I woke up the next morning to a growling stomach do to the fact I didn't eat last night. My head was spinning from the night before, It all felt like a dream… well nightmare. I glanced over at my clock it was 7am I had woken up an hour early. That was strange considering I'm usually last awake. I sat up slowly and decided that it was probably best to get my shower and everything out of the way before everyone woke up.

After a long shower I through on my warm red hoody and walked over to the kitchen my heart pounded as I walked pass Brittney's bedroom almost like I was reliving yesterday. I sighed and carried on my lazy walk to get some food. After whipping up some toaster waffles and gobbling them down I realised that I still had 30 minutes till everyone wakes up. Still heart broken the only thing I could think of was sitting in the living room and watch as time crawled by. And so I did just that.

I lied down and just look at the celling when I heard the sound of a door creek. I closed my eyes and prayed it wasn't Brittney I don't think I was ready to talk to her yet. Although I would be nice to talk to someone now and just ask for some advice on what to do. And then like my prayers were answer Simon walked into the room half asleep.

"Morning Si" I mumbled in a depressed tone hoping he would get the hint I wanted to talk to him.

"Hey Alvin" he said hopping up next to me "you am… alright".

"Well depends if your heart being smashed into 1000 pieces alright" I could hardly finish the sentence, my throat just tightened and eyes started to water. Simon put a reassuring arm around me.

"Jeeze, you look terrible" I could hear in Simons voice he didn't like seeing me like this "this is why I steer clear of love". I lifted my head off his shoulder so I could see his eyes.

"Please Simon so you think I'm blind" I said with a giggle.

"What?" Simon asked pretending to be puzzled.

"We can all see the way you look at Jennet". Simon when bright red.

"I have no idea what you are talking about" Simon said trying to sound clueless to what I was on about.

"Come on Si you can trust me, you like her don't you". Simon didn't reply and just sighed in defeat.

"Knew it," I said with a smile on my face. "oh and Si you know when I caught you and Jennet ear dropping last night".

"Am… yeah" Simon said trying to sound apologetic.

"Don't worry I'm not mad bro but what did you to hear?".

"Oh you know just the bit about you admitting you have a crush and the whole… you know Nick situation". Just hearing about it made tears swell in my eyes. "don't worry bro I'm here for you" he said putting his arm around me again. I rested my head on his neck and just cried. I had never cried so much in my life but I couldn't care less what anyone though anymore after all I have good reasons for my tears at the moment.

As I sat the sobbing in Simons we heard another door open we still had 15 minutes till everyone woke up so this came as a surprise.

"Morning Simon" Brittney said clearly upset after seen the state I was in on Simons shoulder. Just hearing Brittney's voice made me sob harder but I held it in as best I could.

"Morning Britt" Simon replied.

"Am morning Alvin" Brittney didn't sound comfortable in the situation she was in and didn't know what else to say. But the only response she got was more silent tears dropping down my face. She took this as a note that this probably wasn't the best time and so she quickly hobbled off into the kitchen.

After a while of sitting on the couch hugging Simon the whole house got up. Simon gave everyone who came into the living room a reassuring nod to let them know that everything was all right.

After I had gone to the toilet and cleaned up Dave started calling everyone out to the car. I sat in the front and made sure I was sat by myself. The car drive was very tense because no one was talking in case it started a fight or something. It was probably a good thing though because I knew if I started talking to Brittney I would probably end up looking like a mess by the time we got to school.

As soon as the car pulled up I jumped out waiting for no one and went straight to class only to start panicking. I knew I would have to sit next to Brittney for most of the classes I was into today and there was no way of me moving because are school has a strict seating plan.

After preparing myself for what seemed like ages the school bell rang to signal the start of class and Brittney hopped up next to me. I made sure to make no eye contact and pretended to be taking notes but I knew I could only do this for so long. And just when I thought thinks couldn't get any worse Nick showed up. I clenched my fists as he hopped towards us.

"Hey Brittney" he said cheerfully.

"Oh am hey nick" Brittney replied. She could see how much pressure this was putting on me and decided to do something about it "hey nick can I talk to you for a minute… in private". This wasn't a smart move because as she said that I snapped.

"Oh no don't worry just ignore me like you usually do don't worry I wont but in" I said clenching my teeth.

"Whoa what's gotten into you" Nick said trying to be funny. Brittney knew that what he said was going to kick off a fight… she tried to get my attention to calm me down but it was to late.

"Ill tell you exactly what's gotten into me" I said shaking in anger "you… you have come along a fucked everything up".

"Whoa what did I do" Nick snapped back. At this point most of the class was listening to are argument. "This isn't about me and Brittney going to the ball together is it" when he said this is stood up off my chair and approached him.

"Yes that is exactly what this about you fucking idiot" Nick took offence from this and started to get angry himself.

" Oh poor Alvin don't cry, just because I had the balls to ask Brittney out before you" I couldn't take any more and blew it. I charged at nick and punched him across the face.

"Guys stop it please!" Brittney shouted out but it was no use. Nick came charging back at me and tackled me to the ground and it turned into a full on brawl. Luckily I was able to get the upper hand and pinned Nick down locking him in a headlock and repeatedly punched him wherever I could. I could here Brittney screaming for us to stop along with the other Chippets. But it was to late I dropped nick on the floor. He was completely out cold. I stood over his body panting I was covered in blood, his and mine. And only after the fight did I realise how much damage he had actually done. My lip was poring with blood my eye and back of my head was throbbing in pain and my wrist felt broken.

I looked around the classroom everyone was staring at me in shock, Brittney was crying her eyes out Theodor was looking at me like I was some kind of monster along with the other Chippets and Simon was looking at me with deep disappointment. And then the teacher walked in…
