... no reviews that makes me very sad, please if you're reading review, if you don't like the story, tell me that I honestly don't mind because it can help me improve, as long as it's said nicely I don't mind, so please review and here's the chapter.

They all got into the car and before they knew it they were already being driven to school, Dave was going as fast as he was allowed to and the car was silent. Simon was relieved that Alvin was finally getting over this Rosie thing, or at least that's what he thought; really somewhere deep down in Alvin there was a lake of tears being held back somehow, if he got reminded in any way the gate would probably give in. Alvin was sitting next to Brittany in the car and although he didn't show it he was still upset, just then he thought about the dream he had last night, he had never had a dream like that before, usually his dreams would just retell what happened, reminding him of his guilt, but this time was different, he wondered if maybe the dreams he was having were trying to tell him something. Alvin sat in the car looking blankly out of the window, every person he saw, he saw her, Rosie... not exactly the best thing to be seeing another girl when you're in a relationship with another. Alvin shut his eyes tightly and shook his head, and when he opened again he sighed with relief that he could see normal people again. Just then the car came to a stop and everyone jolted a bit, and then before anyone could say anything they were all rushing out of the car, they stood on the pavement and waved bye to Dave as he quickly drove off.

"Okay everyone, we have 1 minute to be in home room, I've never been late and I'm not about to start" Simon said.

"me too, let's go" Jeanette added, and then all of the chipmunks ran up to the school doors as fast as their legs could carry them and ran through the school corridors, they got to history which was where their home room was and ran inside and as they did the school bell went off. Everyone was panting as they took their seats.

"few, made it" Simon said wiping some sweat from his brow, Jeanette gave him a weak smile back and sat at the desk next to him.

"Well... I've done... my... exercise... for the year" Theodore said taking big breaths in between his sentence.

"Me too" Eleanor agreed, she then reached into her bag and pulled out her water bottle, and drank the whole bottle in one go, after she was still thirsty and Theodore smiled at her. Alvin was also breathing heavily but because he was used to running in football practise, it wasn't as bad for him, Alvin slumped up to his desk, next to Brittany who started re doing her hair.

"What are you doing?" Alvin asked confused.

"because I was running so fast, my hair got all messy" Brittany replied as if it was the end of the world, if they weren't going out, Alvin would've said something smart like, oh please, it always looks messy, but seen as they were going out he pushed his idea away. Alvin turned to Simon who was next to him and tapped him on the shoulder; Simon turned waiting to hear what his older brother would say.

"Si, what's our timetable for today?" Alvin asked, Simon rolled his eyes and tutted.

"Alvin, it's in your student diary" Simon said annoyed. Alvin took a big sigh and rolled his eyes.

"But, I can't be bothered to look, and you always memorise the timetable" Alvin argued. Simon shook his head and sighed.

"It's science, English, art, drama and cooking" Simon replied, Alvin sighed and turned back to his desk, when the teacher started to talk.

"hello everyone, I hope you had a nice weekend, and are ready for this week, I will take the register and then you can go off to your first lesson" the teacher announced, the room went quiet as each student waited for their name to be called on the register, once it was done teacher stood at the front of the class and smiled.

"great a full house today, okay then everyone, you may leave to your first lesson now, have a nice day" the teacher said, just then noise of scraping chairs and rustling bags and talking filled the room and everyone was off to their first lesson of the day. Alvin really wasn't in the mood today, he walked with his head down all the way to science, and he had to walk up two flights of stairs and walked into the first room on the right where he sat in his usual seat next to Brittany. Just as he sat down the bell went signalling that they were late for class if they weren't there already, but Alvin didn't really care if he was, he just wanted to get through the day. Then the teacher strolled into the classroom, he was very tall, had black hair, and brown eyes, he was also quite young, maybe in his late 20's or early 30's. The teacher stood at the front of the class and spoke clearly with his low voice.

"okay everyone, today we are going to carry on with our presentation experiments, remember it's worth half of your grade, so make sure you try the bestest you can, we will be presenting everyone's experiments in the last half of our lesson so good luck and off to work"

Simon sat there with a huge smile on his face, science was his most favourite lesson in the whole world, and he knew that if he got his experiment to work, it would be amazing; he would be able to change science in a way no one thought was possible. Everyone got up from their desks and walked into the lab next door when they walked to their class trays and got all of their experiments out. Jeanette was working on a way to improve people's eyesight; she had made some glasses with special lenses that would do this. Brittany was trying to make a nail varnish that doesn't chip, Eleanor was testing the bacteria in different types of cheese, Theodore was testing what different types of biscuits dissolve the fastest in different liquids and Alvin had made a guitar that runs on solar power. Simon was very proud of his experiment but if it didn't work, he had just wasted half of his grade. Alvin was trying to finish his guitar but was having problems of making it work on solar power; he didn't know what was wrong.

"Si, could I have a hand?" Alvin asked innocently, Simon then glared at his brother.

"Alvin, I'm trying to sort out my own experiment" Simon replied, Alvin looked at Simon's desk and at the strange purple liquid that was inside a little tube.

"So, what does yours do?" Alvin asked, Simon stood proud and looked at his formula.

"You'll have to wait until the presentation" Simon said smiling, just then Alvin noticed the scared look on Simon's face.

"What's, wrong?" Alvin asked, Simon sighed and faced his brother.

"well, I only have two goes of this, one for the presentation, and that's when I'll test it, but I need the other lot to save because if this works it will be a great achievement, and I will be able to send it to the real scientist experts of the world, so I have to save one and if I test now, I will have one more try at the presentation and none for the experts to examine.

"Can't you just make it again?" Alvin asked confused, Simon rolled his eyes.

"Alvin, all of these ingredients don't grow on trees, they are very expensive and I used all of my money just for this, and it's my dream to create something that could save a lot of things and people and have real scientists appreciate my work and have everyone know my name as, Simon the one that saved us all" Simon said with wide, sparkly eyes, Alvin was quite shocked.

"Wow, I never realised you wanted this so bad" Alvin said, Simon smiled and nodded, just then Alvin noticed the bag next to Simon.

"What's in there?" Alvin asked, gesturing to the bag, Simon smiled.

"You'll see" Simon replied, getting Alvin more and more frustrated. Alvin turned back to his project and sighed with disappointment when he saw that his guitar still wasn't working, Simon felt bad and walked over to Alvin and sighed.

"Fine... I'll help" Simon gave in; Alvin looked at his brother and smiled. Simon examined Alvin's experiment very carefully to conclude what the problem was, when he saw he laughed.

"What's so funny?" Alvin asked. Simon turned to Alvin still giggling a bit.

"Alvin, how do you expect this to work on solar power when all the blinds are down, there's hardly any light and you're not even near a window?" Simon asked sarcastically, Simon walked to a window and pulled a blind up when Alvin then brought his guitar over, Alvin started to play and he got a perfect noise.

"oh thank Si" Alvin said, Simon smiled and was quite surprised Alvin had said thank you to him, Simon then walked back to his project and added the very last ingredient and shook it in to his formula. Then the teacher walked into the lab and stood where everyone could see him.

"Okay everyone, times up, back into the classroom and we will start on the presentations"

Everyone grabbed everything they needed and walked back into the classroom putting all their things on their desk.

"Okay, so who wants to go first?" the teacher asked, no one put their hands up and the teacher then looked disappointed.

"Don't all rush at once" the teacher said sarcastically and still no raised their hands.

"Okay, fine... Alvin you go first" the teacher added pointing to Alvin, Alvin took a big sigh and walked to the front of the class to present his experiment. Once all of the class had finished with their experiments, Simon was the only one left and was in deep water now, Jeanette had got an A as always, Theodore got a C+, Eleanor got a C, Brittany had got an B+ and for the first time, even Alvin had got a B, and if this didn't work he lost half his grade and spent all of his money for no reason, in a way Simon didn't want to go up just in case it didn't work but then his teacher called his name and for the first time ever Simon was worried about science. Simon got out from his desk and brought his formula and the bag with him to the front of the class, everyone watched eagerly to find out what Simon had done.

"okay, well my experiment is about curing the dead" Simon said, as that was said the whole class apart from the chipmunks burst out in laughter until the teacher told them to stop, Simon gulped and continued, he opened his bag and pulled out a dead mouse, the whole class gagged seeing it but was curious to know if it could come back to life. Simon opened the tube and poured half of it into the mouse's mouth, after a while nothing happened and the class started whispering, Simon got butterflies.

"Simon... is something supposed to happen?" the teacher asked, Simon could feel his heartbeat and just as he was about to run out of the room with embarrassment a small squeak noise came from the mouse, the room went silent and watched the mouse as it stood up and started walking around on the table, a huge smile spread across Simon's face, he was over the moon that it worked, Simon bottled up the other half of the formula and put it into his pocket and faced the class, everyone's jaws were at their feet, Simon had actually found out how to cure the dead.

"h-how is that even possible?" a boy asked, just then a girl stood up and started to clap when soon the whole class joined in, even the teacher.

"OUTSTANDING, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FORMULA OF YOURS COULD DO? YOU SIMON ARE ABOUT TO GET VERY POPULAR" The teacher said with a smile on his face.

"A+" The teacher announced.

"I'm guessing you are going to send that to scientists?" the teacher asked, Simon nodded and smiled.

"Excellent excellent, great things come from you Simon, great things indeed, and just one thing" the teacher replied.

"What's that?" Simon asked.

"we need to catch that mouse" the teacher replied, just then Simon grabbed a different formula he had, and stuck the long needle into the mouse, the mouse stopped moving and fell to sleep.

"You just keep on coming with surprises don't you?" the teacher joked, Simon smiled again he was the happiest person ever right now. A caretaker walked in and took the mouse away when the school bell then rang telling everyone to go to second lesson. The class started to leave the room and the chipmunks all ran up to Simon to congratulate him as they walked to their next class which was English.

"One down, four to go" Alvin said, everyone laughed as they heard this.

That's chapter 10, it may not be clear now but this chapter is actually quite important so remember it, please review and I'll see you soon! Xxx
