Getting to Know You

Alvin and Britney's story

Part III

The following is a sneak peek at the third chapter. If you have any suggestions, please send them to me.

When last we left our lovers, they had just walked in to their class holding hands, thus exposing their relationship to the usual congratulations, questions, and possibly hatred. What will happen? Let's take a look…

When the clapping had died down from their classmates, Alvin and Britney were both laughing nervously. It seemed to them like their class had been anticipating their eventual relationship, and had just applauded them on finally taking the leap. They sat down in their desks in the back of the room together, both slightly red in the face from the unexpected audience. When they had settled in, Alvin's friend from sports, Sam, slid into his seat next to Alvin and started to talk to him.

"Hey dude, you finally asked her out? Nice man. How did you do it?" he asked not seeing Alvin squirm in his seat at the personal question.

"Uh, I just sorta told her how I felt and she said she felt the same. But I was hoping to keep it low on the radar for a little. So much for that." He replied sounding disappointed.

"Well, you are the most popular guy in school, and she is the hottest girl in the district. Add that to the fact that you both are famous singers, how long could you have kept it secret anyways?" Sam asked, sounding a lot smarter than he was.

"Yeah, but now I'm gonna feel like everything we do is watched. You know how it is, like when you started going out with that one girl last year and people were always talking about it. I just don't want it to be like that for us." Alvin replied nervously, trying to keep his voice down so that Britney wouldn't hear.

"Dude, people have been placing bets on when you'd start going out since the fifth grade. Let it go and enjoy!" Sam said carefree as always.

"Maybe you're right dude, what's gonna happen anyways?" Alvin said laughing at his own paranoia.

As the class began, Alvin found it harder and harder to concentrate. There was a prickling at the base of his skull. Almost like someone was watching him, but that was impossible, his back was to the wall. Nevertheless, he scanned the room and found that the only person watching him was a quiet girl near the middle who kept glancing back at him and Britney.

After class let out, Alvin escorted Britney to her locker which was conveniently enough, right next to his own. As they picked up their books for second and third period, Alvin couldn't help but notice that the quiet girl from their first period had followed them the entire way, and was now standing in a corner facing them while trying to blend in with the wall.

"Hey Brit, who is that girl?" Alvin asked.

"Which girl?" Britney replied, looking around in confusion.

"The one in the corner, the one with the glasses and the ponytail." He said, pointing her out.

"Oh, that's Susan, you know, the girl who had that huge crush on you in the seventh grade. Why do you ask?" she answered

"Well, I thought she was watching us in class this morning, and I couldn't figure out where I remembered her from. Why do you think she was watching us though?" Alvin responded.

"I don't really know, and I don't really care." Britney said snappily, "Those other girls can look all they like, but you're all mine now Alvin." She finished with a seductive look that drove him wild.

"Hey, are we still on for the recording studio after school?" he asked, once his thoughts were back in control.

"Definitely," Britney smiled, looking forward to the duet covers they were going to do that afternoon, "I wouldn't miss it for anything! Now get off to class Romeo, or you'll get detention again." She said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek and headed off to her second period gym class.

Unbeknownst to either Alvin or Britney though, Susan had seen and heard the entire conversation, and she was much less the quiet girl than people thought. And she was following Britney to her next class with a wicked plan in mind.
