Chapter 6 :)

Enjoy~

Alvin sat in Science class. He looked around the room. It seemed that everyone had a partner, except him. This never happened to Alvin, he was the most the most popular guy in his grade, he always had a partner.

Simon and Jeanette were hard at work. Brittany and Chase sat in a far corner of the room, giggling. He made eye contact with them briefly, then turned away, sighing. He felt like such a loner.

'I guess a lot can change in a week, eh?' he almost felt sorry for himself.

He glanced out the window. It was a nice day. The sun shone brightly, but there was a cool breeze that gently shook the trees in the school yard. He forced himself to smile, before turning his attention to a pencil, twirling it around and around in his hand.

"Excuse me" someone said, right behind his shoulder, snapping Alvin out of his daze. He jumped, a little startled, and turned around to face them.

He saw a Chipette behind him. She had dark fur, almost like Simon's you could say. Her hair fell just above her eyes, and was draped over her shoulders. She had sparkling green eyes, that mesmerized Alvin. They were so beautiful.

Alvin looked at her for a few seconds.

'That's right' he remembered 'She's the new girl... She used to go to school with- with Chase... Geez, it must have been a bad school for them both to move in the same year. Must not welcome chipmunks'

"Oh. Oh-uh, hey" Alvin forced a smile and cleared his throat "Whats up?"

She grinned at him "Hey, I'm Amelia"

"Hey... I'm-"

"-Alvin, I know" she smiled again.

There was a long pause "Anyways... She began. You don't have a partner, do you?"

The happiness he was just beginning to feel went away, he looked at his desk "Nah, not this time"

"Neither do I..." she said "Do you want to work together, maybe?"

He nodded, forcing a grin. He was grateful to have someone else's help. He wouldn't have been able to finish the project all on his own.

She sat down next to him.

The bell rang. Lunch was finally here. Simon and Theodore met him in the hallway, as usual. Jeanette and Eleanor were already with them.

'And as usual, Brittany has ditched us for Chase...' although he didn't really mind so much this time. Amelia seemed to make up for Brittany's absence.

Simon looked her up and down "And who's this?"

Alvin smiled at her "Oh, this is Amelia. She's the new girl, she came from Chase's school"

The other four smiled at her, and said hi.

"Hey" she grinned. She was feeling a little more welcome at this school "Uh, where's that other girl that usually hangs out with you?"

"Oh, Brittany?" Eleanor squeaked "She's with Chase. You probably know him?"

Amelia wrinkled her nose "Oh- Oh, Chase. Yeah, I know him"

"What's with the face?" Alvin said slowly, "Do you not like him?"

She shook her head "Nah, he's an ass. Doesn't care about anyone but himself"

Alvin made an 'I-told-you-so' face to the other four, and turned to Amelia.

"Yeah" she continued "I actually found that out the hard way. I used to date him, but that didn't work out" she let out a half-hearted chuckle.

'I knew it. I knew he was a jerk. Brittany doesn't believe me anyways... She'll figure it out' he thought, with a hint of sadness. He didn't want Chase to hurt her, but what could he do now? He'd already reeled her in.

"Oh" Jeanette said, a little concerned "Sorry about that"

"Yeah" she shrugged "Me too. But what can you do, you know? I just hope he doesn't hurt your sister like he hurt me..."

Everyone suddenly found the floor very interesting. They hadn't really believed Alvin until now, but as Amelia said, they couldn't do anything. They just hoped Brittany would realize that Chase was a bad person before things got too serious.

"Anyways..." Amelia said, breaking the awkward silence "I'll catch up with you later"

"Bye" Eleanor said, still concerned.

"Alvin... Did you want to come with me?" she asked, her voice had a hopeful tone to it.

He glanced at his friends, then at Amelia "Uh... Sure. I'll see you guys later?"

They all nodded, and Alvin caught up with Amelia.

"There goes another one" Simon chuckled.

"No, Alvin's not gonna leave us, is he?" said Theodore, sadness in his voice.

Simon shrugged "I hope not. But Alvin's a lot like Brittany, I suppose..." he watched them walk away "I just hope he realizes that he's ditching us before he goes as far as Brittany has..."

"So, what's the deal with you and Chase?" Alvin asked, curious "What did he do that was so bad?"

"Oh, it was nothing really... He was just a jerk" she shrugged "I don't really wanna talk about it"

He nodded "I understand"

"So what's the deal with you and Brittany?" she asked "I saw you fighting yesterday. You two got pretty loud"

He smiled at her, amused "You're very observant, aren't you?"

She nodded, grinning "Yeah"

"Well... I don't know. She's just been ditching us for Chase a lot..." he frowned "I don't know why, I just really don't like Chase. I have a bad feeling about him"

"Join the club" she laughed.

They walked along in silence, the cool breeze blowing their hair lightly. Amelia brushed a lock of dark hair out of her eyes, and smiled at him. He smiled back.

"So..." she said, awkwardly "Is this Brittany... An ex-girlfriend of yours?"

Alvin looked a little startled "Oh-uh... Um..."

He took a deep breath, and cleared his throat "No... No, she's not"

"Do you like her...?" she asked.

He looked at her, again, a little startled "Sorry if I'm not minding my own business" she said "I tend to do that"

Alvin shrugged. He honestly didn't know if he liked her or not. They were just friends.

'Do I like Brittany?' he asked himself 'No... I don't. I can't like her. What's the point?'

"I don't know..." he sighed "I suppose she's just a really good friend"

"I see..." she nodded sympathetically "But if she's only a friend, why do you hate Chase so much? You seem so... Jealous of him"

"I don't know that, either" he shrugged again, running his hand through his hair "I guess I'm just worried about her... This week has been a really confusing week for me. I have all these feelings, I don't really know what they're all about"

Alvin had never opened up to someone like this before. Especially a girl. A girl that he'd just met that day. But he had to admit, it felt good to have someone to talk to, someone that shared his hatred for Chase.

"Aw" she smiled, sweetly "You'll get through it"

He felt her soft hand on his shoulder. He smiled back at her. This is the happiest he'd felt all week.

A question popped into his mind, and he smiled.

'Yeah, I've only met her today, but she's so nice... And this moment is the perfect moment to ask-'

"Do you want to go to the prom with me...?" he asked, not knowing what had come over him.

She smiled, and nodded.

Well... There you go.

A new OC :P
