High School Drama
Ch 2
"Trying Times"
Monday morning Alvin heard his alarm go off and turned it off. He got up and entered his shower. Then he thought about everything they went through in middle school, at camp and was wondering what he was about to face in High School. He thought about whet would happen with him and Brittany when all the fans see him come in the school. Then he sighed and dried off. When he was all dried he got dressed and tied his high tops then he brushed his hair while he looked in the mirror. Then he put his cap on and grabbed his cell off the charger when he finished fixing his bed. He heard Dave yelling.
"Alvin will you get up? I know how much you hate school but you also need an education. Alvin I said get up. Don't make me go up there and get you up I mean it young man. Boys eat your breakfast while I go drag your brother out of bed. "
At that both his brothers laughed. Simon stared.
"Oh I guess Alvin even gets in trouble on the 1st day of school."
Alvin descended from the stairs and glared at Simon.
"Oh really I was in the bathroom genius! Don't start on me so early in the morning I'll pound you clear into the ground."
Dave glared.
"Oh no you won't; I will ground you Alvin. Now eat your breakfast; the bus comes at 6:35AM. Boys I said eat your breakfast and stop fighting ALVIN!!"
He looked.
"Oh I can't believe this; Simon starts and I get yelled at? Shut up Simon before I shut you up permanently. Oh nice day to start my day getting yelled at for something I didn't do! Ooh I hate being the eldest! "
He ate his breakfast in silence and stared at Simon.
"Ok now what are you looking me for?"
He laughed.
"Oh nothing Alvin just wondering how many fights you'll get into with Brittany with all the flirting. Now we both know you will not be able to resist flirting with all those hot girls in our High School. We're talking freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Then again no one really knows if you two will last because you don't know how to act like a boyfriend like I do."
Theodore stared and started to laugh.
"Run that by us again. Oh you are way out of line now. Alvin does know how to act like a boyfriend more than you ever will. Your idea of a date is studying. At least he takes Brittany out; face it Simon you're boring!"
Alvin laughed at Simon's face and hi 5ed Theo.
"Nice one Teddy. Another thing Simon exactly how are you going to resist flirting with all those hot girls? Well you didn't think like that did you? You're just as much a flirt as I am so don't even play innocent."
Simon stared when Dave exited then kitchen to get the paper.
"Well at least I know how to satisfy my mate unlike you Mr. Scaredy cat! You had so many opportunities to give her what she wanted and never went through with it. At least when mine wants it I give it to her and don't come up with a lame excuse like you Mr. Hot Shot!"
Theodore rang in again.
"Yea we know that; because that's all you seem to do with your mate. But you still have no right to start on him like that. How do you know you'll last with Jeanette? None of us know if we'll last with the girls so stop singling Alvin out like that. We will all have problems when we get to High School and you can't act like you're immune from relationship problems. Come on you 2 we have to get our bus. Bye Dave love you see you after school."
Alvin looked.
"Hey wait a minute I'm the eldest since when do you boss me around Teddy? Oh Teddy you're forgetting you book bag and your cell. We have to brush our teeth you know?"
They all ran to their rooms and brushed their teeth. Then they all grabbed their book bags and walked to the bus stop. Alvin leaned against the pole and sighed as he waited for the bus to pull up. The bus came and they handed the bus driver their bus passes. Then they all sat down in a seat and stared out of the window. Alvin sat in the back and leaned against the window with it open and talked to Tyler across from him.
"Yo Tyler so wuz with you and Miranda? Neither of you have talked to one another since we got home from the mall yesterday. Actually you didn't talk at the mall either. What's the deal? Isn't that her ring tone; why aren't you answering?"
Tyler sighed as he responded.
"Well it's like this; we were supposed to go out for dinner on Saturday night right? She calls me at 3:30pm in the afternoon to cancel our date right cause she claimed she had something important to do with her sister. So what happened is I told her I fully understood and we'd talk on Sunday because we had to go school shopping. So then around 5:30pm her sister called me looking for her; because she told Amanda she was at my house. So now you tell me where the hell she was if her own sister couldn't find her. It don't make any sense bro at all! So I got pissed off and avoided her all day yesterday and am not talking to her cause she lied to me. Mind you bro she was sleeping over your girl's house rehearsing their routine for cheerleading practice. So now you tell me where she disappeared to?"
Alvin shrugged.
"I have no idea; but you should try and talk to her Tyler she is your girl you know. Speaking of girls theirs mine and yours right behind her."
Brittany got on the bus and said hi to his brothers and Bobby. Then she made her way back to Alvin's seat and sat next to him. He sat down and smiled at her.
"Good morning Brittany. So how's the routine going for cheerleading tryouts? Anything good yet or you still working on it?"
She sighed.
"Still working on it. It's so hard to come up with a routine suitable for High School. I mean face it Alvin they actually dance on the High School squads. In Middle school we only cheered. It's hopeless and besides Amanda called her sister's cell all day Saturday and she didn't answer. So then she called Tyler and he said that Miranda called off their date because she had something to do with Amanda. When Mandy was at my house trying to help me come up with a routine for tryouts."
Alvin smiled.
"No it's not; Brittany you're a very good cheerleader and can run circles round those girls at the tryouts. Just put your mind to it sweetie; I mean you spend your life in the spotlight and definitely know how to move no doubt bout that. Just use some of your moves and work it into a cheer and you'll do fine. Remember you were the cheerleading captain from 6th to 8th grade in middle school."
She smiled and laughed.
"You're just saying that because you're my man. You know how strict they are when it comes to High School cheerleaders. It's just so stressful; you think you have a routine and then you find out it doesn't go with the music…"
He looked and stared.
"Then make up a mix of your own and put the moves to it then come up with the cheer. Brittany you'll come up with a good routine and might just take out the current captain of the JV squad. Just keep on working on it you'll get it. Besides we all know that Mandy was your co captain in middle school."
She looked at him and smiled.
"Oh Alvin can you make up the mix for us? You're so good at that sort of thing? Please it would mean so much to us and especially me."
He smiled and nodded.
"Sure no problem; just tell me what kind of mix you want and I'll put it together for you."
She hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you so much."
He smiled and responded.
"You're welcome Brittany. When are tryouts anyway?"
She sighed and showed him the flyer.He looked at it and stared.
"Ok this Friday afternoon at 3:30pm. We'll start working on it right after school today. Make sure Amanda comes with you so we can all work on this together. Besides I'll probably be watching the tryouts to give you my support. Besides football tryouts are on Thursday; Tyler suggested I should try out for the JV team but I told him he's crazy. I mean let's face it I'm a chipmunk and they'll crush me."
Brittany smiled.
"No not necessarily you're pretty muscular for a 13 year old. You should try out it won't kill you. I mean Tyler and Bobby are both trying out and I'll be there to support you along with my sisters and your brothers. Please try out for me?"
He smiled and nodded.
"Ok fine I'll try out but I doubt I'll make it. I'm pretty small compared to the 9th and 10th graders at our school. Come on sweetie we're at school. Here comes the drama; please try not to get angry. We have to report to our homeroom so we can get our schedules and the day begins. "
She got up and he followed behind her. Then when they got off the bus he grabbed her hand and joined his brothers, her sisters, his friends and her friends too. They entered the school and the girls ran at the boys screaming for autographs. Brittany sighed and looked at her sisters.
"Here we go ladies. Let's move before we get trampled. This is going to be a long school year I'll tell you!"
Her sisters stood by his brothers and she stayed on the side waiting by her locker. Alvin yelled.
"Alright ladies calm down already! I'm still Alvin Seville but no longer single so slow it down with the hugs will you? I'll sign your autographs just calm down already. Brittany can you get over here please?Brittany hello are you listening to me?"
She made her way through the girls and they all glared. She glared back.
"Let me through that's my man you'll are smothering now let me through now! I said move and let me pass!"
Samantha laughed.
"Oh yea Brittany Miller the biggest slut in Edison High School with Alvin Seville the play boy of the chipmunks! Oh she won't mind just go all over him she will not care believe me she screwed other guys and of course…."
Amanda punched her out.
"Don't talk about my best friend like that you little blonde bitch! You're just jealous because Brittany is with Alvin for two years and you couldn't even last 3 months! So why don't you go somewhere and stop looking for trouble; before I give you trouble! Go on Rhonda say something I'll punch you also! Go on try me or Brittany and watch how fast that lip of yours gets split!"
Bobby ran and grabbed Amanda.
"Whoa girl down now! Please don't get suspended on the 1st day of High School Amanda let her go! I said let her go now!"
Alvin glared and stared.
"Brittany don't you dare listen to that trash talking blonde bitch! Will you please get over here! Brittany!"
She ran off crying and Alvin ran away from the girls after her. He grabbed her and stared into her eyes. Then he wiped the tears from her eyes and brushed her hair from her face. Then he lifted up her chin and put his hands by her cheeks and leaned into kiss her. She smiled and their lips met as he kissed her up against the locker. She embraced him tightly and their lips met. They broke apart and he smiled.
"Do you feel better now? Here wipe those tears your eye shadow is running. "
She wiped the tears and smiled.
"Yes I do feel better now. Thank you Alvin. I think we'll be just fine, but not sure about your brother Simon and my sister Jean. She just smacked him. What the hell did we miss? So the drama begins! Should I go see what your brother did to piss off my sister or just leave it alone. Oh No Alvin the girls again. That's it I'm holding your waist while you sign autographs. Now those groupies are getting on my nerves!"
He shrugged.
"It's fine with me you're my girl. I don't mind at all."
They all ran toward him and he signed autographs while Brittany held his waist tightly resting her head on his shoulder. Simon's face turned red and he ran after Jeanette.
"Ladies get off of me I have to go get my girl. I said leave me alone!"
He ran after Jeanette and saw her crying on the stairs outside. He put his hand on her shoulder and she pushed it off.
"Let go of me Simon! Don't touch me right now I'm angry at you! How could you kiss one of your fans with me standing right there? Good I'm glad your face is stinging you two timing insensitive rock star! Just leave me alone! Go back to your damn fans I'm going to the library! Leave me alone!"
She ran back into the school and into the library. Brittany sighed with relief after the fans left Alvin alone. Then she looked.
"Oh no; Alvin I'll be right back. Jean is really upset I have to see what happened. Go on sign your fans' autographs just watch your back!"
A few more approached him and he signed their autographs and smiled at them.
"One at a time ladies. I'll sign all your autographs just don't try and kiss me."
He signed them one at a time and Theodore walked toward him with Eleanor .
"Alvin can you believe him? He kissed one of our fans right in front of Jeanette and didn't seem to car that she was there. But it was funny when her hand went across his mouth! What about you; how is everything with Brittany?"
He sighed when the warning bell rang.
"Fine; she got a little upset because of my stupid ex had to start. She ran away and I went after her to calm her down and she's fine now. She ran after Jean to see what happened when she smacked Simon over there. That was some picture damn too bad I didn't have my cell out! Come on people the last thing we need is to be late on the 1st day of High School! Simon let's go now; we have to be in 1st hour in less than 15 seconds!"
All 6 of them ran to their class and made it in just as the bell rang. Alvin sighed with relief and opened his notebook after Brittany took her seat next to him and did the same.
"Good morning class I'm Ms Harvey and will be your English I teacher. In my class you will be reading novels and I expect all my students to participate in my class. We will be reading plays and also reading some of them out loud. Each quarter I will expect a hand written or typed essay no less than 500 words!"
Alvin's mouth dropped and he shook his head turning to Brittany.
"500 words are you serious? And reading novels ok my life is officially over! Oh joy more to add to my already busy schedule! Oh man!"
Brittany laughed as the teacher stared trying to signal him to shut his mouth.
"Do you have a problem Mr. Seville? If you do then I'll be more than glad to escort you to the Principal's office! No talking while I'm explaining understood! We're not children anymore we are now teenagers! Now pay attention Seville!"
Simon laughed and Alvin glared. Then Simon gulped and Theodore also started to laugh. Until the teacher glared dead at him too! He looked up and gulped and Eleanor bopped him.
"Theo pay attention laugh at Simon after class!"
The teacher wrote the supplies on the board and Alvin copied them down. After they wrote their supplies down she gave them their English books and gave them their first assignment. He looked down at his book and wrote his name in it. Then he pulled out his note book paper and started his class work. Brittany tapped him and he looked up.
"Alvin you have no lead in your pencil. You're not writing anything."
He stared at her.
"I'm using a pen Brittany. You're the one who isn't writing anything look down."
She looked down and rippled her nose. Then she went in her book bag and pulled out a pen and also started her assignment. Ms. Harvey walked over.
"Ms. Miller we do not copy other people's work. Now stop looking at Seville's paper or I will move your seat. Now young lady!"
Samantha raised her hand.
"Oh Ms. Harvey they shouldn't be seated next to one another he's her boyfriend and that's all they do is talk."
He clenched his fist and stared at the teacher looking at him.
"Ms. Harvey she's my English tutor that's why she's sitting next to me."
She walked away and Samantha crossed her arms by her chest and Jeanette looked.
"What's the matter mad cause you failed in making my sister move her seat. Well tough rocks that's just life."
Ms Harvey looked at Jeanette.
"Ms Miller no talking now get back to work before you get an F for the day. You have something to say Mr. Seville?"
Simon looked up.
"Who me? I'm not saying anything. I was trying to get another pen; mine ran out of ink. "
Theodore looked at Alvin and laughed to himself. Alvin also looked at his brother's face and went back to his work also laughing to himself. Brittany just looked up and shook her head. Then she finished her assignment and was getting up to take it to the desk. Alvin finished his next and handed it to her.
"Can you take my assignment to the desk so I don't get accused of not doing my assignment like usual?"
She laughed and took his assignment putting it under hers. Then she walked back down the aisle and smiled at him. She sat back down and felt a paper thrown at her. She looked at it and ripped it up into pieces glaring dead at Samantha while she laughed with Rhonda. Simon got angry and raised his hand.
"Oh Ms. Harvey two students are copying one another's work."
She walked over to both the girls' desks and put a big F on their papers.
"I don't put up with cheaters. Ms. Mendes, and Ms. Martes report to the principal's office now! Since you're amused by interrupting my class. Move it you 2."
They grabbed their book bags and exited the class.
