High School Drama
Ch 7
"More Tough Times"
Monday morning Brittany ran to the bulletin board leaving Alvin by his friends. Amanda saw her hand wrapped in a bandage.
"What happened to your hand? I can see it didn't go to well with Alvin."
Brittany smiled slyly.
"What makes you say that? Oh because I left him over there by his locker? Don't underestimate our relationship. We worked it out, and are still on good terms. As for the bandage Tammy slashed my hand. I'll be fine; let's go see if we made 1st cuts?"
All 3 girls approached the board and looked for their names. Brittany found hers and smiled. Then Amanda found hers but Miranda didn't see hers and just stormed off. Amanda looked at Brittany.
"Britt why didn't my sister make the cut? I mean she's just as talented as we are. It's just not fair. Where did you see her mess up?"
Brittany shrugged and saw the coach and asked.
"Coach Mars why didn't Miranda make the 1st cut? I mean she stayed in step with Amanda me. I just don't understand."
Coach Mars sighed and responded.
"Ms. Miller one of our head varsity cheerleaders saw her smoking pot! We can't have someone on our squad involved in illegal drugs."
Brittany shook her head.
"Ok Coach Mars I understand. See you at the final cuts next Friday. We might have only 2 girls in our group because Miranda is the 3rd member. I can have her drop off some paper work from her drug abuse classes if that will help her make the 1st cuts? I mean she is a very good cheerleader and has been getting help for that. "
Coach Mars smiled.
"Ok under one condition though. She has to bring me the proof by Wednesday afternoon that's he is sober and not involved anymore. If not I'm afraid there will be nothing I can do for her. I know she's as talented as you and Amanda but also have to make sure she isn't breaking any rules. Ok Ms. Miller."
She smiled and nodded her head.
"Yes Coach I'll make sure she does show you the proof by Wednesday afternoon. Thank you again for listening to me."
Then she ran to where Alvin waited for her.
"Sorry bout that Alvie. Amanda and I made 1st cut but Miranda didn't. In order for her to make 1st cut she has to prove she's not into illegal drugs. See one of the varsity cheerleaders saw her smoking and told the coach, but I could've sworn she was taking classes."
Miranda chimed in.
"Yea I am; ok no problem tomorrow morning I'll take the papers to Coach Mars to prove to her I don't smoke anymore. Cheerleading is my life I have to make the squad or I'll go ballistic!"
Tammy laughed and stared.
"Whatever you can try out all you want but I guarantee none of you will make it! Especially you with that lame hand!!"
Brittany glared.
"Oh really? We'll just see about that at final cuts Tammy! Yea thanks to you my hand is bandaged you little ooh!!"
Alvin grabbed her.
"Britt let it go; come on we have to get to class. Brittany!!"
She took his left hand and they walked to 1st hour together while Tammy's face turned red and she slammed her locker on Samantha's hand.
"Ow Tammy will you watch it? I need that hand to write you know! Will you just give up on Alvin already? He is in love with Brittany and nothing you say or do will change that! Now enough of this garbage you are psychotic I swear!"
Tammy glared.
"Oh psychotic am I? We'll see how psychotic I am when my knife pierces that chipmunk's stomach because of his stuck up girl doesn't seem to take me serious! Right after school you'll see what happens to him if Brittany doesn't dump him!"
Rhonda gulped and stared at Samantha.
"Is she serious? She'll attack Alvin if Brittany doesn't dump him? Oh no we have to tell him. Sam are you listening to me; hello!"
Samantha shook her head.
"Are you nuts? There is no way he'll listen to me; he hates me! Then I'll get beat up by Brittany again; no thank you! Fine then you tell him and see how he reacts or how fast Brittany hurts you! Remember Alvin is her property or something like that!"
Jeanette overheard and ran after Alvin knocking him over. He looked and yelled.
"Jean what are you trying to do; kill me? What is it?"
She helped him up and apologized.
"I'm sorry Alvin, but Tammy is going to go after you if Brittany doesn't dump you. She's obsessed beyond limits and is going to hurt you. What are we going to do? If you get hurt then it'll suck you have football practice this Friday coming up."
Brittany crossed her eyes.
"We'll see if she even attempts to hurt him. Let her try and attack him and watch how fast I hospitalize her! Now she's threatening Alvin; we have a major problem on our hands! Alvin are you listening to a word I'm saying? Hello!"
He smiled slyly.
"Hmm I have an idea; we can make a scene like we got into a major fight and broke up. Then we'll see what she does."
Brittany glared.
"Oh no way in hell is I going to pretend we broke up to satisfy that little bitch! #1 it'll never work we're too close! Alvin it's not worth it! I can handle her; you worry too much!"
He looked and responded.
"I'm your man that's what I do get use to it! Besides she already slashed your hand. How the hell are you going to fight? You need two hands to fight Britt! Besides we both know she's a psycho path! Brittany it's too dangerous for you to be around her and you know I'm right! If you fight her then you'll end up in the hospital and I'll be lost! What about final cuts? Did you forget about that too? Britt it's the only way we'll both be safe. You have to trust me on this one!"
She shook her head.
"No way; if we do that then she'll move in on you and I will not have it! I tried too long to get with you and am not about to lose you over some psychotic bitch obsessed with you! I'm sorry Alvin not this time! Its way too dangerous; we're talking about a pocket knife not a plastic toy! We'll just see what happens after school Alvin enough I said drop it! I'm not going to stage a fight and break up with you to satisfy her! I love you and will die for you if I have to!"
Alvin shook his head.
"Jean will you knock some sense into that head of your sister's? She is so thick headed I swear! I seen what she'll do to Brittany and will not stand there and watch my woman get killed because of me! I just can't do this anymore!"
Simon yelled.
"Do what? Alvin don't you even think straight? It took you too long to land Brittany in your arms and you're willing to lose it because of some stupid obsessed groupie is threatening you and her? That's not the Alvin I know; to just give up because of some stupid groupie! You and Brittany are in love nothing should get between that fact bro! Nothing should get between you two; you're meant to be together and you know I'm right!"
Alvin sighed.
"Ok you made your point Simon. Let's get to class then. Brittany come on I'm sorry. I'm just afraid she'll hurt you worse than she has already!"
Brittany grabbed his waist and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I know you are but it's worth it to have a fine looking chipmunk like yourself all to me! I love you Alvin and will not let some wannabe get between us no matter how tough she may think she is!"
He grabbed her hands around his waist and they headed to class. He took both their homework to the teacher's desk and took his seat in front of Brittany. Then he took out his pen and copied the notes from the board. In the meantime Tammy took her seat next to him and stared into his sky blue eyes! Brittany glared and broke her pen getting the ink all over her blouse and on Alvin's back."
He felt the ink on his back and shook his head.
"Here Britt use one of mine and don't break it! Will you just calm down already! Consider yourself lucky I have a dark shirt on or I'd kill you! What the hell are you looking at Tammy! Turn around and stop looking over here! You caused enough already! Let's get something straight! I am in love with Brittany and you will not have a chance with me now enough! Now turn around! Before I change my seat just to get away from you! If you do try and attack me you'll be sorry you ever messed with me kabish! Now cut the drama!!"
He put his head back down and did his class work in silence. Brittany sighed with relief and also did her class work in silence. When she finished hers she waited for him to finish and took out a book to read. He finally finished his class work and she took his assignment up to the teacher's desk. On her way back to her desk Tammy tripped her and made her hit the floor hard. Then the teacher yelled.
"Tamara report to the principal's office right this minute young lady! Brittany are you alright? Alvin take her to the nurse's office her mouth is bleeding! Here is the hall pass!"
He took the hall pass and escorted Brittany to the nurse's office. Then he waited in the waiting area and buried his head in his hands. The nurse came out.
"Oh Alvin she's going to be fine. I'm just going to let her lay down for a bit until the bleeding stops!"
He shook his head.
"Nurse Combs Let me call her step mother so I can take her home. My father gave me his car today so I can drive her home. She should really go home and rest. I'll be back I promise."
She smiled and responded.
"Let me call her stepmother and tell her Alvin. Just make sure you come back to school."
He sighed.
"Yes I know Nurse Combs. I will I promise. Then I'll take her homework to her house after school."
After she called Ms. Miller. Alvin took Brittany out to his car and opened the passenger side of his car. Then they drove toward Ms. Miller's house. He pulled up and Ms. Miller let them in.
"Alvin dear what happened? Brittany go upstairs and lay down. "
She threw her book bag on the couch and stormed upstairs to her room. Then she changed out of her school clothes and got in her pajamas. She pulled her bed down and lay down. After Alvin told Ms. Miller what happened to Brittany he ran up to her room and knocked on the door.
"Britt can I come in?"
Then he remembered she couldn't really speak. He opened her door and sat on the edge of her bed stroking her forehead gently.
"Sorry about all this Britt!"
