Spring Time Blues
Ch.1
"The Bad News"
Alvin woke up on the first morning of Spring Break when he heard his cell phone ring with Brittany's ringtone. He answers.
"Hey Britt why do you sound so sad? What do you mean you won't be hanging out with us for Spring Break? Where will you be going?"
She sighs into the phone.
"Ms. Miller will be out of town for a few weeks and we are staying with a friend of hers. So for almost a month I will be going to another school. You three will have fun without us."
Alvin sighed.
"Okay Britt see you when you get back. I will let Simon and Theodore know. Bye Britt."
He exited his room and headed downstairs to the kitchen with his head down. Simon seen him and asked.
"Alvin what is wrong with you? Who was that you were talking on the cell with?"
Alvin sat down as he responded.
"Brittany, the girls will not be around for Spring Break. Ms. Miller is out of town with her new boyfriend that they hooked her up with this past month. Looks like I can enjoy myself."
Simon looked at his brother.
"Maybe you can ask out that girl that has been trying to get with you. The one Brittany keeps chasing away from you when you talk to her."
Alvin smiled a little.
"Okay I think I will take your advice and ask her out today. She will be relieved that Brittany isn't with me for once. We are only best friends after all."
Simon looked and nodded.
"Well we have to meet up with our friends at the park. Why don't you call her and tell her that you want her to meet you at the park. Do you still have her number?"
He went through his contacts and then he dialed Vanessa's number. She answered.
"Hey Alvin what's up? Why are you calling me? Won't your girlfriend Brittany have a fit if she sees you calling another girl?"
He responded.
"Vanessa, she is not my girlfriend. We are best friends and have been since Elementary School. We are both in the same group. Why don't you meet me at the park and we can talk a little more to get to know each other."
Vanessa responded with a smile across her face.
"Okay Alvin see you in a little bit. I'll be on the swings waiting for you to arrive."
He hung up his cell and entered his room to get ready to go by the park and hang out with their friends. He was relieved that they had no tours until the summer time when school gets out. He also knew that Vanessa was a huge Chipmunk fan so in love with him. He was just getting over a break up from his ex that Brittany caught cheating on him after Cheerleading practice. She was ridiculed so bad that she transferred out of their school. Another plan that Brittany put together. He was thankful that she told him about his ex-cheating on him.
In the meantime the girls arrived at Ms. Miller's friend's house and saw her writing in a book. They were curious and asked.
"What is that?"
She smiled and told them.
"This is a diary, in this book you write your most secret things and never let anyone else read it. They are sacred, also girls never try to peek in each other's you will break the diary rule."
She gave each of them a diary in their favorite colors. Brittany had the pink one, Jeanette got a purple one, and Eleanor got a green one. They each started to write in their diaries as each girl went on with their normal routine. As she wrote in her diary while the nail technician was doing her nails. She wondered what Alvin was doing at this time. She was not happy that for a while she wouldn't be able to hang out with Alvin like she normally did. She sighed regretting putting Ms. Miller with Harold. She began to write in her diary.
'Not enjoying Spring break at all, and missing Alvin so much her best friend.'
Back at home Alvin grabbed his cap and walked with his brothers to the park where his friends and Vanessa were waiting for him. Mike looked at him.
"Yo Alvin are you going to ask Vanessa out on a date now that you don't have Brittany in your hair? I think you two would make a great couple. Even if she is a Chipmunk Fan. She seems pretty sweet and down to earth."
Alvin sighed.
"Yea so was my ex and she ended up cheating on me and getting caught by Brittany. Maybe being a rock star I should stay single. Mike rock stars in a relationship have nothing but drama and you know I hate drama. "
Jake also interrupted.
"Not all of them go through drama there are many couples that remain strong. Why don't you try and get to know her as a person not just a fan. Come on Alvin try it and see."
Alvin sighed.
"Okay fine one date that is all. She is not my girlfriend just a girl I am taking out on a date. Do I make myself clear?"
Jake and Mike nodded.
"Okay just a girl you're taking out on a date."
Alvin walked over by Vanessa and she smiled at him.
"Hey Alvin I am glad you asked me to meet you here. I thought that Brittany was with you. You two are always together in school and around here. That is why I have kept my distance from you. What made you call me anyway Alvin?"
He smiled at her.
"I was wondering if you would like to go out on a date with me tonight. I have actually liked you for quite some time, but do not want to deal with what I did with my ex-girlfriend. So we can go on a couple of dates and see if we become more okay?"
She smiled at him.
"That sounds great Alvin. We should get to know each other more than just fan and favorite artist."
Alvin smiled at her.
"I am glad you agree with me. I'll pick you up at seven tonight. We are going out to dinner and a movie. I am too young and don't drive yet so my dad will drop us off and pick us up tonight."
She watched as Alvin, his brothers, and their friends played basketball and just stared. Thinking to herself how it would be if Alvin was her man. She finally had a chance to get with Alvin after so many years of trying but being chased away by Brittany. She wondered how many dates she was away from being Alvin's girl.
Back at Betty's Brittany continued to write in her diary about how much she wished she was back home hanging out with Alvin and his brothers. Jeanette became worried and asked.
"Britt are you okay? You seem really upset. Do you miss Alvin that much that you're so depressed?"
Brittany closed her diary and locked it.
"Don't be ridiculous Jeanette, when we go back he will probably be with Vanessa since he likes her so much. I am fine, it's just a different place where we are from. We are just best friends after all. Let's go out and enjoy ourselves and meet people since we will be here a while. Go tell Eleanor to get dressed we are going out to the mall today. I am not staying inside while we are here. Maybe we will meet a group of friends to hang out with you never know. "
Jeanette smiled.
"You could be right yea it beats staying inside all day and being bored."
Eleanor ran down the stairs and followed her sisters as they walked to the local mall. When they got there Brittany's best friend Janet approached her.
"Hey Brittany come meet my friends I hang out while I am at my grandparents' house. I just got off the phone with Mike. He told me you three were here and was wondering how you three are doing. Besides tonight Alvin is taking that fan girl Vanessa on a date. I still think you and Alvin would make such a cute couple. You two are so much alike."
Brittany raised her voice.
"If you think me and that chaufenistic jerk would make a great couple you are nuts. He is so conceited that it's pathetic. Besides he wouldn't know how to remain loyal if we ever get together and I rather not go through it thank you. Let Vanessa deal with his rock star ways I will pass, we are best friends and nothing else. "
