Simon gazed through his bedroom window aimlessly. He inhaled one long, exasperated breath and slowly let it out. He had been sitting… staring out the window … at the house across the street for awhile now… just thinking…
He watched as a thin framed young girl with long brown hair stepped outside, followed shortly by a much taller and broader looking boy. The girl and boy held hands… slowly making their way down the sidewalk. The girl looked up then, right at the Seville's house. Simon… Simon could have sworn … right at… him. And he stared… unblinking into those brilliant bright emerald green eyes… He wasn't close enough to see them… but Simon already knew those eyes by heart… every little curve and speck… more so than his own.
A part of him wanted to run out there… snatch her hand away from HIM… and take… He would look Jeanette right in the eyes and tell her… tell her that he couldn't stop thinking about her… no matter how much he tried. No matter how much he tried to convince himself that she belonged with Jay… he couldn't stop thinking about her. And that she was the most amazing… colorful… thoughtful… girl he had ever met. That- that he was absolutely miserable without her… and that… he wouldn't ever settle for just being friends with her. But… he couldn't. Simon closed his eyes… and when he opened them… she was gone.
She liked Jay… that's what he kept telling himself. She liked Jay… And maybe… maybe he had made a few harsh judgments… Maybe Jay really was… perfect for her. I mean… if she was happy… that's what was important right? Right?
This was his fault anyway. I mean… he took forever to actually tell her… he liked her. It was his fault. Did he honestly expect her to wait forever? No… of course not. And then… what had he said… "go for it" Why? Of all that stupid things to say… why that?
He'd basically told her to go out with Jay. He'd given her his personal permission to date another guy… But then again… he hadn't actually expected her to LISTEN to him. And now look at what had happen…
Since he said that… he'd barely seen her for almost a week… She hadn't come over to study with him yesterday… he hadn't seen her at the library… she wasn't even eating lunch with everybody anymore… or walking to school with them… and… it was all his fault.
He just wanted to be with her. Was that too much to ask? He had finally found… a girl… his girl… his perfect girl… and… and now… he had to watch her walk off with some other guy? Was this some kind punishment? Maybe he'd lied to Dave one or two too many times… or maybe… maybe life just wasn't fair.
It wasn't fair… what had he done so wrong? Why was this happening to him? Why did he miss her so much?! Why should Jay have her anyway?! It wasn't fair!! He didn't deserve her!! It wasn't fair… Simon groaned tears welling in his eyes.
No, guys weren't supposed to cry. He hadn't seriously cried since that time almost three years ago when he broke one of his glass beakers. It fell and a piece of the glass got stuck in his finger. And now… he was crying over a girl? What was the world coming to?
It wasn't fair.

Jeanette threw up her arms, the air rushing all around her, the wind blowing back her hair. She opened her eyes and let out a scream she had been holding in. The car she was in dipped quickly around another sharp corner and she was tossed to the side, her body falling heavily into Jay's.
He looked down at her, his baby blue eyes catching her emerald green. She blushed and he smiled, reaching out for her hand but before he could take it, their car lurched again and they were thrown down a hill.
Jeanette let out another scream as the car jerked back and forth in its long descent down the hill before coming to a sudden stop back at the entry gates. Jay piled out of the vehicle first before extending his hand to help her. Jeanette gratefully took it, her knees wobbling, hands shaking, and adrenaline surging through her veins. She smiled.
The two made their way down the rollercoaster's steps and back onto the cement covered floors of the amusement park. They walked together hand in hand, Jeanette nodding as Jay laid out the major details of his soccer match that had happened just the night before.
He seemed pretty excited, moving the hand that wasn't holding hers back and forth with each expression. Jay ended the story grinning proudly, his perfect white teeth gleaming in the sun. Jeanette sighed.
Her eyes slowly drifted the clear blue sky. This is what she had been waiting for right? A guy… a real guy… to come along… one that actually liked her… She turned to look at Jay out of the corner of her eye… one guy… who actually seemed… generally happy just to be in her company… Was this what having a boyfriend was like?
Smiling at once another… quiet simple silence… last night… he had even called her… and they'd actually had a conversation that lasted longer than two minutes… two hours to be exact. Sure… before she didn't know much about him. But she was getting to know him.
He loved almost all sports… he was horrible at science and math… his parents were actually really strict… His favorite color was red… he usual made a B average. So he spent more time on the football field that in the library… that didn't mean they couldn't work. He was nice. He was sweet. He was incredibly cute… and he liked Jeanette. That's what he told her anyway… that he liked her… her… Jeanette Miller. She still couldn't believe it.
It was like it was too good to be true. She wanted to hold his hand forever… and she never wanted to go. It was like she was floating in some kind of dream world. This kind of thing… just didn't happen to girls like her. Girls like her… they didn't get… guys like that. They were lucky to get any guys at all.
She used to figure it was because she was so shy… that she spent so much time with her nose in a book she was just… unapproachable… but… she was only willing to believe that for a short time before…
"Hey, you want some cotton candy or something?" Jay asked. "Ice cream?
Jeanette nodded. "Yes… I…" she took in a sharp breath. "Thank you"
"No problem, Jen"
No problem he said. No problem. Did he have any idea what this meant to her? Did it even mean anything to him at all? She didn't want to get too caught up with him. She didn't want to be disappointed… but… even so… a part of her… didn't care.
She looked at him and she melted… she absolutely melted… She held his hand and her heart went into overdrive… he spoke and she couldn't help but shiver. She didn't want it to end… this pure blissness… Suddenly she understood all the things Brittany had told her before… Suddenly it seemed like she was in on a secret that everyone else seemed to know but her. And she liked it. This feeling of belonging to something other than her books… and her sisters of course…
Her sisters… She had to talk to them later.

Alvin and Theodore exchanged a look as Simon let out another sharp sigh, turninga page in his book. They had been sitting silently in their room for what seemed like hours. Hours, upon hours…. Alvin let out a loud yawn, rolling over on his scarlet covered mattress. Theodore groaned from his spot on the floor, his legs sprawled out in front of him.
Suddenly the red clad chipmunk sat up, quickly, looking from Theodore to Simon before jumping off the bed causing the springs to squeak in protest. "You guys are so boring" He declared. "I'm going to go watch a movie"
"I'll come with you…" Theodore called, sitting up quickly. "Simon?"
The blue clad chipmunk shook his head. "I'm busy."
Alvin let out a loud groan, quickly approaching the middle munk. "I am TIRED…" Alvin exclaimed, snatching the book from his brother's hand causing him to shout in protest. "Of you sitting around here sulking all the time!!"
"I'm not sulking." Simon argued, reaching for the book.
Alvin turned up his lip, quickly tossing the hardback across the room. It soared through the air for a bit before landing open and face down on Theodore's green clad mattress with a soft thump.
Simon stood up quickly, pushing Alvin back with his arms. "Leave me alone"
"No" Alvin said, pushing him back. "Not until you figure out what the heck is your problem and start acting normal for a change!!"
"I don't have a problem. And if I did… it's none of your business!" Simon shouted back. "It's private!"
"Private?" Alvin repeated. "We're brothers… NOTHING is private! And hasn't been since last year when I figured out your password for the computer!!"
"You figured out my password?" Simon asked.
"SIMONISAGENIUS." Alvin said rolling his eyes. "I mean… come on… you must be kidding me."
Simon let a loud groan and turned away.
"Just listen to me for a second." Alvin told him.
"Why would I listen to you?!" Simon cried.
"Because… I mean other than being smart AND handsome… "Alvin said with a grin. "I not only took my girlfriend to the fair the other day, I ALSO am taking her to the Spring Fling. Do you even HAVE a date?!!"
"Sorry but… Uh… Alvin… you don't… either" Theodore mumbled.
"What are you talking about?" Alvin asked. "I'm going with Brittany."
"Uh… Eleanor said… you didn't even… ask her" Theodore said slowly.
"Well of course not!" Alvin exclaimed. "We're going out! It's a given."
Theodore looked down. "Eleanor says… it's not a given."
Alvin rolled his eyes. "That's stupid. Why would I have to ask my own girlfriend to the dance? Did you ask Eleanor?"
"Well… yeah… two weeks ago."
Alvin smile fell. "Oh… um…" Alvin scratched the back of his neck, before pulling his cap over his eyes. "Excuse me… I'm… uh… going to make a phone call…"
