Halloween Fest

Ch 2

"Again Alvin"

As they walked to school Alvin walked with Brittany and told her about what they saw the night before. She sighed and looked at him.

"Alvin didn't you learn from the last time? Ok I understand you were right about Mr. Talbot, but a Vampire. Come on now you're a teenager start acting like one and get over your monster obsession. The last thing we need is for you to get grounded before the big dance."

Simon looked and stared.

"Yea Alvin listen to Brittany for once in your life. Maybe whatever we saw last night was some loser dressed up like a vampire. Did you ever think of that?"

Alvin clenched his fist.

"How would you like my fist to go in your mouth McBorington? Well how would you like it? I know it was a real vampire and I will prove it just like I proved Mr. Talbot was a werewolf. He turned sweet Theodore into that awful werewolf."

Theodore stared.

"Oh please don't remind me. That was awful and I hated every minute of it! I was angry at the world and almost lost Eleanor's friendship because of it. How do we know it was a real vampire? I mean he didn't try and bite any of us? Maybe Simon is right."

Alvin shook his head.

"Go on and take Simon's side if you want. I'm telling you that was a real live vampire. I saw the sharp fangs and they scared me. Maybe he didn't want to chase us because he didn't really see us. Did you ever think of that Theo?"

Brittany sighed.

"Alvin stop picking on your baby brother. Oh you can be so immature I swear! Just Stop thinking about you obsession with monsters and be a normal teen."

He looked and sighed.

"Fine I'll try to, but Britt I'm telling you there is a real vampire running around town looking for fresh blood. Actually we took Dragon Alley and wasn't supposed to. I'm going to investigate with or without anyone's help."

She sighed and stared.

"I'll help you investigate if you promise not to mention it until we find out what you saw last night. Anyway I have something to talk to you about alone without everyone around us driving the two of us crazy! Ok Alvin no vampire talk until we find out the truth. Come on the bell rang we're going to be late for class and end up in Talbot's office again. "

He smiled and stared.

"Fine no vampire talk until we find out the truth I promise Brittany. To be honest with you I don't want to be in Talbot's office again. Let's get to class then. See you guys at lunch bye now."

Alvin and Brittany headed to their first class and he realized one of his best friends was wearing shades in doors and that his skin was really pale. He shook his head and took his seat next to Brittany. They copied the notes from the board and he continued to stare at Charles wondering what was wrong with him. Brittany tapped him.

"Alvin pay attention the teacher is asking you to answer the question."

He looked.

"Oh I'm sorry; yes Ms. Mills. What was the question again?"

The teacher sighed and responded.

"Halloween is actually what?"

He sighed and responded.

"Oh other known as All Hallow's Eve. Sorry bout that."

She smiled and stared.

"Well done Seville now stop daydreaming and pay attention during my lecture understood?"

He nodded and sat and listened to the teacher's lecture writing down notes he felt would help him with the test coming up. The bell rang and Alvin walked with Brittany to their lockers. Charles looked.

"Hey Alvin and Brittany what's up? So have you two asked anyone to the dance yet? Why are you looking at me like that bro?"

Alvin stared and responded.

"Umm no reason at all. Yea I'm taking Brittany to the dance since she's my best friend. Why are you looking at her neck like that? Hello Charles are you listening to me?"

He looked.

"I am not looking at her neck. What are you watching those monster movies again after midnight and thinking everyone around you is a monster of some sort. Do you ever learn your lesson; you nearly got suspended last year. Alvin you seriously need to grow up bro rock star or not!"

Alvin's nose wrinkled.

"I am not even 13 yet. Another thing I am mature and under a lot of stress because of my career and school! Besides last night I saw something that freaked me out. So stop lecturing me I get enough from my father and my stupid brother Simon. I don't need it from a friend of mine! Brittany come on we have to get to 2nd hour the bell is about to ring and Talbot is staring dead at us! Britt move your bow up a little he's staring at your neck."

She saw it and put her bow up and ran after Alvin as they walked to 2nd hour. Then she stared.

"Ok now that freaked me out. Why was he looking at me like that? Alvin he really scared me."

Alvin looked.

"I know he did but he's not in our class calm down already. He's acting weird and starting to freak me out big time! Now what was it that you wanted to talk about earlier?"

She sighed as they walked to class.

"Well it's like this I have a crush on this boy and he doesn't even realize I exist. I try to show him the signs I'm into him and he just doesn't seem to care. All he does is ignore me when I try to talk to him and go talk to other girls that are constantly flirting with him because of his popularity. What should I do Alvin? You're like a match maker and have helped a few of your friends land the girls they like. You helped Simon land Gillian in Elementary school. You helped Theodore land Juliet and you landed that girl Nancy you liked in Elementary school."

Alvin sighed.

"Maybe I helped my brothers out but now they are both single just like me. All I can tell you is try to talk to him when he's alone. Besides that I can't really help you. Since I can't seem to find a girlfriend of my own."

She sighed as they entered their class and took her seat behind him doodling on her notebook.

'I like you Alvin but you don't seem to know I'm alive. I should just give up on you. You'll never get with me so who am I kidding?You have better taste in girls than being with me. My life sucks right now. Why can't you see the signs I'm into you? Why do you have to be so stubborn and blind? Oh it's hopeless!'

Little did she know Alvin was thinking the same way.

'Yea I like a girl and she happens to my best friend. That's why I can't seem to stay in relationships because I'm constantly thinking a bout you Britt. No girl in this entire school knows me like you do. But the truth of the matter is obviously we're only meant to be friends and nothing else. I should just give up on you and try to find someone else. Though all these stupid girls are into me because of my fame and popularity. They'll use me just to get back stage to our concerts!'

After 2nd hour ended Alvin and Brittany headed back to their lockers and separated toward their 3rd hour classes. He walked to his 3rd hour and thought about the conversation they had earlier.

'Wait a minute I'm the one she has been showing the signs she's into me. I'm the most popular guy in the school. Oh man Brittany likes me really likes me. How could I be so blind and not see it. Problem is how to tell her I want her to be my girl? How do I tell her without us getting into one of our famous fights? Ok why is it so hard for me to figure out a way to make Brittany mine? Hello I'm Alvin Seville the biggest charmer in the entire school and the best!'

When he got to 3rd hour Simon grabbed him.

"Alvin I'm into Jeanette, but don't know how to tell her I am. Can you help me? Alvin please I'm desperate! You helped me land Gillian though you embarrassed the daylights out of me. Please! Alvin I'm begging you help me get Jeanette to be my woman."

Alvin sighed.

"Whoa hold up bro. You're into Jean? Are you serious? But you told me you don't want a girlfriend until we're older. Why the sudden change? Oh boy that's a tough one? Hmm how can we help you two get together? I'll think about a way and let you know. Come on we have to get in class or we'll be late."

Simon hugged his brother.

"Thank you Alvin."

Alvin looked.

"Ok get off of me. Man people are looking. Don't get so emotional gee."

In the meantime in their 3rd hour Theodore stared at Eleanor as he did her class work and sighed.

'Elle I may be with Juliet, but I really am into you. Problem is how to tell you? How am I going to let you know you're so much to me than my best friend? It's hopeless I need help and don't want to bug Alvin. He's under enough stress thinking about that thing we saw last night.'

Juliet tapped him.

"Theeble are you alright? What's the matter? Oh sorry about the dance but I'll be out of town. You're not mad at me are you? Theeble?"

He shook his head.

"No of course not Juliet. I understand. I'll just go with my brothers and the chipettes. It's no big deal really."

The bell rang and 3rd hour ended. Juliet took Theodore's hand and Eleanor just stared holding back the tears. She walked with Theo and Juliet and tried not to cry. They went to their lockers and met up with the others. Brittany and Jeanette knew that Eleanor was upset. During lunch Eleanor sat and watched as Juliet sat in Theodore's lap and started to play with her food. Brittany looked and shook her head. Alvin saw it to and grabbed Theodore.

"Umm Juliet can I borrow your Theeble for a second please? We'll be right back. Theo now I mean it."

Alvin grabbed Theodore and glared.

"You turn your head and look at Eleanor's eyes. She's about to cry because that Juliet is all over you. Another thing how can you stay with her when she can't even say your name right? Theo look at me we all know how much you're into Eleanor. Why don't you get over yourself and tell her already? She really likes you and it breaks her heart seeing you with that little girl. Now we both know that you and Eleanor are perfect for one another. Don't deny it either."

Theodore sighed.

"Alvin I'm not you. How do you expect me to tell Eleanor I want her to be mine? It's bad enough you helped me get Juliet and now I don't want to be with her anymore. Because to be honest with you I'm tired of hearing her call me Theeble. What do you want me to do?"

Alvin sighed.

"On your way to 4th hour talk to her. Another thing tell Juliet you don't want to be with her anymore. Cause obviously she has no problem. Look at that she's all over that basketball player. Oh no wait a minute that's Charles. Theo are you paying attention to me?"

He looked and his eyes slanted. Then he walked over to Juliet and tapped her.

"What are you doing? Oh so I suppose you lied to me about being out of town because he just asked you to the dance and you said yes. Another thing my name is Theodore not Theeble. Ok you know what you keep him we're finished and I'm taking Eleanor to the dance! Go on get mad at me! Too many times I saw you kissing other guys and said nothing! Now I've had it you and I are over! Bye Juliet! I have enough stress with my career and school; and don't need it from my so called girlfriend! Now it's officially over have fun with that pale faced weirdo!"

She ran after him.

"Oh fine then we're over at least he knows how to kiss unlike you! We've been together for a year and haven't kissed once! For a rock star you sure can't kiss Theeble. Now I understand why you needed Alvin's help to get with me cause you're an immature baby! Who needs you I sure as hell don't!"

The bell rang and lunch ended. Eleanor chased after Theodore and tapped him.

"Are you alright Theo? I'm sorry about Juliet. Theo talk to me please I'm your best friend."

He sighed.

"I'm fine Elle. It's been over for awhile now it's not a big deal really. Are you still going to the dance with me? Or do you think I'm a jerk and immature baby like Juliet said?"

She sighed.

"No I don't think you're an immature baby. You definitely aren't a jerk either and I still want to go to the dance with you. I was always wondering why you haven't kissed her yet. I mean you were with her for a year."

He sighed.

"I just didn't want to I guess. Besides I didn't want to be with her anymore; and didn't want to dump her because I'm not a mean person. Besides I'm only 11 and don't really know how to kiss. Anyway enough about that let's get to class."

She sighed and stared.

"Umm Theo if I tell you something can you promise not to get angry at me."

He looked puzzled.

"Huh get mad at you. Why would I get mad at you? What do you have to tell me; I'll listen Elle we're best friends."

She took a deep breath.

"Well it's like this. When I heard you got with Juliet I was happy; but then suddenly when I saw you holding her hand it broke my heart. I pictured myself being the one you were holding hands with. Then you asked me to the dance and the feelings I had changed. What I'm saying is I look at you as more than my best friend. Though it took me so long to realize I wanted to be more to you than a best friend. Do you know what I'm trying to say?"

He looked and shook his head.

"No not really. I'm sorry Elle I'm just a little upset right now. Exactly what are you trying to say?"

Simon bopped him one.

"She likes you and wants to be your girl. Duh; it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out! Hello are you listening? Older brother talking here; boy that glass of yours is always half full isn't it?"

Eleanor got upset and ran to class burying her head in her hands. Brittany looked.

"Elle what's the matter? Why are you so upset?"

She sighed.

"I tried to tell Theodore I want to be with him and he writ me off! I was wrong he doesn't feel the same way about me that I do about him. It's hopeless I give up on him! Let's face it the boys don't want to be anything else but best friends. "

Alvin rang in.

"Elle that's not true. He just broke up with Juliet. Give him some time to get over it and he'll let you know the truth. Telling him right after he broke up with his girlfriend for a year wasn't wise. Give it sometime and then tell him again he might react better than he just did. Yo Theo and Simon get in your seats the bell is about to ring. "

Theodore took his seat next to Eleanor and sighed. Then he took out his math book and started his class work. Eleanor just stared at him and shook her head. Alvin also looked and shook his head. His pencil broke and he tapped Brittany.

"Can I borrow a pencil mine just broke. Please Brittany we're not allowed to use pen in math."

She smiled and took out a red pencil and handed it to him.

"Here you go Alvin. Now be quiet before we get in trouble. It's a mechanical pencil hit the top and the lead will come out."

He smiled and took it from her. Then he went back to his assignment and thanked her.

"Thank you Britt. Ooh it writes a lot smoother than those stupid wooden pencils I'm so used to."

She just laughed and shook her head. Then she went back to her assignment and watched as Eleanor doodled.

Eleanor loves Theodore….even if he doesn't love me!

Simon looked and also saw the doodling and sighed. Then he went back to his assignment taking a glance at Theodore's desk after he handed in his assignment…Theodore loves Eleanor but is too shy to tell her he does! HELP!
