Here's chapter 3, hope it's alright :)

A couple of weeks passed by, and life was the same old thing it usually was. But this week was getting much more interesting, because prom was coming up, and everyone was deciding who they should go with, and what they would wear. The school was buzzing with conversation about dates and dresses, and guys were trying to pluck up the courage to ask girls out.

Simon and Jeanette had already decided that they didn't really want to go to the prom, and they might stay home and study for a test that was also coming up. But if they did want to go, they would go together as friends.

Theodore and Eleanor werent really interested in prom dates and dancing, but they were considering going together if there was going to be good food.

Alvin had lots of girls asking him if he had a date, and that if he would take them, but he always replied with "I'm not sure, sorry".
But the truth was, he didn't want to take any other girls to the dance. He wanted to take Brittany, but she probably didn't want to go with him. Brittany wanted to go with Chase, he could tell. She'd been hanging around him and flirting all week, so he tried to avoid her if he was around. He hated to listen to Chase act all sweet and innocent to Brittany, when Alvin clearly knew he wasn't.

He waited in the hallway for Simon and Theodore so they could walk home together.
"Hey Alvin, let's go" Simon approached him, and continued down the hallway. Theodore walked next to him.
Alvin lingered behind them, his footsteps were slow, and he wasn't really watching where he was going.
"Alvin, are you okay?" Theodore asked.

Alvin almost tripped down the stairs that were leading outside "Yeah, I'm fine" he forced a smile.

"Are you sure? You don't seem yourself" said Simon.

"I told you, I'm okay. It's nothing"

Alvin found himself looking over to an all-too-familiar chipmunk. Brittany was leant against a tree, and Chase was smiling and talking to her.

"Oh" Simon smiled "You're jealous of Chase getting all the girls?"

"No" Alvin shook his head "I'm not."

"Sure" Simon smiled and nodded.

"I am not jealous of Chase!" Alvin snapped.

"Then what's the problem?" Theodore piped up.

Alvin looked at Brittany. She looked happy and was smiling at Chase "I told you, it's nothing."

"Okay, you can say that all you want, but we know there is something wrong" Simon looked at him with concern.

Alvin shrugged lightly "Okay... Listen, since you want to know so bad, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone"

Simon and Theodore nodded.

"The truth is, I am jealous of Chase... But not for the reasons you think" he looked at Brittany "I'm jealous of him because he's getting attention from the only girl... That I actually want"

"Wow" Simon looked a little suprise "I didn't know you felt that way about her. I thought you two were just friends"

"We are" Alvin signed "But recently I've realized that I care about her in a very different way than I did when we were younger..."

Simon nodded "I see. But Alvin, why are you standing back and letting Chase have her? You might miss your chance, dude"

"It's complicated" Alvin ran his fingers through his hair "She clearly wants him, but I know that he doesn't really care about her like I ever will. Sometimes we have moments that leave me thinking that she could maybe like me... But then they pass"

"Then why worry about her?" Simon asked "There's tonnes of girls out there that like you, why don't you go out with one of them?"

"It's not the same, Si" he sighed "None of those other girls are Brittany. You don't like Jeanette, do you?"

Simon blushed a little at that thought "Uh, no. We're just really good friends"

"Then you probably don't know how I'm feeling" Alvin forced a smile "Come on, let's go home"

"So, you'll go to prom with me?" Chase grinned.

"I'd love to!" Brittany smiled back.

"Cool... Well, uh, I'll see you later" Chase winked at her, and turned and walked away.

Brittany let out a deep sigh, and smiled dreamily. Jeanette and Eleanor ran up to her, smiling.

"Did he do it?" Jeanette asked, excited "Did he ask you to prom?"

"Whoa, calm down Jean" Brittany had a big smile on her face "And yes, he did ask me"

"Yay! That's great" Eleanor giggled.

"But wait, what about Alvin?" Jeanette asked with a slight frown.

"Alvin has been asked by a tonne of girls, I've seen them all ask him. And plus, we're friends, he wouldn't want to take me."

"Yeah, I guess so. Although, me and Simon, and Ellie and Theo have agreed to go as friends. Do you think Alvin will feel left out?"

Brittany let out a light chuckle "Are you kidding? He's Alvin, he'll be fine"

But Alvin wasn't sure if he was okay. Yeah, Brittany was his friend, but a part of him seemed to want more. He found himself second-guessing his feelings, maybe he really was just jealous that Chase was the new chick-magnet of the school, or maybe he really did care about Brittany as a friend and he didn't want Chase to hurt her.

But whatever he felt, Brittany would probably never find out. Yeah, Alvin acted like he wasn't afraid of anything, but even thinking about talking to Brit about his feelings made him cringe, and that was another thought that scared him. If he didn't have romantic feelings for Brittany, why did he feel shy toward her all of a sudden?
