Chapter 9

Morning came around quickly, mainly because Brittany and Alvin didn't fall asleep until 2:30AM.

Brittany woke up first, her head resting on Alvin's right shoulder. His arm was firmly around her, holding her close while her right hand held his left hand tightly.

She sighed, looking up at the sleeping chipmunk with a smile on her face. She moved herself closer to him, although it was nearly impossible because they were already so close.

Knock knock knock.

Brittany jumped in her place, startled by the sound on the door. Neither knock or jump woke Alvin though.

"W-who's there?" She asked softly, not wanting to take the risk in actually waking up.

"...I should be the one asking who's there." A familiar voice echoed in the hallway. Brittany immediately recognized it.

It was Simon.

Oh no! Brittany paniced in her head. She knew that if Simon walked in and saw Alvin and her like this, he'd never believe Brittany when she asked him on a 'date'.

"Uh...it's Alvin. I'm changing." She said, deepening her voice and sounding ridiculous. Luckily, Simon couldn't tell.

"Oh?...Well, Theodore made breakfast. Is...Brittany still here?" He asked suspiciously, mostly because of Alvin's change in voice. Thinking about it more, he guessed that it was because his brother had just woken up.

"Uh..." Brittany stuttered, looking around uneasy. "She's sleeping...on...the floor." She bit her lip knowing how stupid she sounded and prayed that Simon couldn't tell.

He blinked, confused, but not being a morning person decided to shrug it off. "Whatever. Just come down for breakfast." Simon rolled his eyes, shoving his hands in his pockets before trugging down the stairs.

Phew. She slowly looked back up at Alvin who was still sleeping. This only made a gentle smile appear on her face.

"Wow, you're a heavy sleeper." She whispered, nudging him a bit with a giggle. "When we were younger, you used to wake up with the sound of a ... well ..." She paused for a moment before shouting, "...BOO!"

Suddenly, Alvin's eyes shot open with a gasp. "I'M UP!" He ylped, quickly sitting up in his spot causing Brittany to sit up also, squished between his arm and side.

Brittany gasped for air, "Good to know." She choked, trying to move her way out of the situation.

Alvin looked to his right, seeing Brittany, then gasped again, taking his arm back. "I'm sorry!" His cheeks turned pink.

Birttany smiled, now laying back on Alvin's pillow. "Don't worry about it." Her stomach started rumbling. That's when she remembered what Simon had told her. "Theodore made breakfast for everyone. We should go downstairs."

Alvin yawned, stretching his arms and 'accidently' nudging Brittany's chest. "Woops! Sorry, toots." He winked.

Brittany blushed, sitting upright with her legs off the side of the bed. "Since when were you allowed to call me that?"She asked softly.

Alvin smiled, grabbing his cap and adjusting it on his head. "Well, I just assumed."

Brittany rolled her eyes, giving Alvin a small smirk, "Don't." She mocked him by winking back before standing up and walking towards her nightbag. She pulled out a pair of fluffy yellow slippers which matched the bows in her hair, slipped them on her feet, then waved for Alvin to follow her as she headed out the door.

"Good morning, Simon!" Theodore greeted his brother with a smile and wave after looking up from his cooking.

Simon only gave Theodore a small nod before sitting at the table. He yawned and rubbed his eyes before sniffing the air.

"I made both pancakes and waffles. I couldn't decide between the two so I just made both!" Theodore giggled as he continued, "Oh, and a side order of hashbrowns and eggs, of course!"

Simon cracked a smile, nodding again. He found it cute how his younger brother was so into yet confused by his cooking.

Just then, Alvin and Brittany walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. Strangely to Simon, they weren't holding hands. Infact they looked almost angry at each other.

"G-good morning, Brittany." Simon finally said to break his vow of silence, "You too, Alvin."

Brittany only rolled her eyes hearing Alvin's name, then plopped down into the seat next to Simon, a grin on her face, "Thank you, Simmie." She said flirtatiously, giggling a bit.

This startled Simon as his glasses became slightly foggy. He cleared his throat, pulling his shirt collar from his neck awkwardly. "O-oh. My pl-pleasure." He stuttered, a soft shade of red filling his cheeks.

Alvin bit his lip as he watched his older brother get so embaressed around Brittany. Keep it together, Alvin. This is only an act. He told himself, taking a deep breath in. With that, he sat down opposite to Brittany and licked his lips, hungrily. "Bring on the food!" He obnoxiously said, slamming his plate on the table.

Theodore smiled and nodded, grabbing the huge plate of pancakes/waffles and placing it in the center of the table. He seemed almost confused by what was going on. Didn't only last night Alvin tell Brittany he liked her? He shrugged to himself before also placing down the plate of hashbrowns and eggs.

"Thanks Theo." Simon complimented in place of Alvin's rudeness, taking two pancakes and placing them onto his own plate. "Would you like any?" He asked Brittany like a gentleman. Brittany shook her head no, giggling again, "I'm good."

Alvin shuttered to himself before grabbing two waffles and some of the scrambled eggs.

"Jeanette! Hurry up, we have to go pick up Brittany!" Eleanor complained loudly as she waited at the bottom of the stairs for her sister to come down.

"Just a minute, Eleanor!"

"What's taking you so long?!" Eleanor asked in a yell.

"N-nothing!"

Eleanor rolled her eyes with a sigh and sat on the last step, waiting.

"Alright, I'm ready." Jeanette said with a smile, appearing at the top of the stairs. Eleanor turned around, her eyes widening and her jaw dropping as she stared at what Jeanette had done to herself.

"That's an awful lot of makeup, Jeanette... and an awfully short skirt..."

Jeanette tried smiling. "Well, it's one of Brittany's, so..."

Eleanor held back her laughter, shaking her head in embarressment. "Dressing like that isn't going to impress anyone, Jeanie."

Jeanette suddenly grew quiet, looking down at her feet, "Well, ...Alvin likes it apparently."

Oh no... Eleanor thought to herself, rushing up the stairs to her sister's side. "You shouldn't care what Alvin thinks! He's not worth it, trust me." She went into her handbag and pulled out some tissues, handing them to Jeanette. She took them willingly and slowly began wiping the thick makeup off her face.

"...I'll go get changed then."

"Good. But hurry, Brittany's waiting."

Jeanette nodded with a somewhat concerned look on her face before walking towards her bedroom. She quickly rushed into it, slamming the door behind her. Tears began falling from her eyes as she fell the floor tragically. She was so confused. She didn't know who she really liked or who really liked her. She felt lonely and disowned from the world.

Just then, her cellphone could be heard vibrating. Blinking and wiping her tears, she slowly stood up and grabbed it.

"...Seville Residence?" She said outloud, thinking to herself. "Must be Brittany."

"...Hello?"

"Jeanette?"

"...Alvin?" Jeanette's breath was taken away as she heard his voice through the phone.

"Hey! I was wondering..."

"Yes?"

"What are you doing tonight? I think we should hang out."

Jeanette was speechless. Alvin wanted to hang out with her?

"...I'd love to, Alvin."

"Great! 7:00 at the park. Be there. Bye!" He hung up abruptly."

"...Bye." Jeanette sighed in disbelief, falling onto the floor again, her phone close to her heart as she stared at the ceiling.

"Jeanette!" A voice screamed from the hallway. It was Eleanor again. "Are you ready?" She walked in to see Jeanette on the floor completely starstruck.

She smiled as she turned to look at Eleanor. "Nope. I'm not going. I'll um...see you later."

Eleanor seemed somewhat surprised at Jeanette's new mood, but smiled knowing that she was happy. "Well, alright. I'll be back soon." She left off with a small wave before heading out the door.

Jeanette sighed again, standing up to sit on her bed. She couldn't believe what was going on. Maybe Alvin was coming to his senses afterall.
