High School Drama
Ch 22
"Second Guesses on Loyalty"
Monday started out perfect. Brittany was holding hands with Alvin as they walked to their classes. Until 4th hour came around then Brittany's happiness turned into a mix of jealousy and anger while Tammy took her seat next to Alvin and her taking the seat next to Bobby. As Bobby drew out the plan Brittany glared at Tammy as she sat next to Alvin moving her chair closer. Brittany broke her pencil in two and Bobby gulped.
"Britt pull yourself together. It's only a stupid project. The week will be over before you know it. Come on concentrate on our project and stop worrying about Alvin falling for Tammy it'll never happen."
She looked at him.
"You expect me to believe you this time? You said that the last time and he did fall for her. So don't even tell me it won't happen. She's sneakier than you're aware of and just evil!"
Alvin looked and glared.
"Do you mind? Move away a little will you? How the heck am I supposed to concentrate when you're so close to my chair? Let's get one thing straight this is a project nothing else you understand me? Now move your chair away from mine so I can breathe will you?"
She moved her chair away from him a little and flicked Brittany off while her head was down while Bobby talked to her about their project. Brittany sighed.
"Ok then we'll do this event in our History but how? Do you have any idea how to present it to the class; I really like the idea but still can't understand exactly how to present it. Do you by any chance?"
Bobby smiled.
"Yes here watch as I draw the whole plan out and then you'll see how we'll present it to the class. Pay attention Britt."
She nodded and turned her head to where he drew out the whole plan. A smile came across her mouth.
"Ooh that looks like it'll be fun and an easy presentation. Here let's mark the chapter we're working on and start to write down the major events that lead up to this? Then after school we'll go by my place and use my computer…I have the encyclopedia in my computer. If you weren't my man's best friend I'd be falling for you right about now cause you have a sense of humor and know how to make me laugh. But you are my man's best friend and my best friend's ex. So let's get that out of my head right now and get back to our project shall we?"
Alvin looked up and he stared as Brittany laughed along with Bobby because of something he said. Then he shook his head and went back to his plan. As she listened to Bobby her eyes started to close and in her head she sees Tammy leaning in closer to Alvin and sees Alvin moving in closer until their lips meet. Bobby moved his hand in front of her face.
"Britt are you paying attention? Hello your partner is speaking to you. Brittany!!"
She snapped out of her trance and screamed.
"No how can you do this to me after everything we've been through? How dare you?"
Bobby saw Alvin's face and shrugged. Then he tapped Brittany.
"Hello are you with me or in your own nightmare world or something? Brittany!!"
Tammy looked at the diagram Alvin drew and smiled.
"So basically we're going to make this diorama and present it to the class with the knowledge we seek from the computer? Ok I like it but how are we going to prove to the teacher we looked it up and didn't guess?"
Alvin looked.
"Oh by taking the information from the computer and presenting it with the diorama. How else do you think? Come on the bell rang I have to drive Brittany home. Well not my brothers they have stuff to do after school today and insisted on taking the bus or calling me when they're ready to come home."
He packed up his book bag and walked over to where Brittany sat. Then he asked.
"What were you screaming a bout and who were you screaming at?"
She sighed and stared.
"Nothing really just drifted off and day dreamed. I'm fine Alvin just take me home just stop asking alright? I have my project to do. I just don't want to talk about it right now alright just drop it!! Alvin don't turn this into a fight I said I'm fine end of story!"
She didn't even take his hand as they walked out to his car parked out front. Then when he pulled up she just got out and didn't even kiss him goodbye. He shook his head and Tammy put her hand on his shoulder.
"Alvin what's the matter? What has gotten into her? I just can't believe she blew you off like that."
He sighed as he pulled out.
"Does it look like I have any idea what her problem is…I'm just really worried. Tammy just drop it please. Come on let's get started on our project! Tammy I said drop it and stop playing like you are upset cause I know you're not!"
She remained silent as he drove toward his house. Dave saw her and looked. Then he watched as they headed upstairs to Alvin's room. He put on his computer and Tammy took the stool from the side of his bed and gave him the articles he had to look up. When he found the articles he printed them out and they both worked on putting them in their own words so the teacher wouldn't accuse them of copying the articles word for word. They took turns rewording each article and put them together. Tammy yawned.
"Ok the hard part is done…now we have to put the diorama together…you know like a timeline of some sort…Like the one in our text book…here let me turn to the page so you can see what I'm talking about."
Alvin shook his head as Tammy turned to the page not really paying attention to what she was talking about wondering what got into Brittany earlier! Tammy tapped him.
"Alvin are you listening to me? Hello. This is what I was referring to…Did anyone ever tell you how beautiful your eyes really are with the midnight blue? If not let me be the 1st to tell you! Cause it's the truth."
He didn't seem to care about the compliment and just walked to the window avoiding the stare of Tammy's green eyes in his. Especially after the last time when he kissed her when their eyes met. She got up and came up behind him placing a kiss on his cheek. He backed away as he wiped off his cheek. Then he went back to his bed and started to make the Diorama…Tammy smiled and made a move for him. He looked up and yelled.
"Do you mind start concentrating on this diorama? Tammy I said stop will you?"
She smiled.
"Oh you are so sexy when you're angry and I like that quality in men!! Especially fine looking rock stars like you."
I don't know if ur hard of hearing or just incredibly stupid...but I want you to not touch me...look at me...talk to me...I don't even want you to smell me...I want you to focus on this god forsaken project cause I swear if I have to say one more thing about it you will think I'm the most cruelest person on the face of the earth; do I make myself clear?"
She looked and watched as he put them together and also put her part together. The first part of the diorama was finally finished. They went through the papers they wrote and looked up the event pictured in the diorama…then Alvin used his marker and put a 1 at the top of the page. He looked at his watch.
"Come on let's get you home…we have until Friday and we have 4 more parts to work on. After school tomorrow we'll do the 2nd part of the diorama and you better heed the words I just told you! Let's go now."
Back at Brittany's Bobby was on her computer and watched as she stared at the picture taken at the dance. He sighed and called her over.
"Britt come on stop being like that. He'll; never cheat on you. Is that what you were day dreaming about? Ok one thing you need to learn is blowing him off like that will make the situation worse!! He didn't choose her as his partner the teacher picked her. He wanted to work with you! Another thing he doesn't trust her at all!!"
Brittany sighed and looked.
"Yea I guess you're right but you understand my point of view. It's so hard for me to deal with his groupies trying to get with him. Especially when they know we're together. You just don't understand how in love with him I am."
Bobby shook his head.
"Actually I do…Britt we've known each other for years. I know more than you think I do. We're just going to have to let it ride with this project…and you have to stop thinking he'll cheat on you! You keep it up I'll tell you one thing he's going to get annoyed and you may just lose him! You can't just blow him off like you did earlier. Here this is the 1st part of our project…what do you think?"
She smiled as she pulled up the chair next to him and read it. Then she looked and nodded.
"Nice job is that our title page or just the synopsis of our project?"
He smiled.
"Oh it's the title page and the synopsis! Your job is to write the 1st page…while I put it together. Brittany I'm going to have to go now. See you at school tomorrow and remember what I told you. He's my best friend and I know how he is. You're his girl don't let that groupie get the best of you. If you do then you will lose him. Goodnight Brittany."
She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you Bobby see you at school tomorrow."
Jeanette looked as she walked Bobby out and looked at Simon.
"You don't think my sister is falling for your brother's best friend do you? It sure seems like she is doesn't it?"
Simon stared and shook his head.
"Umm no, he's just trying to help her think clearly about the whole Tammy situation. Jenny you worry too much. I have to be going now my precious. Love you see you tomorrow."
Jeanette walked him out and he kissed her up against the pole by their house. She smiled and stared.
"Love you to Simon. See you tomorrow. Bye now."
Eleanor looked.
"I hope your man is right. She does seem like she is falling for Bobby."
Brittany waved as Bobby drove away and headed back inside.
"What are you two looking at? I am not falling for my boyfriend's best friend. I'm going to take a shower and turn in for the night. Goodnight girls and Ms. Miller."
Jeanette and Eleanor looked at one another.
"Goodnight Britt see you in the morning."
Brittany headed upstairs to her room and got her pajamas out for bed and clean under clothes. Then she put the water on and got in her shower. When she was finished she blow dried her hair and pulled her bed down. Then she got her clothes out for school and hung them on her closet. She entered the bathroom again and brushed her teeth. Then she set her alarm and got under her covers holding her Alvin doll close while she drifted off to sleep. As she slept visions of Alvin and Tammy in passion played in her head. She woke up screaming and Jeanette ran from her room into Brittany's. She shook her.
"Brittany snap out of it. Brittany wake up you're dreaming again Brittany it's me Jenny!"
She woke up and hugged Jeanette with tears rolling down her eyes.
"By the end of the week she'll figure out how to turn him on and take him from me. Jenny hold me please!! The thought of losing Alvin to one of his groupies is too much for me to bear! I'm going to have a nervous breakdown as a teenager!!"
Jeanette held her close and stroked her forehead gently.
"Britt no you won't. You have to stop this and learn to trust him more. If you don't stop this you will lose him. You need to keep your sanity and stop thinking he'll cheat on you with her. Now get back to sleep we have school in the morning."
Alvin drove Tammy home and waited until she got inside to drive back home. When he pulled up he spotted Simon.
"Hey Simon how was your night? Mine was horrible. We were working on our project and she made a play for me. Man why am I dealing with this crap? Did you see Brittany after you dropped off Jenny tonight? Why hasn't she called me yet to tell me how her 1st night working with Bobby was? I have to know why she blew me off after school today. I didn't do anything! What is going on?"
Simon shrugged.
"Why are you asking me bro? I have no idea what has gotten into her and her sisters think she's falling for Bobby. Did I say that out loud.. Ok I'm going to do my homework bye now."
Alvin ran off up the stairs and grabbed his shirt.
"What did you say? Her sisters think she's falling for my best friend? Answer me SIMON!! Do not play with me I'm in no mood now tell me what you meant by that? SIMON!! Tell me or my fist will knock you right out!!"
Dave saw it and yelled.
"ALLLLLVIIIN let go of your brother right now young man! ALVIN I said let him go or you will be grounded!!"
Alvin let him go and slammed his bedroom door. Then he sat by his window sill and stared out at the night. He buried his head in his hands and tears began to fall down his cheeks as he looked at the picture he took with Brittany at her birthday party at the skating rink and threw it against the wall breaking the glass! He dialed Bobby's cell and he answered.
'Yo bro what's up? Alvin have you been crying? What is wrong? Talk to me bro?'
He sighed.
'Oh nothing just ready to lose it cause of this damn project! Besides my girl hasn't even called me yet to tell me how it went with you tonight. Now her sisters think she's falling for you and I nearly killed my younger brother cause he slipped and told me that. Then to top it off Tammy made a play for me while we were working on our project.'
Bobby heard that.
'She did and what happened? You didn't; Alvin tell me you didn't.'
Alvin wrinkled his nose.
'No of course not…I told her off. Oh so much for your trust in me! Oh whatever Bobby bye!!'
He hung up his cell and threw it against his wall breaking it into pieces. Then he also got ready for bed and turned in. He looked on his wall and saw Brittany smiling at him and turned to the side avoiding the picture. As he slept visions of Brittany and Bobby in her bed making love played in his mind. Shortly after that picture disappeared and it switched to Alvin and Tammy in his bed making love. He woke up and saw the sweat dripping down and shook his head. Then he grabbed his Brittany doll and drifted back off to sleep feeling better.
The next day Alvin picked up the girls and Brittany continued to avoid him. He shook his head and just remained silent. He then started to get an attitude with Jeanette and Eleanor when they tried to talk to him.
"Alvin what is your problem? You really have a bad attitude today. Alvin!! We didn't mean anything by it. Talk to us will you? ALVIN!!"
He walked away and just didn't care. Jeanette glared at Simon.
"Why did you have to slip and tell him what we thought? I was only saying that I didn't mean anything by it. Now he's copping an attitude with me for no reason at all!! You better go and talk to your hot headed brother."
Simon looked.
"Do not tell me you are going to turn this into a fight cause of something I told him. He is my brother Jenny I had to tell him. Don't you dare start yelling at me I can yell to!"
Eleanor and Theodore just looked and shook their heads as they walked hand in hand to class. Brittany looked back and yelled.
"I am not falling for Bobby!! Alright now look what you caused."
Alvin just walked ahead and Bobby tried to catch up.
"Yo bro wait up! Alvin will you stop walking ahead and talk to me?"
Alvin looked back and glared.
"Oh what so you can ask me a stupid question again! Or are you going to tell me you are with my girl cause she reminds you of your ex!! Well if that's the case then fine…see if I care!! Just make it known I'm not going to fall for Tammy! If Brittany thinks it's a way to get back at me then she doesn't know me at all! All of you just leave me alone!!"
He stormed off and Tyler just stared.
"Ok what the heck just happened? Did I miss something! Yo Bobby talk to me will you? What is this I hear you and Brittany are together? What about her and Alvin?"
Brittany sighed.
"I don't know anymore! I'm asking myself the same question! Now he's yelling at my sister Jeanette and she and Simon are fighting! The only couple getting along is Eleanor and Theodore! This is not happening to me!"
Tammy spotted Alvin and met up with him at his locker.
"About last night I'm sorry Alvin. I was only trying to help you relax. So we are working on our 2nd part of our diorama tonight? It's coming out nicely you are very smart and I'm glad the teacher paired us up. My grade in History is nearly an F what about you?"
He sighed.
"I have a B as we speak….cause I failed my last term exam bringing my A to a B. Now you know why I am so concerned about us getting a good grade on our project! I have to keep my grades up or I get kicked off my team and my father will make me get home schooled cause of our fame. You don't help me relax by making a play for me when you know I'm taken by Brittany. See you in 4th hour bye Tammy."
He went in his locker and watched as Brittany laughed with Bobby and shook his head. Then he walked to 1st hour alone. Simon ran after him and tapped his shoulder.
"Alvin Jeanette didn't mean anything by saying it seemed like Brittany was falling for Bobby. I guess she saw how happy Brittany was after he left and thought that."
Alvin saw Bobby kiss Brittany and his face turned red.
"Oh really well guess what your sister is right she is falling for Bobby! Look for yourself genius!"
Simon turned and stared.
"Umm Alvin she isn't even by him. Alvin she is walking with her sisters. Alvin hello brother talking to you! ALVIN!!"
Theodore walked Eleanor to her class and kissed her up against the door. She embraced him tightly and smiled at him.
"Thank you Teddy see you at lunch I love you."
He smiled.
"You're very welcome Ellie I love you to. See you at lunch sweetie."
Then he caught up to his brothers and watched as Alvin just stormed off not saying a word.
"Umm Simon what is with hjm? He's been like that since this morning. No one walked with us to their 1st hour. Jeanette and Brittany were just talking and she told Bobby she'll see him in class 4th hour! Ok now I'm confused. What is going on? You and Jenny are fighting, Alvin and Brittany aren't speaking to one another, and he's blowing off his best friend! Did I miss something?"
Simon sighed.
"Yes…see Jenny and Elle think that Brittany is falling for Bobby…and I accidentally slipped and told him. Now he's copping an attitude with Jenny and Ellie. He's not speaking to Bobby cause he thinks it's true, and my girl is blaming it all on me! When I'm only trying to figure out what is going on myself! Does that answer your question? Come on Theo we'll be late for class!"
The two brothers went to class and watched as Alvin glared at Bobby from across the classroom as he solved a problem on the board. From the corner of his eye Bobby noticed and shook his head. Then after he solved the problem he sat in his desk. The teacher wrote another problem on the board and pointed to Alvin.
"Mr. Seville can you kindly solve this problem on the board instead of day dreaming in my classroom."
He got up and made his way to the board and solved the problem still glaring at Bobby. Simon shook his head and buried it in his hands. Theodore also looked and also shook his head. The bell rang and Bobby glared at Alvin as he walked down the hall to his locker. Brittany saw Bobby and approached him.
"Hey Bobby what's up? Hey why aren't you walking with Alvin; don't you have 2nd hour together?"
He sighed.
"Yea we do but he is giving me the cold shoulder and giving me dirty looks and I have no idea why. He's just not being himself. What do you think is his problem?"
She sighed.
"He thinks I'm falling for you because of my sister Jeanette told Simon it seemed like I was falling for you."
He looked.
"Brittany are you falling for me? While you are talking to me you are blushing."
She sighed as she gazed into his brown eyes.
"I really have no idea what I'm doing now. See you in 4th hour bye Bobby."
The bell rang for 4th hour and Alvin walked to class with his head down. Brittany also walked to 4th hour and took her seat next to Bobby still staring at Alvin from across the room. Bobby looked at her.
"Britt are you alright? How bout we work on the project by my house tonight? I also have a computer and we saved the files to a flash drive?"
She sighed.
"Alright we'll work at your place tonight. Yes I did it's in my book bag."
Alvin overheard and broke his pencil in half glaring at them both. Tammy smiled and handed him another pencil.
"Here you go Alvin…Are you sure you're ok?"
He looked and responded.
"Yes I'm fine let's draw out the second piece of our diorama then."
She smiled and moved closer to him as Brittany watched in horror.
"Ooh she never stops does she? Oh Bobby I wrote the 1st page like you asked. Can you go over it and see if I did it right?"
He looked and smiled.
"Sure Britt let me see. You did a very good job and have good handwriting to."
She smiled and watched as Bobby drew out the next part of their project still watching Tammy from the corner of her eye. The bell rang and she walked up to Alvin.
"I'm getting a ride with Bobby because tonight we're going to his house cause Ms. Miller has her bridge game with her friends. Bye Alvin."
He watched as Brittany walked out with Bobby and got in his car. Then he got angry and punched his steering wheel. Tammy stared.
"Are you sure she's not cheating on you with him? I mean why else would she get in his car? Alvin are you listening to me?"
He shook his head and pulled out of the parking lot and headed to his house. When they pulled up Simon was approaching the house.
"Oh Alvin; I'm going to the library for a while just to relax and read a book. I'll be home by 6:30pm and Theodore took Ellie out for a smoothie. See you later. Bye Tammy. Dave won't be home till 8pm tonight…I have my key."
He smiled.
"Yes alright Simon. Does Theo have his key to? We'll be in my room working on our project."
Simon shrugged.
"I have no idea. Why don't you call him and ask?"
Alvin sighed.
"I would but I broke my cell last night accidentally! Can I use yours?"
Simon looked.
"You did what? But you just got that phone; how and why? Fine here you go. But I need it back and to top it off Jenny is not talking to me and hanging with her friends. Love stinks sometimes I swear!"
Alvin sighed.
"Yes tell me about it. Oh he has his key he just text you and said yes. Here you go Simon. Thanks and see you later."
Simon walked toward the library and Alvin used his key to unlock the door. Tammy followed behind him and they headed upstairs to his room. He sat in front of his lap top and clicked on the 2nd part of the project. After he printed it out he walked back to his bed and they worked on the 2nd piece of the diorama. She smiled as she smelled his cologne.
"Oh that smells good what do you use?"
He stared.
"Oh what normal teenage guys wear AXE Chocolate why do you ask? As far as I'm concerned it doesn't do much for teenage boys like they claim. Brittany doesn't even get turned on by the smell. Oh well it's no big deal I like it."
Tammy looked and gazed into his midnight blue eyes and smiled.
"Maybe she doesn't but I do. It goes to show you that she doesn't really know much about satisfaction like I do. Why don't we take a break and I'll help you relax your mind so you can concentrate more thoroughly so we can get a passing grade."
He moved the diorama from his bed and pushed her down to the bed as he kissed her passionately moving his hands up her blouse slowly unzipping it. He slid it off her shoulders and used his fingers to slide her bra straps down causing her to be exposed to him. She moved her hands to his shirt and slowly unbuttoned it sliding it off his shoulders. He felt her lips on his chest and sighed while his hands moved to her skirt sliding it down slowly as his hands moved up her thighs causing her to sigh. She was about to move up on him when he opened his eyes and looked at the picture of Brittany above his bed staring down at him. In his mind he saw Brittany in tears and heartbroken yelling at him through her tears.
'You told me to trust you and I did…then I find out you slept with that psycho…How could you! Especially after everything we've been through! Alvin don't you love me anymore or does she mean more to you than I do? Do you care at all that I gave you my all just to prove to you that there is no other man I can love but you! Giving myself up to you after all the flirting and god knows what else!! ALVIN my friends were right you're just like the others!! If you don't love me anymore then there is no reason for me to live anymore…Goodbye Alvin and enjoy your new girl Tammy!!~ At that moment Brittany took a knife and stabbed herself saying one last thing with her last breath…I love you Alvin!!~ he came back just as Tammy came onto him shaking his head~
He saw Tammy over him and froze.
"I just can't! Tammy I mean it get off of me!!"
He pushed her off of him and ran into the bathroom washing his face off with cold water. He stared into the mirror and saw Brittany's ice blue eyes looking at him. He shook his head and jumped into a cold shower with visions of Brittany and him in passion and how satisfied he is after they end! He closed his eyes and could feel Brittany behind him moving her hands along his skin while he was in the shower. Then the memory of her sneaking in behind him while he was in the shower…and making sweet love once again after the 1st time…..He smiled and opened his eyes leaning against the tile. Tammy sat back up on Alvin's bed and stared up at the picture of Brittany above his bed. Then she got dressed and finished the diorama…leaving a note for Alvin.
'Obviously there is no way for me to make you cheat on Brittany……so I finished the diorama so we don't have to work together anymore! Thanks for everything and I hope you and Brittany make up soon!! She doesn't know how lucky she is to have a man like you holding her in his arms!! I was a fool to even think I could break the loyalty you have for her!! Just like they say I'm only a groupie fantasizing that you could ever love me…bye Alvin see you in school tomorrow!'
After Brittany finished the project with Bobby she stared out of the window and sighed.
"Oh Bobby I have to talk to Alvin! I've been such a brat lately toward him. If he is cheating on me with Tammy then I don't blame him!! If I was him I'd cheat on me! I tried his cell and can't get a hold of him. He's probably pre occupied with Tammy anyway….My problem is I'm listening to my stupid friends telling me he'll end up cheating on me cause I am so involved in myself!! Then with our relationship? I'm a diva what do they expect me to do?"
Bobby looked and came up behind her.
"Britt we're done with our project. Why don't I drive you to the tree house and drop by Alvin's and tell him you want to talk to him? Would that make you feel better? Wherever the tree house is?"
She sighed.
"That's so sweet of you Bobby but my sister Eleanor and Theodore are there tonight. I'll just have to figure out a way to get his attention on my own since I caused all of this aggravation. With him thinking I'm falling for you when we both know the only one for me is my Alvin!! Can you just drive me home please? I have to think about what I'm going to do next."
Bobby smiled and saved the project paperwork to the flash drive and put the project on a high shelf. Then he grabbed his car keys from the hook.
"Mom I'll be right back. I'm going to drop Brittany off at home and slide in and try and talk to my best friend see you in a bit. Bye mom."
They got in Bobby's car and he drove her toward Ms. Miller's house. He waited until she got in and headed to Alvin's house. When he pulled up he saw Tammy and asked.
"Wow you're leaving early. What happened?"
She sighed.
"Nothing; we finished our project early so I decided to leave. What about you? I heard about you and Brittany.I don't know who you two think you're fooling cause it ain't me! Oh whatever bye Bobby you jerk! Cheating with your best friend's girl you make me sick!"
He stared.
"Excuse me and exactly where did you hear that garbage? If anyone is trying to get someone to cheat it's you and as I can see you're unsuccessful! So don't even talk! You're a psychopath and I have no idea what I was thinking when I cheated on Mandy with you! Now I've lost her to my best friend's twin brother! Oh whatever walk a way and go sob!! That's all you are a groupie!! Always have been and that will never change!"
She stormed off down the block and Bobby knocked on Alvin's door. Alvin was descending from the stairs when he heard the knock on the door. He walked up to the door and peeked through the hole. Then he opened it and stared.
"Can I help you? Stealing my girl isn't enough so you come and shove it in my face?"
Bobby glared.
"What? Where are you getting this from? Alvin you're my best friend I could never stoop that low and steal her from you! I said this a million times you and Brittany are the Ultimate Couple and it's time you realize it! Instead of constantly jumping the gun and getting all hot under the collar! She loves nobody else but you bro!! She told me that! Now it's up to you to tell her the same! Alvin look at me….I was stupid asking that last night! Pull yourself together and realize what you and Brittany have and don't do anything to destroy it!! She's so close to a nervous breakdown cause she thinks you're cheating on her with Tammy and is blaming herself!1 Alvin look at me we're best friends and I could never do that to you! I've never seen you so happy in all the years I've known you especially since you and your brothers hit it big!! Umm Alvin did you and Brittany you know?"
He sighed and sipped his ice water.
"Didn't you ask me that a million times and didn't I answer? Well?"
Bobby thought for a second and stared.
"Umm not that I recall but I know about the hickeys you had awhile back."
Alvin stared.
"Bobby think about it…how do you get them and who was I with at Summer camp, Before School, and New Year's Eve!!"
He thought.
"Umm Brittany…are you telling me that your 1st time was at camp? Why didn't you ever tell me?"
Alvin glared.
"Gee I don't know maybe cause I don't want people to think she's a slut! Did you ever think of that? Maybe you're right I should go talk to her but where? My baby brother and Ellie are at the tree house…oh no she has no idea I broke my cell and that picture in my room I had on my bureau."
Bobby smiled and handed him a frame.
"Well you can use this for the picture but I can't help you with your cell. But you can use my cell to call her if you want."
Alvin shook his head and used the house phone to call his father. Dave saw the house phone and answered.
'Alvin why are you using the house phone to call me? What about your cell?'
He sighed.
'Umm I umm broke it. Can you get me another one please Dave…..I got into a fight with Brittany and threw my cell and it broke into pieces!'
Dave sighed.
'Alvin I can't until tomorrow the cell phone store closes at 7pm and I won't be home till 8pm. Is there a way you can go to the store and get it yourself so they can use that memory chip and transfer all that information in it?'
Alvin sighed.
'Alright I'll go with Bobby and be back by our curfew. Thanks Dave.'
Friday they all presented their projects and Brittany sighed with relief it was finally over. As Alvin went up to the desk with Tammy the note Tammy wrote him fell out of his pocket and Brittany read it….Her face turned red and she crumbled it up and threw it in her book bag. While they presented their project she glared at Alvin…..Bobby didn't understand why but tapped her anyway.
"Britt what is wrong now? Didn't you two talk?"
She looked.
"Yes we did but I just found he lied to me and cheated on me with that psycho!! I'll take care of that 2 timing chipmunk when he's by the tree house tonight! I've had it with his lies and cheating!! Now it's on and he's going to be sorry!!"
School ended for the day and he ran after Brittany but she blew him off.
"You leave me alone you insensitive jerk. You'll be lucky if I answer the door tonight! I'm so angry at you it's not even funny!! Bye Alvin! Why don't you go sleep with her since you enjoyed it the last night you worked on that project!"
He scratched his head in confusion and watched as she walked toward the tree house alone while he drove his brothers and her sisters home. After they kissed goodbye Alvin drove home and ran to his room. He grabbed the letter from Tammy and read it…then once again he was confused……He ran down the stairs and showed Simon.
"This is the letter from Tammy! What is she talking about? Simon help me here any idea!"
He shrugged.
"No unless she wrote a graphic one and planted it so Brittany would find it! So if I was you I'd write a song to sing to her and bring that with you! If you don't I'm afraid it'll be over this time! You have 3 hours to kill so I advise you to get to work. I made up with Jenny."
Alvin headed upstairs to his room and stared at his wall with Brittany's picture and started writing!! Around 5:15pm he finished writing it and sang it in his head. Then he grabbed the letter from Tammy and stuck it in his sweatshirt jacket. He saw Dave and said.
"Oh Dad I have a date with Brittany tonight. What time do I have to be in?"
Dave stared.
"Alvin do I look stupid…I know you won't be home tonight…just make sure you don't come in too late in the morning and be careful chipmunks or not!! Kabish and bring your cell too…you better tell Brittany what happened with it!"
Alvin looked.
"Yes dad I will bye now."
He got in his car and drove toward the tree house. The ladder was down and he went up it. He looked around.
"Britt I'm here. Can we talk please. Brittany?"
She looked and sat on the couch ignoring him. He sat at the edge of the couch and tapped her. She smacked his hand.
"Don't touch me you two timing insensitive jerk…..I trusted you and now I find out all my friends were right! You just don't know how to stay true to me! I don't even want to look at you! It's all in this letter…You thought I wouldn't find it…I'm from Australia and not stupid Alvin!!"
He looked.
"Ok I know that but Britt that's not the letter from Tammy I have it right here. She planted that I swear!! Brittany please I didn't do anything with her just worked on that project! Please just read it while I sing a song for you…. Please love puddle."
She looked and stared.
"You wrote a song to explain this graphic letter? Oh whatever! I don't want to hear it….just leave me alone you are lying! Just to cover your butt…"
He sighed and handed Brittany the real letter…"Please. I would never cheat on you I love you!"
She took the letter and entered her room. He ran after her and started to sing……The whole night dragged on and she didn't speak to him at all just turned her back toward him….as he tried to make her listen……
