High School Drama
Ch 15
"Winter Break pt3"
Saturday Brittany went to the mall with her two best friends Amanda and Miranda. She went to so many stores and just couldn't seem to find anything for Alvin 's Christmas present. Miranda and Amanda got their boyfriends something and Brittany sat and buried her head in her hands as she shook her head.
"It's hopeless I'm just giving up. There's nothing here Alvin would like. What am I going to do?"
Amanda looked.
"Why not buy yourself some sexy lingerie and put it on and give yourself to him for Christmas he'll be so thankful since after almost 3 years you two still haven't. I think his patience is wearing thin. I mean he is a guy Britt; if you don't give it up soon he'll find someone else and you know I'm right."
She looked at her and shook her head.
"Is that all you think about? This is Alvin we're talking about Mandy not your man Bobby! He will not only kill me but we'll get into an awful fight because of it! I am not about to get in a fight with my man on Christmas because I pulled a stunt like that."
Amanda stared and shook her head.
"It's a shame how clue less you really are? Don't sit there and tell me he isn't trying to pressure you? Britt he's a teenager and has his wants. Besides how do you know he'll get mad; have you ever tried it before? I did that last year and not only did he thank me but we made love right by his fireplace underneath his Christmas tree! "
Brittany stared.
"Alvin is not Bobby, and has way more respect for me to do such a thing. Thanks but no thanks."
They entered Victoria's secret and Brittany watched as her two best friends looked for something desperately to turn their men on. They asked her for her opinion as they tried on various lingerie sets.
"Do you think this will get through to Tyler what I want from him? I just can't wait anymore every time I bring it up he yells at me and we get into a huge fight. Then either he storms out of my room or I storm out of his. "
Brittany sighed.
"If you would stop pressuring him then maybe he'll surprise you and give you what you long for. Wearing that might just get him angry and you two might fight? I mean it's nice but I have no idea how Tyler is when it comes to that sort of thing. I mean with Alvin it's totally different. Usually when we make out on his bed or mine I end up in my lingerie and nothing else really happens. So you're asking the wrong person about that."
She looked around the store and also picked out a nice lingerie set. Then she watched as Amanda tried on so many pieces of lingerie and asked.
"What's the matter lost your touch? Since when do you need lingerie to turn Bobby on? Mandy why are you trying those things on? Don't you know how to get him in the mood? I mean all you used to talk about was how many times you two made love and give us details? Why the sudden change?"
She sighed.
"I don't know it's like he just isn't interested any more. I try every way I can to get us back at the level we were at until he got involved in those drugs. Then ever since he's been going for counseling he just rejects me and I wonder why. He tells me he's not rejecting me but he really is! I just don't know anymore Britt! Maybe he's planning on breaking up with me on Christmas and I'll have no one to turn to. You'll be with Alvin, your sisters, his brothers, and of course Ms. Miller and Dave. My sister will be with Tyler so I'll just be heart broken and in tears on Christmas day."
Brittany looked.
"No you won't. Maybe you should stop trying to get him in the mood. Did you ever think that maybe he thinks you just want to have sex and that you don't really love him anymore? Maybe you should think about it!"
Amanda sighed and then she finally chose a set and went to pay for it. They headed To Dillard's and Brittany still looked around trying to figure out what to get Alvin for Christmas this year. She bought him a cologne set and paid for it. Then they went to a few more stores and she looked around still not liking anything to get him. Miranda looked in the jewelry case and something caught her eye. She pulled on Brittany's purse.
"Britt come here I think I found something that Alvin would absolutely love. Is his ear pierced?"
She shook her head.
"Umm no he doesn't have an earring or a tattoo. Miranda come on now this is not a laughing matter. I'm serious he doesn't have any of those things that I know of anyway. Oh wait a minute let me call him and ask. I'll be right back."
She ran out of the store and dialed Alvin's cell. In his room Alvin recognized Brittany's ring tone and reached over to his night stand and answered in a tired tone
'Britt what is it? It's not even 10:30am yet; why are you calling me? I was asleep you know.'
She apologized.
'Yea I know I'm so sorry but was wondering if you had your ear pierced? I mean Miranda claims you do but I haven't realized it if you do. I'm at the mall shopping with Mandy and Miranda.'
He yawned.
'Yea my left ear is pierced. Why are you asking me that? You can't tell because right now I have a diamond stud in my ear cause it was only done 3 months ago and I have to wear it for 3 more months. By our anniversary I'll be wearing a real earring in it. Why; what are you up to?'
She sighed.
'Oh nothing I was just curious I guess. I thought it was but wasn't really sure that's why I asked you. Oh while I have you on the phone has Bobby talked to you about his relationship with Mandy? I mean she was trying on lingerie for like an hour today cause she can't seem to turn him on anymore.'
He yawned again.
'Yea he has been talking about it and doesn't think she loves him anymore and just wants to get some every time they're alone. That's why they have been fighting lately. If she keeps it up she will lose him and that's straight from his mouth. You better talk to her and tell her what I just told you. He's about had it with her and I don't blame him either. Come on Britt we're together nearly 3 years and you are not like that at all and they're not even together that long after they broke up at the beginning of the year. She needs to realize there's more to a relationship then getting laid every time they're alone. Do you want me to pick you ladies up at the mall later on or is Ms. Miller getting you 3?'
She thought for a minute.
'You can get us if you want to, but I'll call you when we're ready to leave. So I guess an earring for your ear is out of the question for Christmas right? '
He yawned again.
'Yea definitely out of the question babe. You really don't have to get me anything I have you don't I?'
She smiled and responded.
'Yea you do but still it won't be right…..I mean I'm your girl and have to get you something since you're my man. Alvin go back to sleep I'll call you when we're ready to leave I promise. Love you Alvin see you later Brittany out.'
He smiled.
'Ok Britt love you to see you later Alvin out .'
He hung up his cell and went back to sleep putting his comforter over his face with the sun shining in the window. Theodore walked over to him.
"Alvin get up it's after 10AM. What are you going to sleep all day?"
He pulled off his comforter and glared.
"I'm tired Theo get me up at 12. I'm exhausted from our concert last night and have a pounding headache please just let me sleep for an hour and a half. Theo I mean it 12."
He sighed.
"But Alvin Simon and I are going shopping for the girls. Don't you want to come? Aren't you getting Brittany something for Christmas or are you just not in the Christmas Spirit?"
He looked up.
"What makes you say that? Of course I'm in the Christmas Spirit but I'm really tired right now. Can't we go later like after 12? Besides Brittany is at the mall with her friends right now. I don't want her to think I'm trying to find out what she's getting me and I offered to pick them up when they're done shopping. Tell Simon to take my car and make sure he fills my tank or I'll pound him! Not too long Theo I need my car to get them at the mall. I already got Brittany a present a week ago. It's in my drawer. See you in a bit. Will you please close my blinds I'm trying to sleep here."
Alvin threw Theodore his car keys and put his comforter over his head as he drifted back off to sleep after Theodore closed his blinds. Then Theodore headed downstairs and handed Simon the car keys.
"He's asleep and doesn't want to come. He said he got Brittany something already but I highly doubt it! Another year with him being selfish it just never fails!"
Simon looked.
"Huh what makes you say that? He is tired Theodore why can't you just let the guy sleep? Last night was a long night for him and he had a sore throat when he came in so we should let him sleep before he ends up having laryngitis for Christmas. Come on then let's get moving shall we? "
Theodore finished the dishes and followed Simon out to Alvin's car. They pulled out and Simon drove toward the store carefully.
"What are we getting them this year? They have chokers with our initials already and Jenny's is breaking. I'm probably going to get her a necklace with my name or maybe a pair of earrings with her name. Oh no it's Samantha running her mouth again. Come on then let's try to avoid her."
He parked Alvin's car and put the alarm on and then him and Theodore threw their leather jackets on and entered the store with their shades on. Samantha spotted Simon.
"Nice disguise Simon. What brings you here anyway? Oh and where's Alvin?"
Theodore stared.
"We're here to get our girls' something for Christmas what do you think? Why do you care where Alvin is anyway? Hello you two broke up over 2 years ago and he's with Brittany. What are you doing here if I may ask."
She sighed.
"Buying Christmas presents duh! Nice boyfriend he is doesn't even buy his girl a dam thing just like when we went together! He's so conceited it's pathetic and Brittany will end up getting hurt just like I did."
Simon laughed.
"You got hurt because you cheated on him and got busted no other reason Samantha. It's awfully funny when you went with him you loved every minute and now that he dumped you and finally came to his senses and found someone better all you do is trash talk him! Are you that jealous that it amuses you to bad mouth my brother well? What happened to your 10th grade love machine that is so much better than Alvin? Well; where's he?"
Johnny appeared.
"Right here nerd boy! She is right your brother is conceited and is not only with Brittany. He's been with other girls not just Ms. Stuck up sluttish bitch you know! A guy like him doesn't get a name like the bad boy if he's as innocent as he claims. So you need to cut the charades and stop putting your foot in your mouth! We all know Brittany is a slut and has slept with the whole basketball team behind Alvin's back all except him anyway? Just as he slept with more girls than I have and just won't admit it!"
Theodore looked.
"Oh really if it's so true then why don't you tell it to Alvin in his face then behind his back Johnny! What's the matter afraid of a chipmunk in a lower grade than you? Well if you think you know so much about our brother then why don't you confront him in school come Monday morning? Then I'd like to see what you say when he's right there in your face! Oh whatever I have no time for your petty garbage I have a present to buy! Bye Johnny!"
Johnny wrinkled his nose.
"Ok fine them Monday morning I will confront Mr. Innocent and then we'll see what Brittany has to say? We'll see exactly how innocent Alvin the bad boy really is won't we?"
Simon looked.
"Theo what are you doing? Alvin is going to get suspended because he'll beat his ass for talking trash about him like that especially in front of Brittany! What have you done? Now exactly how are we going to tell Alvin this well?"
Theodore looked.
"Uh oh I made a mistake didn't I? Alvin will blow if we tell him this! How bout we don't tell Alvin and see if Johnny really does confront him?"
Simon shook his head.
"That glass of yours is always half full isn't it? He's our brother we have to tell him since you caused it instead of just walking away like I did! If he pounds us I'm going to pound you after he finishes with us! Do I make myself clear? Now let's get away from them and do our shopping! Keep your big mouth shut Theodore!"
They bought the presents for the girls and Simon drove back toward the house. When they got in Alvin was on the couch watching TV. He looked up and saw Simon's face.
"Ok what did I miss? Simon are you going to answer me? What happened at the store and why are you two sneaking in?"
Simon wrapped Jeanette's present and responded.
"Umm Theo said something and now you might end up getting suspended during umm exams."
Alvin's eye brows went up.
"Umm why would I get suspended? What did he say? Theodore what did you say?"
Theodore gulped as he kept his distance from Alvin staring with his arms crossed by his chest.
"Well I overheard Johnny trash talking you and confronted him. I told him if it's so true then why doesn't he confront you and tell it to your face instead of behind your back. He said he would and I didn't realize how he's set you off when he does with Brittany right there next to you or in your arms."
Alvin's eyes slanted in anger.
"Confront me about what exactly with Brittany right there? Theodore answer me or I swear you'll get pounded now answer me!"
Simon got in front of Theodore.
"Oh about you and the name bad boy! Johnny said you slept with more girls than he did and you'll never admit it! Then he also called Brittany a slut and said she slept with the whole basketball team except you! He also said you aren't just with Brittany and will hurt her like you hurt Samantha."
He shook his head.
"I didn't sleep with any other girl than my girl and am not seeing anyone behind her back! I love Brittany and would never hurt her like that! I hurt Samantha because she cheated on me! THEODORE why didn't you just leave it alone? Do you have any idea how pissed off he'll get me and how fast I'll go after him? Do you or did you forget about my quick temper! Are you also aware Monday through Friday we have exams and I can't get in trouble or I'll flunk my classes and get kicked off my team!"
Theodore gulped "Umm no Simon clarified that for me. Alvin I'm sorry I just hate when people talk about you like that! You're my brother and you're not like that and when people say you are they get me mad!"
Alvin smiled.
"I understand that Theo but you should've just left it alone! Now Monday I have to control my temper so I don't beat his ass and get myself suspended for fighting. I appreciate you sticking up for me but wish you wouldn't have said for him to confront me. You know how much I hate him!"
Theodore looked.
"Yea I do. Alvin I'm sorry please don't pound me or Simon he had nothing to do with it. He told me not to say anything and I didn't listen."
Back at the mall Brittany finally found something else to get Alvin. It was a watch with his initial inside of it and outlined in his birthstone…..then on the back she had an engraving that read.
'To my man Alvin who I love so much and would be lost if I ever lose you again…..2-14 was the day we fell in love and still till this day we remain strong!!! Love your girl Brittany always and forever!!'
She paid for it and put in the same bag with the cologne set she got for him with an earring for his ear cause she could've sworn it had healed and he was able to wear now. They got a bite to eat by the food court and then she dialed Alvin's cell. After she sipped her soda he picked up.
'Hey Britt…ok I'm on my way. See you 3 in about 15 minutes. Love you 2 Alvin out.'
He grabbed his car keys from the hook and threw his leather jacket on and fixed his collar careful not to get it caught on his earring. Then he pulled out carefully and put his shades on. At a red light he went in his glove compartment to find the receipt from when he got it done and read the time period.
'Oh I can wear a regular one now. It healed 2 weeks ago. Damn I don't have any real ones just the studs. Oh man this is not good at all. As he was about to put the receipt back in his glove compartment he noticed a package of Trojans buried under his papers for his car.
'Bobby man I'm going to kill him I swear. Oh hell no he didn't in my car I'll kill him if he even thought about it! Those are leather seats I paid a lot of money for. But with who; oh no poor Mandy. Wait a minute is this note attached to the package.
'To Alvin I gave you an extra pack just in case you need it…..though it's not as satisfying with one as it is without…but just in case you need protection. No need for thanks it was my pleasure! You'll thank me later….Your best friend Bobby…PS use wisely.'
He shook his head and buried the package once again. Then the light turned green and he pulled into the mall parking lot. Brittany spotted his car and waved to him as he turned the corner. He pulled up and he opened the passenger side for her and unlocked the back doors. Brittany got in and greeted him with a kiss seeing his stud shining in the sunlight. Miranda and Amanda also noticed the bright shine.
"Oh Alvin that makes you even more sexy and masculine. Too bad you're not ours!"
Brittany looked.
"No he's not he's mine now back off! You two have your own!"
Alvin laughed and put her hand on his lap as he pulled out. She grabbed it and rested her head on him as he drove toward their house. Amanda crossed her arms by her chest and shook her head. Miranda looked and shook her head.
"What is your problem? What are you jealous now because they're so close? Man you're my sister but I just don't understand you sometimes. Hello they're together for nearly 3 years. What's he supposed to do ignore her or something? Man you are starting to get on my nerves now! You bought it upon yourself no body else. Brittany is right Bobby doesn't think you love him anymore and is only interested in having sex! He already told you that a million times. Just stop pressuring him will you? When he wants some believe me he'll let you know but stop bringing it up or trying to turn him on before you do lose him! Right Alvin?"
He nodded.
"Yea back off Mandy will you? Bobby has about had it with you doing that and I suggest you stop before he gets mad and dumps you. You two just got back together what a month ago and you expect to pick up where you left off?"
She sighed.
"Yes I do you and Brittany did. Why can't we?"
He stared and shook his head.
"I'm glad you think so but you're wrong! Just be glad you don't have paparazzi in your face everywhere you go Mandy and fans flirting with you in front of your significant other."
She sighed.
"I guess you're right Alvin. It's just we used to be so close but ever since he had that drug problem we just drifted apart and ended up breaking up!"
He looked and said.
"Ok you're right but right now is not a time to try and pressure him. He's still in counseling and you need to support him instead of putting so much pressure on the poor guy. He loves you Mandy and don't doubt that for a second."
He pulled up to their house and they walked to the door.
"Bye Alvin and Brittany see you on Monday. Don't forget to study for our exams."
Amanda stared and hugged Alvin.
'Thank you for the ride home bye Alvin. I'm going to go over Bobby's and study with him so we can start over! Bye Britt see you Monday."
They walked to their front door and Brittany responded.
"Yea do that Mandy. See you on Monday and you're welcome. Thanks for helping me out he's very hard to shop for!"
After they got in Alvin pulled out carefully and drove toward the house. She realized her hands were dry and asked.
"Alvin do you have lotion anywhere? I left mine at the house and hate when my hands are dry."
He looked and said.
"Check my glove compartment I think you left a bottle in there."
She looked in his glove compartment and found her lotion she left in there a day ago. Then she also spotted the package of Trojans.
"Why is he doing stupid crap? Man Alvin your friend Bobby can't seem to keep his mind from the gutter! Thank goodness you're not like that I think I'd kill you if you were. It's like he thinks about it 24/7."
He stared and shook his head.
"Britt we're guys that's just our nature. I mean I'm always thinking about it but not like him who puts stuff like that in his best friend's glove compartment forgetting I'm a damn chipmunk .I'll give him use wisely."
She sighed and stared.
"Yea tell me bout it especially when they handed those stupid things out in sex education in the 6th grade. But they tell us make sure you have safe sex, instead of telling us not to like they're supposed to."
He looked.
"Ok you made your point now can you drop it please?"
She stared and asked.
"Why am I setting you off again? A lot of teenage couples our age just in the backseat of the car."
He looked.
"Oh no way have you lost your mind? Yea and they're stupid and have no self respect for each other either! You know now that you brought it up Tyler was watching animal planet and showed me the screen. I almost knocked him out cause he ticked me off!"
Confused she looked.
"Umm why; what was on the screen that ticked you off?"
He sighed.
"Oh two chipmunks in a tree getting busy. Then he said.
"Whoa Alvin your species is worse than mine. Check this out they don't care where they do it!"
She looked.
"He said that? Why would he say something like that anyway? We're not wild chipmunks we were brought up in the city and the spotlight. Exactly what was he trying to say?"
Alvin shrugged.
"It's beyond me but I got so aggravated and almost hurt him. Lucky for him Simon was there to stop me from going after him. Besides he has no idea about us and neither does Bobby! Have you told Mandy or Miranda?"
She shook her head.
"No the only ones I told were my sisters; none of my friends know. Alvin I can't trust them and you know this. That's all I have to do is say oh guess what Alvin and I got to 3rd base and they'll drive me nuts. I have enough stress with school, our relationship, and our busy schedules and just don't need anymore. I'm a teenager and have enough of drama in my life to deal with more! It's bad enough your stupid ex and her stupid posse have the school thinking I'm a friggin slut that slept with the whole basketball team except you! Then her stupid whatever the hell he is goes around saying you slept with more girls than him with me right there to. You know the day when you were sick and we were broken up! It just never ends Alvin drama!"
He sighed.
"That's the curse of fame Britt! They are so jealous of our success that they think of every way to take us down. I've dealt with it since I was like 5 and as I get older it just gets worse. But my father taught me to just live my life and try not to let their trash talk drag me down and I don't. You should try to do the same. Besides you have me to help you deal with it now."
She smiled and looked at him.
"Yea I know and am lucky to have you as my man. Alvin I don't know what I would do if we never got together. After our rough life we are lucky to find you, your brothers, Dave, and of course Ms. Miller."
He grabbed her hand on his lap and responded.
"That makes the two of us Brittany. Do you want to stop for fruit smoothies or just go to the tree house to study for our exams?"
She looked.
"Fruit smoothies sound good. It'll help us wake up so we can study."
He pulled up to the smoothie shop and grabbed her hand after he locked his car and put his shades on. Then he opened the door for her and took her hand again. They got in line and he placed their order. After he paid for their smoothies they sat down and drank them as they talked. Once again Samantha approached him and he glared.
"What do you want? Will you give it up already I'm with Brittany and not giving you a 2nd chance. "
She stared.
"Oh it's not me who wants a word with you it's Johnny. See Theodore told him to confront you on Monday in front of this slut but since you're here. He's going to drag the truth out of you right in front of Ms. Not so innocent here! Why not tell him Brittany how many guys you slept with when he was home with the flu? Try the entire basketball team except you Alvin a stuck up conceited rock star who doesn't know the 1st thing about satisfaction!"
Brittany laughed.
"The only slut I see is a blonde about to see herself thrown across the shop if she doesn't get out of my sight! Another thing you were the one that slept with the whole team not me; you caught yourself dumb ass I was also home with the flu when he was! I have two witnesses that will back me up to so I advise you to stop running your mouth! I can also prove that to so you best shut your mouth!"
Johnny tapped Alvin.
"Yea Mr. Bad boy why don't you tell Brittany here exactly how many girls you slept with!"
He grabbed Johnny's hand.
"Get your hands off of me! Where do you get your info anyway? Just because I'm the bad boy of the chipmunks doesn't necessarily mean that's who I am! What about you Mr. Don Juan? Every friggin JV cheerleader slept with you more than once so you shouldn't be running your mouth! I saw it ass hole and you ended up losing captain in Middle school cause of it and I'm a freshmen and the captain you pathetic 10th grade wannabe! Another thing stop running your mouth! You don't know anything bout me except what they print in the damn magazines so back off! If you must know that answer it's 0! So I'd advise you to get away from me before I get up out of this chair and pound you clear into the ground! I maybe a chipmunk and a freshman but I am tough so you best back off before you get hurt! Do not play with me Johnny! I'm in no mood for petty garbage!"
Brittany laughed as she drank her smoothie. Then she watched as Alvin poured his all over Samantha!
"Do you get the picture now?"
She walked up to the counter and got another straw. Then she tapped him and smiled.
"Wow that was cruel. Too bad I didn't have my camera open that would go right up on our school newspaper page so Jeanette could print it oh well."
He watched as Johnny wiped the smoothie from her clothes and his too. Then he laughed. He used the other straw and drank some of Brittany's smoothie. Both of them walked out and Johnny yelled.
"I'll get you after school Seville mark my words you're a dead chipmunk rock star or not?"
Alvin laughed.
"Yea right like that is going to scare me. Grow up Johnny! We both know who'll win that fight and it won't be you! Bye loser and don't let the door kick you on the way out."
After they finished their smoothie he took the tray to the trash and dumped it. Then he entered the boys bathroom and washed his hands cause they were all sticky from the smoothie he poured on Samantha and her boy toy! Brittany entered the woman's bathroom and also washed her hands then they got back in his car and drove toward the tree house. He locked his car and Brittany put her bags in his trunk except the Victoria's Secret one. Then she watched as he sat down on her couch. He looked up and asked.
"Exactly why did you bring that with you if I may ask?"
She sighed.
"Just in case we get bored with studying and need some excitement! If that is the case we can keep one another occupied!"
He shook his head.
"Ok let's not think about that right now we have our Science exam on Monday and have a lot to cover so we can pass the stupid test."
She smiled and joined him on the couch and opened her book to the material they had to cover for their exam on Monday.
