I'm gonna state the obvious and say that I don't own any characters in this story. Woo!
I'm thinking about drawing fanart now too for fan ficitions, starting with my own. So, if I get anywhere with that, I'll be sure to notify you guys! But for now, review please. I need to know how I'm doing or I'll end up losing hope and giving up.

Chapter 2
Jeanette sat upright on her bed, her back againest the headboard, reading the romance novel she had been so into for the past couple of days. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't seem to put it down. She had been trying though.
Like one time, the day before, Jeanette really had to go to the bathroom.
"I can put it down for just a minute." She said to herself, placing the book on her bedside table and standing up.
Jeanette wasn't even half way to the bathroom before her mind started wondering what was going to happen next. She quickly ran back to her room, grabbed the novel, and darted towards the bathroom again.
Jeanette took a glance at the clock. 11:45?! Already?! And both Brittany and Eleanor were tucked cozy in their beds, snoozing the night away. The time must have truely flew by.
Time for bed, Jeanette. Come on, you can finish tomorrow. She had to reassure herself, or she would never be able to get to sleep.
But, of course, as soon as she was about to switch her booklight off and lay down, her cellphone, which had been on her bedside table, began vibrating. This only made Jeanette sigh. Usually, the only way someone would call this late is if the person had the wrong number, or they were trying to get her to answer some stupid survey. She actually got those calls alot, from schools all over the country. Hey, even if she was only in 10th grade, it's never too early to start thinking about the future.
As she glanced at the phone though, she saw a familiar number.
...Simon?!
Why was he calling so late? Was something wrong?
Although she was terrified to answer now, she finally got the courage to.
"...Hello?"
"Hello? Jeanette? It's Simon."
Jeanette smiled, "Oh, I know."
She realized how loud she was talking and began to whisper.
"What do you need, whats wrong?"
"Jeanette, I was wondering if I could talk to you personally about a few things. Personally about someone."
Jeanette's heart began pounding. Either Simon was going to say something she's been waiting to hear for a long time, or that romance novel was definately getting to her head.
"Sure, Simon. Wh-What is it?"
Simon grew silent into thought for a moment. He didn't want to give Alvin away completely. If he did, then Alvin would probably never speak to him again. Even though this barely worried Simon, he still had to realize it. So, he tried to make it obvious without making it too obvious. That would work, right?
"Well, you see... Someone I'm very close with ... uhhh.. they're pretty much hiding their feelings for someone they've been friends with for a rather long time."
Jeanette's heart stopped. He was talking about himself! It was so obvious!
"Oh...a-and?"
"Did you...catch any of that?"
Jeanette gulped, "Y-yeah, I think."
Simon nodded in contentment, "Good! I was wondering if you knew how that person felt about my... friend." Simon knew he sounded completely confusing, but hoped that Jeanette's brains would help her understand everything.
Of course, Jeanette was completely missing the point, and getting over excited, began to talk louder.
"Well, hah, I think that that person really likes your... friend... even if she doesn't act like it too often."
A small giggle got caught in Jeanette's throat, but it came out louder then she thought. She quickly covered her mouth and glanced to the right of her to make sure neither of her sisters woke up. Luckily, to her, they didn't. But a quiet Eleanor softly opened her eyes, and saw Jeanette on the phone.
Why on Earth would Jeanette be awake? Still reading? Eleanor thought to herself, squinting her eyes to adjust to the light.
"Oh, excellent! Just what I needed to hear!"
Jeanette's face was turning red, "Your welcome, Simon."
So that's who she was talking to? Simon? And did she say something about an oblivious girl liking one of his friends? Eleanor thought about it for a minute, and finally realized, Simon must be trying to help Alvin with Brittany! This only made Eleanor smile as she rolled over and closed her eyes again, trying to fall back asleep.
"One more favor, Jeanette?" Simon asked.
"Yes?"
"Tell that person to be at the park tomorrow night at 7:00 sharp. My... friend, will meet her there for a night she'll never forget! And don't ruin it by telling her why she has to go!"
Now Jeanette's face was as red as a tomato. She was also a little confused as to why Simon didn't just say that it was himself now, but she took it in anyway. "Alright Simon. Goodnight!"
Simon smiled, "Goodnight Jeanette!"
Jeanette hung up, a sigh of happiness escaping her. She believed that tomorrow night was going to be like the scenes from her novel, romantic and unforgettable. But to Simon, he believed that his plan had been working. Only one more thing he had to do.
Find a way to get Alvin to go to the park at 7:00 tomorrow night.
