Prologue: The Fight
"You know what Britt, you're just a jerk!" Alvin screamed on the top of his lungs, his face flushed. Even though he was fifteen, he was still treated like a baby!
"Me? The jerk, you must be outta of your mind. I am not a jerk, just because I won the stinking game and you didn't!" Brittany protested, giving him a glare. Alvin's blood boiled, steam seemed to rush from his ears.
"WHAT, this isn't about the game! This is about what you said afterwards. 'I'm so much better than you when it comes to this game Alvin, maybe I'm a better singer too.' Hmm, I wonder why you said that." Alvin hissed, folding his arms across his chest. He gave Brittany a death glare.
"I never said that!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT! This argument is stupid; can't we go back to getting along?" Jeanette asked sweetly, her violet eyes shimmering with hope. Simon stepped up next to her, nodding in agreement. Eleanor and Theodore smiled to show that they agreed, although they were busy watching Meerkat Manor on the TV.
"Tell Brittany that." Alvin growled back, his dark brown eyes shining with victory.
"No, tell Alvin that. He started it!" Brittany shot back, a sly smile on her face. Alvin's face flew, and his eyes went from wide in utter bewilderment, to pure anger. He shot her a glare in furry.
"Yeah Alvin, you kinda did start it. Why don't you just apologize so we can continue to play chess?" Simon cut in before Alvin could protest any more, shooting his brother a slight glass from behind his thick black rimmed glasses.
"And so we can keep watching Meerkat Manor in peace!" Eleanor and Theodore shouted together, both emerald eyes shining sweetly.
"Ugh, I didn't start it! If you are all going to go against me maybe I just shouldn't talk to you anymore!" Alvin shouted back, his face boiling so red that Brittany from across the room could feel the temperature rise. Why do I always end up fighting the one I love, Brittany? Alvin thought wearily.
"Fine, be that way! You'll say a word to us by tomorrow, and even if you didn't, why should I care?" Brittany screamed, although her eyes betrayed her. Nearly invisible, you could just see small tears gathering in the corner of her eyes. Everyone here, except Alvin, could see they loved each other. Why did they have to be so blind and miss it?
With that, Alvin walked away. The next day, he didn't talk to them. It would be five long, dreary years later before Alvin would finally speak to one of them again. And the news he would find that day would change his life like nothing ever did before….
