High School Drama

Ch 23

"A Surprise for the Girls"

The next day Alvin woke up and didn't see Brittany next to him. He sat up and looked around for her. Then he shook his head and got dressed after he took a shower. When he was done he headed downstairs and saw Brittany sitting silently sipping her tea. Then he also made himself a cup of tea and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Britt what's the matter? I thought you forgave me last night. Why didn't you let me know you would be downstairs?"

She sighed.

"Yes I did forgive you Alvie, but I didn't want to disturb you and let you sleep. I just don't understand why she did that with that graphic note. I mean she was put away and everything seemed fine. Now she pulled this stunt and nearly broke us up. Does it ever end?"

He sighed.

"No I'm afraid not. Britt she's nothing more than an obsessed groupie. We have to hurry babe The game starts in an hour and a half. I'll be right back you go and get ready I need to call my brother."

He watched as she headed back upstairs and dialed Simon's cell. He answered.

'Simon here; hey Alvin is everything ok with you 2 now? We were all just getting ready to head to the game. A performance during the game? How on earth are we going to pull that one off? You have to play you can't just not play to perform. The team needs you; you're the captain.'

Alvin shook his head.

'Nah really genius I had no idea. During the intermission when the cheerleaders take the court and the team sits down. So what I have to perform in my basketball uniform do you really think I give 2 damns. No I'm going to send the message to Tammy that Brittany is the one I adore and nobody or anything will make me change my mind! She's still a little angry at me Simon…I hate when she is angry at me. Please help me out here…and besides you and Theo can also make Jeanie and Ellie listen. Simon please you know what she means to me and how crushed I'd be if we ever broke up. Cd with the mix is in my room in the top drawer…I have the lyrics with the CD please.'

Simon sighed.

'Alright fine Alvin we'll do it. See you at the game and I'll bring your mike with me also. Principal Talbot is gonna kill all 3 of us and we'll get detention…..do you know what that will do to my record?'

Alvin sighed.

'Oh whatever Simon see you at the game…make sure Theo doesn't slip and tell Ellie. Then he'll ruin it. Besides I'm going to talk to Principal Talbot when I get there…trust me on this please. Alright Simon I gotta go. See you both at the game and thanks again.'

Simon looked at Theo.

'Sure no problem we are brothers and stick together. Bye Alvin see you later then.'

Alvin sighed with relief and Brittany looked.

"Are you sure you're feeling ok? You are acting weirder than usual. Alvie I told you I forgave you why aren't you believing me."

He looked.

"Britt I can see it in your eyes you're still a little angry at me. I don't blame you either. I should've watched my back especially after what she almost did to both of us. Enough about that we have to get going now."

She just sighed and grabbed her pom poms as she followed Alvin out to his car. They both got in and he pulled out carefully and drove toward the school. As they drove toward the school Brittany didn't say a word to him. He was hoping what he had planned during intermission would make her completely forgive him and get through to Tammy to leave him alone. When he pulled up she didn't even give him a kiss for good luck and he shook his head. Then he glared at Tammy who was sitting on the bleachers talking to his ex and her lackey Rhonda. He spotted Talbot and approached him.

He looked.

"Yes Seville can I help you? You want to do what? I don't see why you can't but how are you going to pull this one off? I can have one of the boys in video help you and your brothers out unless Simon wants to do it? He has a pass to get the equipment. Let me know before the game starts. Next time you have a problem with Tammy please let me know. I have the papers stating she is supposed to stay away from all 6 of you. There was no reason why the teacher made you work with her and refused to change your partner. I will have a long talk with the teacher 1st thing Monday morning. It's almost game time. What is your decision?"

Alvin thought for a second.

"Hmm I think we'll go with one of the guys in the class instead of Simon. Thanks Mr. Talbot. Let me go tell my brothers."

He ran over to where Simon and Theodore sat with the girls and Dave. Then Dave looked suspiciously at his boys as they walked away for a split second. Brittany took her position with her squad and shook her head as Alvin and his brothers disappeared. Amanda looked.

"Britt what is it with you and Alvin? You didn't even kiss him to wish him good luck. What happened this time; are you fighting again?"

Samantha laughed.

"Oh what happened he decided to dump you to be with Tammy after the nights they spent alone during the project.? She told us that she slept with him behind your back. I told you he's a jerk and can't be trusted. Take it from someone who dated him."

Miranda rang in.

"Oh really; that's why you didn't even last 3 months with him. You know what stop talking cause none of us are listening to you bull crapping. Britt ignore her; you know him better than she does. "

Brittany shook her head.

"I thought I did, but I can be wrong. Now if you all would excuse me I need to use the restroom."

They all watched as Brittany ran toward the bathroom in tears. Tammy sat on the bleachers and laughed. Alvin came to the court and got with his team to warm up. Then Miranda approached him angry.

"Why you two timing jerk. So it is true you did sleep with Tammy? You make me sick. How could you after what she goes through for you? Do you even care that she's in tears as we speak because she knows the truth? Alvin you're a conceited rock star that is to blind to see how much she's hurt cause she is madly in love with you. We thought you felt the same but obviously we're wrong. Just dump her instead of putting her through this."

He tried to speak and watched as Miranda walked away. Then he shook his head and got in position with the team. He glanced over to the bleachers where Tammy sat with a smile across her face. He looked at the time and looked over where Brittany was supposed to be with her squad. Bobby looked.

"Yo bro where is the captain of the squad? The game starts in less than 10 minutes."

Alvin shook his head and stared.

"We're in a fight again because of Tammy. She told me last night she forgave me but now her best friend is telling me she hasn't. Besides my ex just convinced her I slept with Tammy when I didn't does that answer your question? Do you feel better now; I'm about to lose the only girl I am truly in love with because of High School Drama. Bobby just drop it please!"

The band started playing and Brittany appeared in her position wiping the tears from her eyes thanks to Miranda. She lead the squad.

"Hey you out there get up out of your chair. The time has come…time to cheer toward a victory…..Eagles are going to soar above their enemies and win tonight…Let's go Eagles let's go and win it tonight!!!"

Above everybody the line up was announced and the game began. Bobby got the ball and passed it to Alvin allowing him to make the first points of the night with a jump shot. Next to score was Tyler who was open when Alvin was guarded by 2 guys. Bobby became open and Jason threw it to him and he too made a jump shot putting the Eagles ahead. As the game continued Simon watched the clock above the court and so did Theodore. Eleanor looked.

"Theo why are you watching the clock? The game is no where near over. I just wish I knew what was going on with Alvin and Brittany? Not once has my sister kissed him tonight not even to wish him good luck."

As the 2nd quarter was about to end Simon and Theodore disappeared and the girls looked around puzzled. Miguel made his way up to the video room and set everything up for the event about to occur. The coach signaled the team to the sides and Alvin watched as the cheerleaders took the court again. Alvin disappeared after he wiped the sweat from his forehead and met up with his brothers. Simon handed him his microphone and the scoreboard suddenly flashed….In the meantime Bobby looked at Tyler.

"Umm where did our captain get to and what is going on with the scoreboard? What the heck is going on? Alvin where the heck are you? Has anyone seen Alvin; he was just here next to me and now he's gone."

Tyler shrugged.

"I didn't see him leave. So I am as confused as you are bro. jay have you seen him?"

He also shrugged as he sipped his Gatorade. Suddenly a spotlight shined in the middle of the court and strobe lights also shined……Miguel hooked everything up and hit the CD on………..The music played and a silence came over the whole gym. Brittany looked around puzzled. Then on the scoreboard a message in pink and red suddenly appeared.

"To the only girl I could ever love this is all for you!! Britt please forgive me…..and believe me when I say……"

The message disappeared and Alvin appeared in the spotlight with his microphone…next to him stood Simon and Theodore microphones in hand. All 3 remained still until the music started and danced to the beat….Alvin looked at Brittany and said.

"Britt this is all for you to prove that you are…"

Lately, I have noticed a change in me
I'm not restless as I used to be
And there's so many things I want to do,
But only with you

'Cause now that I've found what i'm
searching for
There's no need to look for love
anymore
And this feeling I have is too deep inside
I know it can only be right that you

You're the one that I adore
You're the one my heart beats for
And there's no place I'd rather be
'Cause you are the one for me

Wherever I go and whaterver I may do
I'm overcome with all these thoughts
of you
And I just love the way you're making
me feel
I know this is real

'Cause now you've become such a part
of me
Not a hope or a dream, but reality
And I won't try to hide, I'll just let it show
I think that it's time you should know
that you
You're the one that I adore
You're the one my heart beats for
And there's no place I'd rather be
'Cause you are the one for me

You're my one and only desire
You're the one who takes me higher
And there's no doubt you hold the key
'Cause you are the one for me

'Cause now that I found what I'm
searching for
There's no need to look for love anymore
And this feeling I have is so deep inside
I know it can only be right that you

The music cut and Brittany looked around and ran into his arms kissing him on the lips while Tammy just stared with her mouth dropped. Jeanette and Eleanor also ran into his brothers' arms also kissing them. Brittany smiled at him and he put his microphone down and embraced her tightly returning her approach.

"Told you that you were the only girl I could ever love. Do you believe me now or still think I'm a two timing, stuck up rock star as Miranda explained to me?"

Brittany just smiled and gazed into his midnight blue eyes.

"I never said that, but was thinking it. Oh Alvin I love you so much. That was so sweet of you and now I get the message loud and clear. So it's all a lie you didn't sleep with Tammy during that project?"

He smiled and brushed his hand against her cheek.

"Yes Britt; it's a lie. I never slept with Tammy during that project like I told you last night. The only girl I slept with is the one I'm holding right here in my arms and would never cheat on you. You are my everything and nothing anyone says, does, or tries will ever change my mind you are my girl and I don't want it any other way! I love and adore you Britt."

She smiled as she kissed him again.

"I only love and adore you Alvin. Please don't ever leave me!"

He smiled.

"I promise I won't leave you babe. I love you too much."

The scoreboard came back up and Brittany went back to her squad and Alvin went back to their game happier than he was earlier. Bobby looked.

"Whoa bro that was amazing!! I think Ms. Psyco over there finally got the message that you only want Brittany and no other girl. Now come on captain let's win this regional game?"

Alvin smiled.

"Yes let's get this game on the move. We are trailing by 8. We can pick it up with the last two quarters. Let's soar eagles."

Brittany led the squad.

"All of you out there get on up and spread your wings…so our eagles can soar high and win win……What do we want VICTORY…..What do we need VICTORY…1,2,3 time is now, time has come let's soar and win this!! Let's go EAGLES Let's Go!!! Put your hands together and shout with us all….VICTORY!!!!"

The game continued and Alvin took the ball from a guard that was on him….he faked to the right then to the left and ran down the court dribbling the ball till he had an open shot making another jump shot as a guard tried to block him. Bobby took the ball and faked to the right saw Tyler open and passed it to him. Tyler took the ball and faked to the right……and escaped the guard on him also jumping up to make a jump shot it went in and the buzzer rang. The announcer came on.

"Once again our Edison Eagles are the champions……and the MVP is our captain Alvin Seville."

After the game ended Brittany ran into his arms and he embraced her tightly with a smile across his face. She smiled at him and kissed him on the lips.

"You did it again. I'm so proud of you and to be your girl! I love you so much and am so sorry for the way I acted all week toward you. "

He smiled and shut her up as his lips met hers. Tammy glared and approached them.

"He is so full of it? We did sleep together and he knows it."

They broke apart and Brittany glared at her.

"Oh really he did what is this in your writing smart one? According to this letter you said it yourself…..I was a fool to think you'd cheat on Brittany…Obviously I can see that nothing can break you two up so I decided to finish the project so we don't have to work together anymore! Now you take your groupie self out of our sight and find another man cause Alvin is with me and I'm not about to waste my strength on the likes of you!"

Tammy ran out of the gym in tears and Brittany went back to Alvin and looked.

"Oh now where were we before we were rudely interrupted? Oh nevermind I remember."

She smiled at him and pushed him up against the wall kissing him passionately as the crowd in the gym broke up. Simon entered and looked.

"Oh ok you two break apart already. This is not a good place for that. I know you made up but Dave is having a fit. Alvin are you listening to a word I am saying ALVIN!!!"

They broke apart and he glared.

"What is it now? I have my car genius. Oh we're going out for dinner. If you don't mind we'll meet you at the restaurant. Simon go before I make you!"

Simon gulped.

"Ok I'm going Mr. personality! We have reservations at 7pm at your favorite restaurant don't be late or you will have to pay for your own dinner. Its Dave's treat since you won tonight. Alright I'm going gee…talk about pushy!"

Brittany just giggled and looked at him.

"What are you up to Alvin? Why are we meeting them at the restaurant don't you have to go home and get ready to go out for dinner?"

He smiled slyly and they walked to his car and then he pulled out and headed back to the park. She looked at him puzzled.

"Where are we going?"

He took her hand and pointed to the boat on the water. Then they got in and he rowed out to the middle of the lake as the moonlight shined on them. She smiled and watched as the sun began to set over the lake.

"Oh Alvie this is so romantic. It's so beautiful out here even better than at the beach. I love you!"

He smiled and put the oars down then he leaned over and kissed her. She accepted without hesitation and felt her body descend to the boat on the blanket he put on the bottom. Once again they made sweet love away from everybody and she managed to speak when he paused.

"Oh it's not hard to see that spring is in the air. Which happens to be mating season for chipmunks like ourselves."

He put his finger to her mouth and said.

"No talking till it ends Britt! Yes I know that and it's been too long since we have been like this. Now no more talking we have at least two more hours until we have to be at the restaurant let's make the best out of it shall we?"

She nodded and closed her eyes as he started up again sighing loudly as he came down on her. Her claws came out as they got deeper and their bodies moved arithmetically as the soft breeze blew in the air.

"Aagh Alvin I love you so much!!"

He smiled at her when it ended and ran his fingers through her auburn hair as she rested her head on his chest. She used her fingers and traced his abs as the sweat dripped down his forehead and her body. He glanced at his watch and she smiled at him. Then he looked at her after he caught his breath.

"Whoa that felt so good. I was losing my mind not being able to be in this state of mind with you once again. How I managed to keep my sanity is beyond me. Oh Britt how could you ever think that any other girl could quench the desire within this chipmunk but my chipette. What about you and Bobby? Were you actually falling for him when you worked on that project with him?"

She smiled and shook her head.

"No of course not the only man I could ever love is right here next to me. We just talked because I was upset it seemed like Tammy was making you fall for her again. No other man could quench the desire within or satisfy me like you do. We should be going your cell is vibrating I think it's your father or one of your brothers."

He shook his head and grabbed his cell from his shorts. Then he read the caller id and answered.

'Alright Simon will you calm down already. We'll meet you at the restaurant. Yes I know Dave made reservations and we'll be there. Who are you yelling at I'm older than you…bye.'

Brittany got dressed and fixed her hair. But then she saw the claw marks on his back and kissed his back. He cringed and she wrapped her arms around him.

"Sorry bout the umm marks all over your back. You were right it's been way too long and I got carried away."

He hung up his cell and also got dressed. Then he looked at her.

"It's alright I'll survive. Let's get back before Dave calls me and I get grounded."

She nodded and he rowed back to the shore and took her hand to help her out of the boat. She looked and stared.

"Aren't you forgetting the blanket?"

He took it and she grabbed his waist as they made their way back to his car. He put the blanket in his trunk and then they got in. He pulled out and drove toward the tree house. Then they both entered and she took her shower. Then she got ready and he waited until she was done. After she was finished he went in his shower and she fixed her make up. When he was finished he exited the bathroom and grabbed her waist kissing her on the cheek. She grabbed his hands by her waist and smiled. Then she fixed his tie and his cap.

"I thought no one was allowed to touch the cap?"

He just smiled and kissed on the cheek again.

"Britt you're my girl. Why would I care? Shall we get going to the restaurant now before my father kills us both?"

She smiled and nodded. Then they exited the tree house and he drove toward the restaurant. Dave looked.

"You are so lucky you made it."

Alvin looked.

"We just went for a boat ride to talk about the drama we have to deal with. Just because we are so in love with one another that people will stop at nothing to break us up. But we're ok now and starving to."

Brittany just smiled and giggled.
