Author's Note - Well, here's Chapter two!! I'm not too sure how I did on this one. Ideas, pointers, and opinions are GLADLY taken. PLEASE REVIEW IF YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

Brittney slammed her bedroom door. She laid down on her bed and held a pillow close to her. So may mixed emotions swam through her head. Why was she so angry? It's not like Alvin killed anyone. She knew that even that the essay took her forever to write, Alvin didn't mean to ruin it. She wondered if something more was bothering her than her essay....

Brittney sat up and wiped her face of the tears that lined her face. She walked over to her mirror to find that there were black lines going down her cheeks, so she sat down and started to fum around with the various perfumes and makeups that took up the whole desk.

When she was done she signed with relief. If anything cheered her up it was either shopping or primping herself up. Just as she was done putting her makeup back in order, Alvin walked in

"Brittney, I'm really sorry that happened. I didn't mean for it to. If it makes you feel any better, I'm grounded for a week."

Brittney looked at Alvin. She felt sorry for him, but at the same time she still had hard feelings.

"I forgive you Alvin, but I'm STILL not talking to you!"

Alvin sat on her bed,

"Ok, I get the point! Lets just get this over with, I have a life you know!"

Brittney, a little annoyed by his comment ignored him and got up to get her laptop out. She sat it on her desk and took the chair form her "makeup center" to the desk where her lab top was so Alvin could sit down. Alvin got up and sat by her.

"Ok, lets work on you essay tonight and then we'll work on mine tomorrow. What is yours about Brittney?"

"Mine is about how me and my sisters found Ms. Miller, what's yours about?"

"Wow, that's weird. I am writing about how me and my brothers found Dave."

"Hm, that's...cool. How close are you to finishing it?

Alvin started to pull at his collar of his shirt

"W-well, I only have about.....Three more pages to do.

Alvin sat there with a fake smile plastered on his face.

Brittney gave him a "You really think I'm buying your act" look. She held out her hand and said.

"Ok then, show it to me."

In desperation to by time Alvin blurred out:

"Um, I forgot to bring it."

"Alvin, if you knew we were going to work on our essays today, why did you "forget" it?"

Alvin grew pale.

"Umm, w-well -

Brittney put her hand in front of herself

" Alvin, don't even continue to try to explain. Great, tomorrow is Saturday and I have to spend all of it helping you write a 10 page essay!

Alvin let out a nervous laugh and pushed down Brittney's hand.

Please Brittney, I told you I was sorry a million times already!

Brittney took a big deep breath trying to let go of all the anger bubbling in her. She turned back to her laptop and said in her mind:

"Just...........let....it..go."

" Ok Alvin, you just better watch your step for the next week!"

Alvin felt like protesting, but he saw how mad and hurt Brittney was, so he left it....for now.

"Ok, yeah, sure. Let's just get started, ok?"

For the next couple of hours Brittney typed away on her laptop while Alvin made suggestions on extra things she could put in. Actually – Brittney did most of the work and for most of the time, Alvin complained why everything was said, as he put it "girlish" and why the typing was pink. Then they would agru over stupid simple things that took them even longer to finish.

"Finally! We're done!"

Alvin yelled as he ran down the stairs to see what Eleanor and Theodore were doing. Brittney signed with relief as she collapsed in her bed. She turned her head to her clock and groaned....9:30pm.....Three and a half hours of non-stop questions from Alvin "why is this" "why is that" "do you have to put it that way?" Even though Alvin was 16, he still acted like he was eight.

She got up slowly from her bed and put her laptop away. When she was done, she switched off the lights to her room and headed down stairs. In the living room, Theodore, Eleanor and Alvin were watching a movie.

Brittney went to the kitchen and got herself some tea to relax her. After she put the water on boil, she sat at the kitchen table wondering why she made such a big deal over her essay. She knew Alvin didn't mean to ruin it, but something inside her still couldn't bring herself to stop being angry at him.

She looked on the table to see a picture of her sisters and the boys on their first day at high school. Right before the picture was taken, Alvin gave her a nuggie, so she pulled down his hat right when the picture was taken. Brittney smiled at the memory and thought in her head.

"I wonder if I am starting to have fe-"

Before she could finish her sentence, the water started to whistle she quickly went over to make sure it didn't interrupt the movie.

After she finished making her tea, she joined the others in the living room. Eleanor and Theodore were on the love seat together while Alvin took up the the big seat. She didn't feel like arguing Alvin to sit up a little so she could sit down, so got a bean bag from her room to sit on.

Right after the movie, Dave, Miss Miller, Simon and Jeanette came in.

"Come on boys, lets go – it's getting late."

Both Eleanor and Jeanette kissed their boyfriends before the walked out of the door.

Alvin got up off the couch and put his red coat on. He then walked up to Brittney who was still on the bean bag.

"Hey Brittney, I'm leaving."

Brittney just sat there ignoring him.

" Brit, I said I am leaving!"

Brittney turned her head away from Alvin and called out to Theodore and Simon

"Bye guys, see you on Monday!"

"Bye Brittney!" responded Simon and Theodore before they walked out the door.

Alvin's face got red and he march off.

" FINE! BE that way!"

Brittney Eleanor and Jeanette jumped when Alvin slammed the door behind him.

Jeanette followed Brittney as she went to put her cup in the sink.

" Brittney, how could you be so cruel to Alvin? He didn't mean any harm to you!"

Brittney placed her cup in the sink and turned around to answer Jeanette.

" Jeanette, he ruined my essay! You know how long and hard I had to work on that essay! Plus, I was forced to spend three and a half hours trying to re-type my essay with Alvin! Do you know how many times he argued with me about my choice of words and creativity?

"But Brit, you act like he emotionally hurt you!"

Jeanette paused for a moment. Then she smiled and laughed.

"Oh, I know what's happening. I can't believe you didn't realize it before I did since you know about everything there is to know about dating and stuff!"

"Ok...So like what is that supposed to mean?"

Jeanette let out a little giggle.

"Oh Brittney, Brittney, your falling in love with Alvin!"
