The Surprises of High School

Chapter 10: Am I a Prize to You?

There's not really much to say except thanks to all of you who are still reading up to this point in the chapter. I really appreciate it.

"They really went all out on this party." Kaitlin said as she walked into a building behind the hotel that was full of people dancing, decorations, and good music. "I know, it's so cool!" Eleanor said. "This is going to be the best night ever!" Brittany exclaimed as she nodded her head to the music. "Did they say what time the party is over?" Jeanette asked as her and the girls gathered in a small circle. "When we all get tired and start leaving or passing out from exhaustion I guess." Kaitlin laughed.

"So how did the date with Alvin go?" Brittany asked with a grin on her face. "It wasn't a date!" Kailtin said as she smacked Brittany on the arm playfully. "Did he actually catch a wave?" Eleanor asked. "Yeah, after a couple of tries." Kaitlin said. "Awww, that's so sweet Kaitlin. You two are cute." Jeanette said as she smiled at her. "Thank you Jeanette." Kaitlin said, returning the smile.

"Hey girls." Alvin said as he walked up to them with his brothers and rested his arms around Brittany and Kaitlin's shoulder. "Hi guys!" Eleanor said. " I heard that you caught a wave." Jeanette said. "Yeah, I'm king of the ocean!" He said as he raised his arms above his head in triumphant. "Yeah, of the shallow end." Kaitlin laughed. "Hey!" Alvin said as he grabbed Kaitlin around the waist and began to tickle her. "Ok, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She laughed as she tried to catch her breath. "That's what I thought." He joked as he let her go. "Go over there and stand with him, that way you two can be alone." Eleanor whispered in Kaitlin's ear. "No." Kaitlin told her. "Hey Alvin, why don't you take Kaitlin over there to get some punch!" Eleanor said aloud to them. "Sure." Alvin said as he grabbed Kaitlin's hand and led her over to the bunch table. Katlin looked back at Eleanor and gave her the evil eye while Eleanor and the girls just smiled.

Alvin led Kaitlin through the sea of people to the punch bowl on the other side of the room. "Is it just me or are the chipettes acting a little strange?" Alvin asked as a glass of punch for Kaitlin. "No, what gave you that idea?" She asked as she glanced back over to the girls. "I don't know, just a hunch I guess." Alvin said as he handed the plastic cup to Kaitlin. "Thank you." She said as she accepted it from him. "You're welcome." He said as he gave her a smile.

Just then a guy walked by them and whistled at Kaitlin. It seemed to irritate Alvin which made Kaitlin giggle. "Don't worry; I get that all the time. It doesn't matter thought, because I already like a guy." She said as she took a sip from her cup. Alvin could feel his heart drop. She did like someone else. "I was right, it is Simon." He thought to himself. "He's sweet..." she started to list off. "Simon." He thought. "Smart…" "Simon" "funny…" "Simon" He repeated. "Now is a better time then never." Kaitlin thought to herself. "And he's standing right in front of me." She finally said.

Alvin almost choked on his drink. "What?" Not sure if he had heard right. "You heard me." She said with a slight grin on her face. "Me! I thought you like Simon!" He blurted out. "Simon? No! Simon is like my brother as is Theodore." Kaitlin laughed, boys could be so clueless at times. "Well, I like someone too." Alvin said. "That's what I was afraid of." Kaitlin thought, trying not to show disappointment on her face. "She's cute, funny, smart, fun to hang with, easy to talk to, and she is standing in front of me." He said, using Kaitlin's technique.

"Me!?" Kaitlin asked, trying not to sound too exited. Alvin nodded his head. "Well this was easier than I thought it would be." Kaitlin laughed. "Yeah." Alvin laughed with her. "Hey Alvin." Clyde said as he came over to the bunch bowl. "Hi Clyde." Alvin said as he glanced over at him. "Hola, mi llamo Clyde." Clyde said to Kaitlin. "Que tal? Mi llamo Kaitlin." Kaitlin said, showing off her Cuban accent. "So are you two dating now, or something?" Clyde asked. "Umm…" Kaitlin said as she looked at Alvin. "Yeah, we are." Alvin said as he smiled at Kaitlin who was smiling back at him.

"See, I told you that you would win the bet!" Clyde said. "Hold up. What bet?" Kaitlin asked. "The bet that Alvin would end up going out with you." Clyde said. "No you made the bet!" Alvin said, trying to stop Clyde. "I know and you won!" Clyde said as he slapped Alvin on the back. "I can't believe this. So this whole time that you were nice to me was just to win a stupid bet?" Kaitlin asked, in shock. "No Kaitlin, it's not what you think!" Alvin said trying to calm her down.

"Am I just a prize to you!? Huh Alvin!" Kaitlin yelled. "I promise you, I had nothing to do with this!" He said, as he grabbed her hands in his. She quickly yanked them from him and sticking them on her head. "How could I be so stupid!! I knew this was to good to be true. I knew I couldn't be happy without something going wrong." She said. "Kaitlin, please…" Alvin started to say, but she cut him off. "Thanks for letting me know about this little bet Clyde." She said, tears starting to run down her face. She turned to look at Alvin, "Thanks for hurting me." She said softly before running toward the door. "KAITLIN!!" He yelled as he ran after her.

"What's going on?" Jeanette asked as she watched the two run out of the door. "Alvin." Brittany said as she placed her hand on her forehead. "I knew something like this was going to happen." Simon said as he started to run after him, with Theodore right behind him. "What's wrong!?" Theodore yelled as they followed the tracks toward the woods in the sand. "I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with Alvin." Simon said as he got closer to the woods.

"SIMON!!" He heard Kaitlin yell. He looked to his right and couldn't believe what he was seeing. A bunch of guys dressed in black were dragging Alvin and Kaitlin into the woods. Alvin had a sash tied around his mouth and they were dragging him and they were just putting a sash around Kaitlin's mouth before on of the men slung her over his shoulder. "KAITLIN!!" Theodore yelled, afraid for his friend. "Leave them alone!!" Simon yelled as he charged at the guy. He jumped on him, knocking him to his feet. But before Simon knew it, he felt something collide with the back of his head and then he blacked out.

HAHAHAHHAHAH!!! CLIFFFHANGER!!!! What will happen to them? Who are these men in black? (No they are not the MIB who fight aliens!) Stay tuned for updates!!! Review!!!
