Fanfiction – Alvin and the chipmunks -" How long I can last "
Chapter 2 – "Let's play a game"
I always used to look forward to going to school. Unlike my older brother Alvin, for whom, as he always says, 'school is the worst punishment the world has sent down upon him'
For me, school was a place where I could broaden my horizons, learn new fascinating information about which I had no idea before. To put it simply, school was a pleasure, but now Pleasure has turned into misery. Since Derek invaded my school life, I could no longer enjoy studying as much as I did before. My happiness fades with each passing day...
Of course despite all the inconveniences, I try to remain normal and keep my focus on the things that really matter to me: my family and friends.
I don't want them to see me like this, so I try my hardest to behave normally around them . In their eyes, I am a genius, a perfect, unshakeable brother! I am someone to whom they can go to with their problems. I can' t destroy their vision of me… and I simply don't want them to find out what I am going through for two reasons: first, I don't want to drag them into my problems, and second, I don't want to be consider as a weakling.
As a perfect child, I have to solve my problems myself...
I just wonder for how long I will be able to endure all of this alone...
- "Haaaaaaa…" - Alvin sighed.
- "Alvin please. Hold on five more minutes and you'll have a break" -Mrs Smith said irritated.
- "But Mrs Smith, it's five minutes! I don't know if I can endure hearing any longer about a little midget!" - Alvin said dramatically.
- "We weren't talking about cake?" -Theodore asked innocently. Mrs Smith sat down on her desk and grabbed her head. #author's note at the end explains this joke
- "We are talking about Napoleon. Not about the cake!"- Mrs Smith said tiredly.
- "This is not about him! This is about me! "- Alvin cried out.
- "Alvin I swear, if I hear one more word coming out of your mouth, I'll sent to the Princip..."- The bell for the break interrupted Mrs Smith speech and in a moment all of the students quickly ran out of the classroom.
- "Alvin, you could have let go of Mrs. Smith a little bit. She's just trying to teach us something" -Simon said to his brother.
- "But Simon! I really couldn't stand it anymore!" - Alvin complained. Simon began to teach Alvin once again about the importance of lessons, but Alvin did not listen to him and came up with more imaginative arguments to support his vision of not learning at school. Both brothers started to get annoyed by the words of the other. Theodore began to feel stressed by the worsening climate around them and he knew he had to do something about it.
- "Um guys shouldn't we go to the gym? I think we're about to have a PE" Theodore interrupted his brothers before any quarrel broke out of their conversation.
- "Oh! you're right, Theodore! the best lesson is about to start! Come on guys, we can't be late" - Alvin said enthusiastically and started pushing his brothers towards the gym completely forgotting his previous conversation with Simon.
- "Everybody gets together! Today we are playing ... "- the coach said with a dramatic pause. 'please not a dodgeball, please not a dodgeball ' Simon begged in his mind – "we're playing dodgeball "- the coach finally said. 'Oh, God why?!' Simon cried out in his thoughts, hiding his face with his hands.
- "the teams captains shall be Kevin and Derek "- the coach said pointing at team captains.
Derek glanced at Simon with a slight smile and at that moment, Simon realized that today's classes won't end up well for him and he wasn't mistaken.
Alvin Pov:
As soon as I heard that we were playing dodgeball, I was thrilled. I couldn't wait to be the last player on the field! and then l'll get the ball and start knocking out all of my opponents. The crowds would start screaming "Alvin! Alvin! Alvin!" And then there will only be me and my last enemy on the field. I'll get the ball. We will look deep into each other's eyes. And then without any warning I will throw the ball straight right into my opponent… And I hit him! Crowds would go crazy, girls would start squeaking cheerfully, and I would stand there in a blaze of glory!
- "AAaaalvin! "- the coach's voice ripped me out of my thoughts.
- "H-ha what?" - I said absent-mindedly
- "you're on Derek's team. Go to the left side!" - Coach yelled at me.
- "Hey, hey, you don't have to shout, you could just say it. " - I answered unmoved and then walked towards my team. I was a little surprised to hear that Derek picked me up for his squad. Usually, we are in opposite teams and we have a fierce fight between us. What must have happened to him that he suddenly decided to play with me on the same side?! It looked reeeeaaally suspicious, so I couldn't help but be a little bit curious about his reasons…So I asked him.
- "Hey Derek, what happened that you want me on your team? "-The perfect answer appeared in my mind. - "O.o.o.o.o… let me guess, are you afraid of losing again! And that's why you wanted me on your side?... I guessed, right?" -I said with a vicious smile. Derek looked at me with visible irritation in his eyes.
- "As if I am afraid of a little chipmunk! I can beat you up whenever I want "- Derek said as he crossed his arms.
- "Oh, yeah, but you know, Derek, that little chipmunk has already beaten you about 16 times and you won, let me see...hmm you won one, two… eight times, but who'd count it?" - I said looking at my fingernails with a smirk on my face. Then I glanced at the annoyed Derek walking away. I was proud of myself, after all I just shut him down so perfectly, but unfortunately my moment of celebration didn't last long.
- "Everybody on your side of the court !"- I heard the coach shouting. Then I and the rest of the team headed to our half of the court.
My team was made up of me, Derek and his 3 buddies. The opposite team on their misfortune included: Simon, Theodore, Kevin and 2 other nerds. I cannot memorize their names. Honestly, I didn't even remember that they were in our class!
I was a little sorry to look at my brothers' team, because it was very weak. like seriously weak… but on the other hand I had the opportunity to remind them of the fact that I won a match against them... again, so it wasn't that bad for me.
Before I noticed the game started. The first balls were thrown. I bypassed 2 balls and caught the third one. I threw it straight at Kevin getting him out of play. Three players have already been knocked out of my brothers' team and most of the balls were on our side of the field.
I noticed in the corner of my eye that the majority of the shots were aimed at Simon. Namely, one person was constantly aiming at him. It was Derek. At that time, I didn't care much about it, but now I know I should've reacted...
It was a moment. I saw Derek throwing his ball with a big smile.
Everything happened suddenly. Derek's ball hit straight into Simon's face, knocking him out of balance. Simon fell to the ground.
I was terrified. I ran up to my lying brother and saw...
