Afraid of Love
Chapter 2: JERK
Brittany's POV
He's such a JERK!!! I screamed in my mind while I exited the bus. I just had to get away from him as fast as I could, or I don't know what I will do to him.
As I hurried to the entrance I heard Alvin yell my name. "What!" I said irritated.
"Look. Britt. I'm sorry, please! I didn't mean to hurt you or anything I just...
"Save it, Alvin, just leave me alone. I mean it. Apologize when you have matured." I turned around and went inside the building. As I walked down the hallway I slightly looked back at Alvin. By the looks of it he was angry and frustrated but mostly **.
Ah, crap, he did actually apologize twice to me. I guess I'm just to stubborn to forgiven him.
The bell rang and my first class was math. "Great this day seemed to just get better and better."
Alvin“s POV
Apologize when you have matured, she said and went inside.
I was standing there and absorbed what she had said to me, and I felt how the anger burned inside me. I just wanted to scream out in frustration but that would just make to much of a scene that even I couldn't handle.
I was doing my best to calm down, but what the hell. I apologized to her not only once but Twice! Twice! Goddammit.
Then I heard someone chuckle behind me. It was Simon.
"So I guess she's still mad at you," he said, while cleaning his glasses.
"Oh, how'd did you figure that one out, Sherlock? I mean what am I suppose to do to make everything all right?!
"Well I do have one pretty good answer for that, and that is... Stop-Pick-Fights with Brittany for crying out loud!"
"Oh don't try to act innocent, Si. I have seen you and Jeanette have fights too."
"Yes, maybe we had one every sixth month or so. but we're dating and every time we have differences, it only brings us closer. Maybe!... if you were dating Brittany, you two wouldn't fight with each other as much as you do."
"Ew, Simon, it was bad enough that you gave me an picture in my head of me dating Brittany, but..." I didn't had time to end the sentence when the bell rang.
Simon sighed and said, "We'll have this conversation later." Changing the subject he said, "Let's see, you and I have history together and did you study for the test?"
"My eyes widened what test?!"
Simon looked at me, while we still headed to the classroom
He sighed and said, "Who am I kidding. You never study.
"Shut it! No, I'm serious. What test?"
"How am I suppose to answer when you tell me to shut up?" Simon said with a grin.
"Just tell me! What is the test about?" I said, still in a bad mood.
"It's about the US constitution and the Declaration."
"Okay, the man in the boat and all those guys in the room signing that paper right?" I said, while I snapped my fingers.
"I wish you my best," Simon said with sarcasm in his voice and his hand on my shoulder.
"Hey, what was that suppose to mean? I wish you my best, and meaning it, or I wish you my best but don't count on it kind a way?"
Simon just rolled his eyes and entered the classroom with me right behind him.
When we entered the room I noticed that we were the last ones in and our teacher Mrs. Kensington gave us the evil eye.
"You're late," she said with a harsh tone.
"Sorry, Mrs. Kensington," Simon said, while trying to kiss up to her. "Alvin had me on hold a little too long."
"No excuses. Take your seats, and let's get started. You're lucky I don't give you an F right away."
"I'm so sorry, Mrs. Kensington. It won't happen again," he said once more.
We turned around and headed to our seats, and I hit Simon on his shoulder and said, Thanks for making me the villain in all of this."
Simon just smiled. " You have to learn to be faster or you will be taken the blame for everything. Was it not something like that you taught me when we entered school for the first time... Alvin? he said with a grin.
"Oh, please, shut up, Si!"
"Alvin!, Simon! Something you liked to share with the rest of the class?" Mrs. Kensington asked.
"Oh-no-no-no-no! it was nothing important. You would just get bored if we told ya," I said with an nervous look on my face.
With that I heard how the rest of the class start to laugh a little bit.
"Quiet, young people!!! And you, Seville, one more time, and I'll fail you. Listen up the test will be about the US constitution and Declaration, and you have one hour to finish."
"And if I hear any cellphones, whispering and any indication of cheating you all fail. You will start... Now!"
"I opened the envelop and read the first question:
Which of the following are the inalienable rights referred to in the Declaration of Independence?
life, liberty, and property
honor, liberty, and peace
liberty, health, and community
life, respect, and equal protection
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
I felt a cold sweat start to run down my face. Man, are they serious? Maybe question two:
What was the source of the following phrase: "Government of the people, by the people, for the people"?
the speech "I Have a Dream"
Declaration of Independence
U.S. Constitution
Gettysburg Address
Oh, come on... let's see. I think it's A but C sounds more likely. I slightly looked up to see that Mrs. Kensington had her eyes on me. I quickly looked down at the paper.
I heard Simon was humming something and was almost done. I looked at the watch ten minutes had already passed I felt even more sweat running down my face. My heart started to beat faster, and I could barely breath. Another ten minutes I panicked. I had to get out of here.
MRS. KENSINGTON!!!!! I stood up and yelled. This startled Simon so much that he snapped his pencil in two. Everyone had shocking eyes on me.
An awkward silence passed then I heard Kensington say with a shocking but most angry look on her face.
"Something on your mind Seville?"
I stood there speechless. "I-I... I have to go to the bathroom." I felt how my face turned red of embarrassment.
"Right, well, you know where it is. Come back when you are finish and bring your paper up here when you leave."
"Okay, deal," I said and hurried out. I went by the lockers and leaned against it, while I clenched my heart and started to breath normally.
Go to the bathroom?! That was my only excuse, the bathroom! No doubt that I'm gonna fail the test and worst Dave will find out. Can it get any worse?
"Ahem." I heard from behind me. I turned around and was startled. It was principal Eyheart.
"So skipping tests and lies to get away, huh?!
"How'd did you... I mean I don't know what you're talking about."
"You were saying it out loud. You know the drill."
The sad part is that I knew. "Yes, Principal Eyheart. You're office after school?"
"And don't be late. I'm gonna call your father, and then we will have a little talk... now, please, go back to class."
Shit, I thought. I just had to push my luck, didn't I. Oh and note for myself. Stop thinking out loud.
"Ha-Ha-Ha, oh man," Simon said, laughing. "It didn't take one class for you to be sent to the office. This totally makes up the outburst from the first half hour."
"Yeah-Yeah! Just get it off your system, egghead. My god! What is it the 5th time this month?"
"7th."
"Man, Dave sure ain't gonna love this."
"Well, I truly feel sorry for you, but if you excuse me I promised Jeanette to meet her by her locker, see ya."
I looked at Simon hurrying down the hall and suddenly he turned"Oh, Alvin, before I forget after school I will be at the science club as the new head chairman, and Theodore is going out with Eleanor. So it will be just you and Dave tonight.
"Great!" I said, while I sighed. "I guess you join me for lunch later?"
"Sure. Oh, Shit. Jeanette. I'm gonna be late."
I looked at Simon run as if he was caught on fire. That's when I felt an arm around my neck.
"Hey-Hey-Hey, Heartbreaker."
"It was Bobby, one of my friends."
"So, what the hell do I hear about you breaking up with Angela. I mean, she was an perfect ten pointer. You don't ditch ten pointer, Alvin!"
I broke loose of his grip and sighed, while saying, "Dude, we dated for like five weeks, and then she started to talk about marriage. It freaked me out. I had to break up with her."
"Yeah, right. Let's go to the school park. I promised Thomas to meet up there, and then we will have a talk aright?!"
"We walked down the hall and through the trophy room and went outside there we saw Thomas making out with Samantha.
"Man, she's hot, clearly an eight pointer, don't ya think Heartbreaker?"
I just shook my head and greeted Thomas, "Whazup, bud. How's it going?"
He just looked at me with an question mark on his face.
"Alvin, is it true about you and Angela. I mean..."
"I already asked him that," Bobby said, while cutting Thomas off. "And yes, we all want to hear what he has to say for his indifference. Fire away, Heartbreaker."
"Okay, first of all, stop calling me that. Second, as I told Bobby I had only dated her for five weeks, and she starts talking about marriage. I mean, what the hell was I suppose to do?
"Well, go for it. You might get laid," Samantha said.
I looked at her a little bit shocked. I would think that either Bobby or Thomas would had said something like that, but I didn't expect it from Samantha.
"She's right," Thomas agreed. "If you're always this picky you might die alone, and the bag will be full. I mean, when was the last time you'd had sex?"
"Okay, enough! my sex life is completely of topic."
"Oh, chill out, Alvin," Samantha said. "We are just worried about you... but seriously she was an eight pointer."
"Ten, Samantha!" Bobby said, irritated. "She was an ten pointer. Please, let the master hold on to the grading, will ya?
"Oh, come on," Thomas said laughing. "When was the last time you even had a girl?"
"I'm waiting for the special one! The girl that will fill the empty hole that aches my heart. The one who I will dedicate my life to that special one."
"That's the word of a poet," Thomas said, while he clapped his hands.
While we are discussing grades, where does Brittany fit in to your list?
"Oh, funny for you to ask, Thomas, my friend. I have studied her for a couple of days now and..."
"Dude your a lonely and sick person, but go on."
"Right! I was saying that I have analysis on every proportion of her body, and came up with this. She doesn't fit in, because she's in a class of her own, and no doubt the hottest girl in school. She's like a rare jewel that everyone wants but be careful the beauty might blind ya."
"Oh come on... stop it! Can you remind me why I hang out with you again?" I asked
"Because we're buddies, and you love me, Heartbreaker."
"Well, you should be careful with the stalking, not only would Brittany beat you up if she knew about it, but her boyfriend would kill ya,"I said and pointed in their direction.
"What? Michael? Oh come on he's such a Dick! I give me five minutes alone with him, and I would bring him down," Bobby said with confident.
I just rolled my eyes and looked at Brittany and Michael. How could I describe him? Big guy for one, Captain of the football team, I guess a person that every girl wants and an intellect lower than an orange.
Brittany has had many boyfriends. Most of them were assholes or just dated her for her fame, but ever since she started to date Michael she had been acting weird. I had noticed the way she dresses. She used to always go with sleeveless shirts but suddenly now she had always long sleeves. Most of our fights lately have felt more like she's letting off steam, and when I asked her about it she never wants to talk about it.
I remembered one time she came up to me yelling and crying like it was my fault over something that I hadn't even started. After that I went against Michael. I was so angry. I asked her what he had done to her, but Brittany just pushed me away and yelled that I should leave them the hell alone.
From that day I had my eyes on him.
"Alvin?!"
I snapped out of it and looked confused at Thomas.
"Where were you? You'd seemed very far away for a moment."
"Oh, nothing," I said. "Just a lot had happened this morning. It's nothing to worry about."
The rest of the day went by unusually smooth, until my V.I.P meeting with the principal. I was in the waiting room and waited for Dave, when I suddenly thought back at lunch.
It was special turkey for lunch or at least something that would look like it, anyhow. I remembered that Thomas and Bobby were telling jokes, and Theodore and Eleanor were laughing about it. Simon and Jeanette were making out with each other.
I didn't really pay so much of attention. My eyes was locked on Brittany, who sat three tables away. I was wondering if she still was mad at me. Then I saw Michael I felt disgust when he sat down beside her. Then I noticed that he was touching her on her chest and even tried lower. I saw Brittany being very uncomfortable with this. I felt a burning rage ignite inside me and was about to get up and beat the living hell out of him. That's when I saw Brittany getting loose of his grip and ran off. What I couldn't understand was why she still hooked up with him. This ain't like Brittany. The Brittany I knew would send that person to hospital if someone touch her without permission.
Jeanette and Eleanor saw that I was very upset with something and I asked them the question. "Ellie?Jean? What does Brittany tell you about Michael?"
They looked at each other. Then Eleanor said, "Well, to us she says that Michael is a true gentleman and the perfect boyfriend."
"Why do you ask?" Jeanette asked, worried.
"Nothing... now, I knew that something was defiantly wrong."
That's chapter two folks I hope that you liked it more than the first one I'm still in progress of chapter 3 and I will try to make it an Chipettes chapter not only Alvin.
