This chapter is also on the night of the prom, but it was what Eleanor and Theodore, and Jeanette and Simon were getting up to whilst Alvin and Brittany were at the prom.

Enjoy-

Theodore slumped down on the couch next to Eleanor. They were watching 'Meerkat Manor' on TV. It was the pairs favourite show. He let out a sigh, and rested his hand on his belly.

"Eleanor?" he spoke up.

"Yes, Theo?" she looked away from the TV and at him.

"D-Do you think Simon really meant what he said the other day...?"

Eleanor frowned, confused "Um... What did Simon say?"

"He said 'There goes another one' when Alvin left with Amelia... Like he was leaving the group, l-like Brittany did" he had sadness and concern in his eyes. He loved Alvin, and he didn't want some girl to take him away from them.

"Theo..." Eleanor sighed "Look, it's possible... But I doubt Alvin will get reeled in as easily as Brit did..."

Theodore nodded slowly "I understand. I just hope you're right, and Simon was the one that was wrong this time"

Eleanor smiled "Yeah"

They both sat in silence for a little while, watching the meerkat's scamper around on TV.

"Eleanor, do you think that Alvin and Brittany should be together?"

She thought for a moment, looking at nothing in particular "Yes... I do" she sighed, a little annoyed "If they were, then there wouldn't be this big 'Chase and Amelia' problem"

"Yeah..."

"But I wouldn't worry about it, Teddy" she smiled at him, and scooted closer to him "Everything will work out"

He hugged her "Thanks Ellie"

"That's okay, Theo"

Simon sat at his desk, his laptop in front of him. His face was lit up by the dim light it gave off. His blue-gray eyes read each word on the page, scanning back and forth.

Jeanette looked at him from her place on the bottom bunk, and smiled "What are you reading?"

He looked away from the screen for a bit "Hm?" he pushed his glasses further up his nose "Oh! Uh, just looking over our project"

"Mind if I look too?" she grinned at him.

"No, sure, go ahead... After all, you wrote it too" he chuckled, scrolling back up to the top of the page.

Jeanette walked over to him, and leaned over his shoulder. Her hand was resting on his left shoulder, and her head was barely touching his right one. His heart beat a little faster. He suddenly found himself with butterflies in his stomach, and he began to tap his foot out of pure nervousness. He tried his best to keep his breathing sounding normal, so she wouldn't think he was strange.

'S-She's so close to me...' he thought, his eyes turning to his right. Her violet coloured eyes were reading the same way his always did. Back, and forth, in a smooth motion. They were the most mesmerizing pair of eyes he'd ever seen.

"Simon?" she asked.

"Y-yes?" he replied, in a daze. Their eyes were locked, so close together.

"Uh, I'm at the bottom of the page, could you-"

"Oh! Uh, sure" he scrolled down quickly. Their glasses clinked together as she continued reading.

He let out a deep breath he'd been holding whilst she was looking at him. He bit his lip. He could have kept his cool a little better, and not stumbled over his words. He hated it when he did that. Why couldn't he just get a normal sentence out when he was talking to her?

He jumped a little when she suddenly said "I'm finished! It looks great, I think we'll get a good mark"

He let out a nervous chuckle "Y-Yeah"

"Sorry" she giggled "Did I scare you?"

Simon chuckled again, "Yeah, a little bit"

"Sorry"

"That's alright. I shouldn't get scared that easily, anyways" he laughed a little.

He turned his attention to his fingers, fiddling with them nervously.

"So..." she said, trying to keep the conversation going "How have you been?"

He looked at her "I've been alright. W-what about you?"

"Good" she said, nodding.

"What d-do you think Alvin and Brittany are doing?" he said, looking away from her and at his laptop so he didn't feel so nervous.

"Dancing" she replied, plainly "I'm a little worried about them both, to be honest..."

"What do you mean?" he asked, feeling curious.

"Well, I don't know... I just feel like, because of Chase, their friendship is... Wearing out, I suppose" she adjusted her glasses, and shrugged.

"I guess you're right" he sighed "I honestly thought they'd end up together someday... But the way things are going, that image is getting further and further away"

She nodded "Yeah, you're right. They're so perfect together, but they don't seem to see it"

There was a short pause.

Simon laughed "What about Theo and Ellie? Do you think anything is ever going to happen with them?"

Jeanette smiled "I don't know, probably in the future. Definitely not now, that'd be awkward"

"W-what about... Us?"

Alvin's head was still swirling when he felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Brittany.

'What does she want?'

"Alvin, come on, we have to go now. It's 10" she said, looking at Amelia "Oh... Hi, you must be-"

"-Amelia. Yeah, nice to meet you" said Amelia, with a smile.

"Uh... You too" she grabbed Alvin's arm "Come on, Dave will be here any minute to pick us up"

"Huh?" Alvin said, still feeling a little out of it "Oh, okay... B-bye Amelia" he managed to say, before Brittany dragged him into the crowd.

Alvin gulped in the fresh air once they were outside. It had been so stuffy in there, and the cool night atmosphere seemed to clear some of the fog that lingered in his head.

"You alright?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah" he said, not making eye contact "Just a long night, that's all"

She nodded, "So... Do you think anything will happen with you and Amelia?"

Alvin was snapped out of his thoughts, he coughed a little out of pure surprise, and cleared his throat "I don't know! I mean, uh... I don't know..."

She smirked at him "Ah, okay... If you say so"

'I think he likes her...' she thought, with a slight smile.

It was at that very moment that Dave pulled up "Dave's here!" Alvin said, trying to patch up some of the awkwardness of that conversation.

Dave smiled at them, and waved them over. Alvin sat in the left side of the back row of seats, and Brittany sat in the right. It was the awkward space in the middle seat that kept them apart for the car ride home.

"How'd it go?" Dave asked.

"Good!" Brittany said, with a smile.

"It was alright, I guess" Alvin said, eyes out the window.

Dave looked at him through the rear-view mirror, a little concerned 'He'll be alright...' Dave thought. He didn't want to say anything in risk of making his son uncomfortable. The rest of the ride home was silent.

Alvin rested his head on the cold glass of the window, and let out a sigh. His breath fogged up the glass a little bit, and he wiped it away with his sleeve so he could stare at the stars. The stars confused him. There were so many of them, up in the deep blue sky. How could there even be that many stars? It was almost impossible that there were so many of one thing... And they were all so beautiful, he couldn't help but think about the sparkle in Brittany's icy-blue eyes when he looked at them.

Brittany watched Alvin. He looked so sad. But why?

She couldn't help but wonder 'Did he see Chase kiss me?' she was concerned about what his reaction would have been, if he did see it. She frowned at him. What had come over him over the past week? He'd been acting really strange, and he was actually starting to get on her nerves. It concerned her.

Simon opened and closed his mouth like a fish out of water. Had Jeanette really just asked that question? How could she even ask that question? What the hell was he going to reply with?

Their bedroom door burst open. Alvin stood in the doorway.

Simon jumped, a little relieved about the distraction "H-h-how was prom?" he asked, turning away from Jeanette. He was shaking a little.

Alvin stomped his way over to the boys triple bunk, where Jeanette and Simon sat.

"Chase kissed Brittany!" he said, bringing an angry fist down onto the mattress, much to the surprise of Jeanette and Simon.

"O-Oh... That's not good" Jeanette managed to get a few words out.

"No, it's not!" he said, turning and facing the wall, pressing his forehead against it with a thud.

Simon had never ever seen Alvin acting like this over a girl, especially Brittany. This was getting serious.

'This isn't Alvin... This can't be my brother. What's wrong with him?' Simon thought, face soft with worry.

Alvin let out a big sigh, and turned around. He slid down the wall and landed on the floor, his head on his knee's, looking at ground "How could she do this?" he said, his voice quiet and hoarse, almost a whisper.

"I-I don't know Alvin" Simon said, he got up and sat next to Alvin on the floor, patting him on the shoulder.

He turned to Jeanette. What do I say? he silently mouthed to her. She shrugged and shook her head. It was at that moment the door opened again. Brittany, Eleanor and Theodore stood in the doorway.

Alvin's head shot upward, and he stood up and glared and Brittany. He climbed up onto his bed, on the very top level of the triple bunk. The room was dead silent.

That was the last they heard of Alvin all night.

So, what did you think?

Let me know with a review.

Thanks for reading :)
