pull my hair back into a bouncy ponytail as usual. That's when I caught sight on a frozen chipmunk in the door, his hazel eyes wide as he stared at me. His messy hair was rustled as he just stood there, gapping. I felt anger boil inside my veins. How dare he?! Why didn't he have respect for my privacy? I ground my teeth together in anger.
"Alvin Seville you moron," I hissed as I looked around for something to throw at him. "GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!" I screamed as I realized I was holding something tightly in my hand. I tossed it at him, aiming right at his head. My brush flew right toward him, and just as it was about to hit him he slammed the door shut. My brush hit it with a loud thud. I rolled my eyes; I was so going to kill him once I got dressed.
I was relived; finally I could be away from stupid Alvin and with my friends at school. I stepped into the hallway, taking in a deep calming breathe. I trudged toward my locker, feeling a pain in my stomach. I groaned, stumbling around. I sighed; it was just a stomach ache. I could get over it. I yawned, feeling a tad bit tired. Oh well, it's early on a school day, who wouldn't be tired?
"Hey Brittany," I heard a soft voice call out to me, "Oh gosh, Britt." I turned around to come face to face with my sisters, Jeanette and Eleanor. Jeanette stood before me, pushing her purple rimmed glasses back onto the bridge of her nose. Her hair was dark brown pulled into a small ponytail, her eyes sparkling in a purplish blue color.
"Oh hey Jean," I said with a smile, "What's up?"
"Um well…," Eleanor said looking at her fingers, "You have a stain in your skirt."
"What? But I just cleaned it last night! Did I sit in something?" I asked in alarm, struggling to see the damage done.
"Um… no," Jeanette said pursuing her lips. She leaned forward and said in a quiet whisper, "its blood. I think it's your 'time of the month.'" My eyes widened as I gasped.
"You can't be serious," I groaned as I rubbed my head. I sighed, sagging my shoulders. This day couldn't get any more annoying, could it? "Come on; help me to the nurse's office." I said with a sigh.
It was later that day; I had changed into a brand new skirt with no stains what so ever. I sighed, walking toward my locker. My stomach still hurt stupid cramps. I always get the worst ones in the family.
"Hey Britt," I heard one of my friends call. I turned to see Amanda and Eliza standing there with wide smiles. I smiled back, giving each a friendly wave.
"Hey Mandy, Liz," I said with a wide grin, "What's up?" That's when they turned to face each other, worried expressions on their faces.
"Um… well, actually… we have some bad news," Eliza said, brushing her red hair behind her ear nervously. "There's a rumor going around about you….," She whispered looking at her muddy white sneakers. That's when my eyes widened, and I slammed my locker door shut. I turned around, gazing at my two best friends.
"What rumors? What are you talking about?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as I tried to figure out what they were talking about. I didn't remember hearing anything about any rumors about me from my sisters, and weren't sisters supposed to tell each other, everything? Maybe they didn't hear about it.
"Yeah um… people are saying that you're not actually a chipmunk," Amanda said as her golden hair moved along with her graceful movements as she spoke. I sighed, rolling my eyes. How can I not be a chipmunk? I mean look at me, I have the fur and everything! "They say you're actually a skunk." That's when I really blew my top. I wouldn't have minded a squirrel, or a rabbit, but a skunk?! I hate skunks. They are the worst creatures ever.
"A SKUNK? THEY ARE SAYING I'M AN UGLY, SMELLY SKUNK? I HATE SKUNKS. WHO STARTED THIS RUMOR, I WILL DESTROY THEM!" I screamed as I kicked at my locker. Who would do such a thing? I mean, obviously they did it to bother me, right? Who knows I hate skunks- wait. "Alvin."
"Alvin? What doe- oh wait, you think Alvin started it? I mean come on, that's so stupid. Who would believe you're actually a skunk?" Amanda said easily, laughing at the question. Eliza snickered at the thought of anyone being so stupid.
"You'd be surprised, some people just aren't smart enough to realize," I said through clenched teeth, "Now if you excuse me, I have to talk to Alvin." I said as I turned and scampered off. School should be over soon, so I'm guessing he's at his stupid locker. He better watch it, because when I find him I'll pound him and his stupid smirk into the ground.
I turned around a sharp corner, rage powering each step. Sure, you might think I'm over reacting, but honestly when it's my time of the month, I'm what Jeanette calls a 'rage rhino'. Yeah, I get pretty emotional. I cry easy, I get mad easy, it's just the way I am. And you know what? I don't care.
That's when I saw him, laughing with one of his stupid guy friends. I let a fake smile pull at my lips, as I walked toward him with a sweet and innocent smile.
"Hey Alvin," I said too sweetly. Alvin turned around, frightened as he placed a hand on his heart. "Oh sorry, did I scare you?"
"Wha- no! Pfft, no. Of course not, I was just surprised to see you. Um… what do you want, exactly?" Alvin asked, looking at me cautiously. Huh, he must know why I'm here.
"How was school?"
"Oh yeah it was- wait, why do you want to know? You're being too nice, Britt," Alvin said, eyeing me intently. I thought he got a good enough look at me earlier. Gosh, I thought to myself, some boys are just so dumb. "What do you want Britt?"
"I can't just be nice to you because I'm your best friend?" I gasped, faking a hurt look. Alvin glared at me, clearly not amused. I rolled my eyes, huffing out a frustrated breathe. "Fine. I want an explanation," I said softly, "OF WHY YOU TOLD THE ENTIRE FREAKING SCHOOL THAT I WAS ACTUALLY A SKUNK! THAT WOULD PROBABLY EXPLAIN WHY WHEN I PASS EVERYONE THEY PLUG THEIR NOSE AND GIVE ME DISGUSTED LOOKS. HALF OF MY FRIENDS WON'T COME NEAR ME. YOU JERK! FIX THIS, NOW!" Alvin chuckled, holding his stomach so it wouldn't burst. I bit my lip to keep from lashing out at him. I glared daggers at him. If looks could kill, he'd be a dead man.
"C'mon, it was only a joke," Alvin said through laughs. I pulled on his shirt, so that I could feel his hot breath in my face, I glared at him coldly.
"Look pea brain, fix this or else… or else…," I paused, what could I do? I can't possibly scare him. You couldn't pop his stupid ego with a needle. I rolled my eyes at the thought. All this stress was probably making me wrinkle my forehead too.
"Or else what? Huh?" Alvin said with a chuckle.
"You know what, I'm done!" I said, waving my hands in the air. "I. Am. DONE! I can't stand you. I dislike- no wait, I hate you Alvin Seville." I bit my lip, as tears rushed to my eyes. Yup, I hit my breaking point. What can I say? I was a bit emotional today, it didn't take much to make me mad or cry. I darted away from him, feeling hurt. I looked over my shoulder once, seeing that Alvin's eyes were wide, and his mouth was gaping as he watched me leave. His eyes glassed over, as though he were about to cry.
