After a tense breakfast, Brittany walked out of the house and got Dave to drive her to the mall. When she got there, she called Alvin, something she rarely did.

"Hello?" She asked into the phone.

"Brittany?"

"Is this Alvin?"

"Is this Britt?"

"Alvie!" She exclaimed. "I missed you so much, how's football camp?"

"Aw, Britt, don't get mushy, I miss you and the guys too. Camp's cool, what about you?" Alvin missed that voice so much.

"Oh...yeah... um... that's what was I was going to talk about..."

Her tone changed.

He noticed.

"What's wrong?" He quickly sat up, no longer sleepy. (Where Alvin is, it's 3:00 in the morning.)

"Nothing, Really.." She said into the phone a bit too anxiously. "It's just that something weird happened this morning..."

"Like, what?" Alvin asked apprehensively.

"Well, it was just bit too quiet at breakfast, like no one was talking. It wasn't like they had nothing to say, or even too sleepy, it was like they were pointedly ignoring each other. Too Weird, huh?"

"Aw, Britt, don't worry about it too much. It's just breakfast. Even we get grumpy in the morning if we don't get our beauty sleep. *Yawn* Speaking of beauty sleep, G'night, Britt." Alvin yawned into the phone.

"Alvin, this is serious!" She exclaimed into the phone as Alvin hung up on her. She sighed. "Maybe Alvin was right," She whispered to herself. "Maybe there is nothing to worry about."

Jeanette was sulking in the living room, too sullen to even read a book. She aimlessly flipped through the channels on the T.V., finally turning it off. She leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes.

~Flashback~

Jeanette sat on a bench outside the library, waiting for Simon to arrive. He was 45 minutes late. She sighed woefully as the faintest breeze began to pick up, while the sky was was completely covered with storm clouds, the surest sign of a huge summer thunderstorm. Where was Simon?!

She turned her head and spotted him, standing next to the library, disappointment shown in his face. But she wasn't going to forgive yet. She walked up to him and poked him in the back. He turned around. "Where were you?" She exclaimed angrily. "I waited and waited and waited for you. I waited until the library closed and they had to kick me out, and you still didn't arrive. And now, here I find you, almost an hour late. Who are you, Alvin?" She looked at him with a mixture of disgust and sorrow.

"Err.." Simon had nothing to say.

""Besides, do I have to spend the whole summer helping your brother while you continue to be late? Well, I hope you have fun, being late everywhere. It's not going to get you very far." She turned on her heel and walked away.

It started to rain. "W-wait! Jeanette!" She heard him call.

She turned around, and shook her head sadly. "No. I waited long enough, Simon. I'm moving on." Then she turned right around, and continued on her way home, finally realizing that she probably meant nothing more to Simon than someone to hang out with if no one was around. She was tired of Simon using her like a wet rag. It was time to move on, find someone else. She was just too tired of waiting.

~Flashback Ends~

She opened her eyes and sighed. Yesterday proved that she meant nothing to Simon. He didn't actually tell her... but she could tell. What kind of guy makes plans with you, then forgets about them, leaving you to walk home in the rain, by yourself? An uninterested, heartless dude. A.k.a, Simon. Right now, she hated his guts. She couldn't believe that she spent all of her time, since 4th grade, waiting for him to show a sign, the smallest subtlest sign that he fancied her. Right now, it was clear he didn't. Not only did he put off the meeting at the library, but he wrenched her heart out of her chest and shredded it into a million tiny pieces, leaving Jeanette crestfallen, disheartened, and heartbroken. And that was unforgivable. She never wanted to see his smug, pompous face again. And to get rid of her mind on that dreaded heartbreaker, she would focus her energy on helping Theo get his dream body. She got off of the sofa, and texted Theodore to meet her at the park for a workout session. Hopefully, Theo wouldn't put her off, too, right.
