Chapter 7
It's been about 3 weeks since the official ending of Eleanor's lessons and Alvin was going out of his mind. He called Eleanor almost everyday and found an excuse for them to hang out. Eleanor found it kind of amusing at first, but then she became annoyed.
One day, Alvin called Eleanor and she told him that she couldn't hang out, because she had other things to do. She hung up without even a goodbye. Alvin was confused. "What's up with her?" he asked himself.
"Maybe she's tired of you calling her," came a voice from his looked up to see Simon leaning on the doorframe. He sighed. Simon came over and sat beside him on the bed. "Man, you got it bad," he said.
Alvin nodded. "I think that end-of-the-lessons thing did something to me," he said.
Simon nodded this time.
He looked at Alvin seriously. "Go to her house and tell her how you feel. I mean it. It'll make you feel so much better," he told him.
Alvin looked him in the eye and saw he wasn't gonna back down. So he looked down and nodded. "Okay, I will," he said.
Simon smiled and said, "Good." Then he got up and seconds later, he poked his head back in, "When I come back in 5 minutes, you better be gone or I'll tie you up and take you there myself." Alvin gasped in horror and started rushing to get ready. Simon smirked and left.

Alvin pulled up on the side of the road in front of the Miller's house. He cut off his car and sat there. "I can't do this," he said and was about to start his car again until he thought about what Simon might do to him if he went back home.
He sighed and got out the car. He took a deep breath and started walking up the driveway. "I know what I'm doing. I know what I'm doing," he said as he walked. When he got to the door, he rang the doorbell. Once he heard footsteps, his eyes got wide. "What am I doing?" he asked himself. Just then, Brittney answered the door.
She smiled. "Alvin, what are you doing here?" she asked.
Alvin rubbed the back of his neck and looked down at his feet. "Um, is, uh…Is Ellie here?" he asked finally. Brittney looked confused. "What do you want with Eleanor?" she asked in a mean, sisterly way. Alvin looked at her.
"I need to tell her something," he said.
Brittney looked him over for a minute before she opened the door wider and said, "She's in her room." Alvin walked in and started walking upstairs. He was glad Eleanor had her name on her door or else he would've been lost.
Just when was about to knock on the door, he heard Eleanor talking and laughing with someone, that someone being a boy. This made Alvin kind of angry and opened the door. Eleanor looked at him and asked, "Alvin?"
Alvin saw that the boy was Theodore, who was sitting at her computer. He walked over to him and pulled him out of the seat and started pushing him out. "Get out. Go home," he said.
Theodore was about to protest, but Alvin pushed him out, shut the door, and locked it. Eleanor stood up from her place on her bed and asked, "Alvin, what are you doing here?" All of a sudden, Alvin grabbed her face and kissed her. Eleanor was surprised, but she kissed him back.
Finally, Alvin let go and said, "That's why I'm here."
Eleanor shook her head. "You just wanted to kiss me?" she asked.
Alvin huffed and said, "That's not all, Ellie. Why would I waste gas just to come here and kiss you?"
Eleanor bit her lip, shrugged, and looked to the side. "Because we like each other," she said.
Alvin nodded and looked to the side, too. "You got that right," he said.
Just then, they looked at each other and exclaimed, "What?! Did you just say that you like me?! Yeah!" at the same time. Then Eleanor gasped and Alvin's eyes widened. Then Eleanor started giggling.
Alvin stared at her like she was crazy before a grin broke out on his face. Soon, he was laughing along with Eleanor. Once they stopped laughed, they sat on the bed and stared at each other. "When did you start liking me?" Alvin asked.
Eleanor blushed and looked down. "I've always liked you, Alvin, but I thought you were into my sisters. I mean, you slept with both of them, so…," she said.
Alvin sighed. "Well, I just started liking you about a month or so ago. I couldn't get you out of my mind. I realized that I go crazy if I can't be near you. That's why I kept calling you," he said.
Eleanor smiled at him. "That's not like, Alvin. That's love. You love me and I feel the same way you do about you," she said. Alvin looked at her. "I mean about…me…I love you," Eleanor whispered as she gazed in Alvin's eyes.
Alvin started leaning in. Eleanor rolled her eyes and kissed him. Alvin smiled. Then he started pushing her back. Eleanor sighed and leaned all the way back, pulling Alvin with her. Alvin lifted his head and chuckled. "Would you let me do this?" he asked.
Eleanor rolled her eyes. "Well, could you do it before I'm thirty?" she asked.
Alvin leaned closer and whispered, "I want to go slow with you. I want you to remember this night."
Eleanor smiled. "I'll remember it regardless just because it's with you," she said.
Alvin smiled and whispered, "Aww." Then he kissed her. Eleanor reached over to her night stand and pressed a button on her remote. Just then, music spilled from her stereo system. Then she turned out the light.
