Chapter 2

"Well the girls should be here any minute now, so Simon, you're taking Jeanette and Eleanor right? And Theodore, you're going with Simon too?" Dave said, handing the boys their lunch, as Theodore nodded and stuffed his lunch into his bag, "Yeah Dave, but Alvin said he's going with Steph...so I guess Brittany will be going too"

Alvin peeked into his lunch bag before making a face and putting it in his backpack, "Uh yeah she should be here any minute too"

Dave smiled before looking at his watch, "Well boys I've got to really dash off now, so I'll see you later tonight" he kissed them all on the head, which they all cringed at, seeing as how they were all 17 now and had really outgrown this since they were 7 years old.

The boys waved Dave out of the driveway as the Chipettes walked up the path.

"Brittany, do you really need to apply another coat of lip-gloss? Alvin's lips' slide right off you" Eleanor laughed as she pecked Theodore on the cheek. He blushed and gave her a quick kiss back before lacing his fingers between hers.

"Ellie if you must know, it's only the forth application and" Brittany planted a passionate kiss on Alvin's unexpecting lips, "Alvin won't slide off" She gave a shy smile as Alvin wrapped his arm round her waist, playfully kissing her on her neck.

Simon rolled his eyes and went over to Jeanette, giving her a smile "Well we should really be going now, Jeanette can I take your bag for you?" Jeanette blushed, "Thank you Simon" he took her bag and placed it in the boot of the car. Theodore too offered to take Eleanor's bag, who just giggled and pinched his cheek, "Theo, I'm a big girl, I can carry my own bag, but thank you" she began pulling him toward the car.

Brittany managed to slip out of Alvin's grasp, "So we going too?"

He smirked, "Ah no...I am not getting into a car with grandpa Simon, Steph should be here to pick us up soon"

Brittany's giggly face turned serious, as Simon backed the car out the driveway. Jeanette called out the window, "See you at school!" as Simon responsibly drove down the street. "Alvin, you know I love Steph, she's one of my best friends" she paused, "But her car is hideous! I can't go to school in –"she was cut off to the loud sound of the rattling pickup and sounds of heavy bass.

Steph pulled into the driveway and hit the horn, "Hey guys, who wants a ride?" Alvin smiled and dragged Brittany over to the passenger side, "Hey Steph, thanks for the ride, Britt hates your car by the way"

Steph leaned over and opened the door, "Aw Britt, what's wrong with the Xanatos Rusty Red?"

Brittany motioned for Alvin to get in and followed after, wrinkling her nose up as she climbed up into the cab, "Look, it's just not my type of car"

Steph leaned over Alvin, "S'cuse buddy" Alvin tried hard to lean into the car seat so as to avoid Steph's boobs (needless to say it wasn't working, and it took a lot for Alvin to try and concentrate on something else for the time she had her body rubbing up against his).

Steph flipped down the visor and sat back at the wheel, "Lookit, my ride has a mirror for your entire make up needs. It's handy flip down accessory means both your hands are free to apply as you ride and can be safely stored away when not in use for your convenience" She gave a cheesy smile.

Brittany frowned, then laughed, "Steph you can always make a bad situation good...sort of" she pulled out her makeup kit from her bag as Steph smiled and leaned her arm behind Alvin, looking at the road behind her "What would you guys do without me?" She backed out of the driveway and continued down the street.

They arrived at the school and Steph parked the truck, "Ok final stop, good ole' Eastman High, everybody out"

Alvin scooted after Steph and ran to the other side to help Brittany out, who smiled at his charm, "Ooh how sweet" she giggled as he took her bag and lifted her out by the waist, Steph put her hand on her hip, "Oh so no service for the chauffer then?"

Alvin laughed, "Ok I owe you a lunch then" Steph smiled and pulled her bag over her shoulder before locking the door, "Yeah right, you'll forget by first period...which is English?" she sighed, "Better get it over and done with I guess" together the three began walking toward their English classroom.

Walking into the classroom, Theodore and Eleanor had already taken their seats, Alvin and Brittany filed in with Steph coming in behind. The teacher, Mr Eddington pulled up Steph and Alvin at the door, "Now Mr Seville, Miss Xanatos, I'm hoping you both managed to study a little for today's test?" the two looked at each other and turned on the charm smile, "No sweat Mr Ed" Alvin said, sliding into his seat, "We got this covered"

Steph laughed and sat down too, "Yeah, hey let's just say that there's gonna be big competition for last place today"

Mr Eddington rolled his eyes and began striding down the aisle of chairs toward the front of the room, "Now class, as you know, we've got our test on Shakespeare's Midsummer's Night Dream, now I'll be coming around with your test papers, leave them as I place them until tell you to begin"

He started placing paper on desks; Theodore gulped, Eleanor appeared to be doing a self psyche up, Brittany sighed, Steph slumped down in her chair, Alvin cried out, "Ah hell! Look at the size of it!"

A few people laughed as Mr Eddington cleared his throat, "Thank you Mr Seville. Ok, this is a three hour exam so –"

Alvin interrupted, "How long?"

Mr Eddington gave him a glare and continued, "- so pace yourselves. All the best, your time starts now" With that everyone turned their paper over, and so the exam began...
