Look its chapter two! Read and enjoy.
No warning this time because if you're on chapter two that means you know what your reading...
Alvin was just putting the finishing touches on his homework when he heard Dave walk in the front door. Alvin glanced over to the clock again and sighed, 7:45... Well there goes three hours of my life I won't get back.
Alvin put his books and now finished homework into his backpack. He slid off of his bed and grabbed his backpack. Alvin walked out of the room, leaving his backpack by the door. Alvin made his way downstairs to find Dave and Simon talking in the kitchen while Theodore was finishing dinner.
Simon let out a annoyed groan, "A week?"
Dave shrugged, "I'm sorry Simon, it was the first available appointment. And its time for your yearly exam anyway so no sense in just ordering you a replacement with the same prescription."
Simon leaned his head back, "I know." Simon sighed, "Its going to take at least two weeks after my appointment before they will be ready so that means three weeks of blindness." Simon rubbed his temples.
Alvin leaned on the doorway to the kitchen as guilt bubbled up in his belly again. Alvin thought about Simon trying to function without his glasses. The thought alone made Alvin cringe. Alvin walked over to the table and took a seat next to Simon, "Don't worry Si, I'll be your eyes until you get your glasses back. Its the least I can do."
Alvin let out a sigh as Dave and Theodore looked at him as if he was growing horns.
Dave reached across the table and put his hand to Alvin's forehead, "Are you feeling okay Alvin?" Theodore snickered as he went back to stirring the sauce he was making.
Alvin rolled his eyes, "Being kind isn't that out of character for me is it?"
Dave pulled away his hand and put it on his chin, acting like he had to think about it to tease Alvin
"Thank you Alvin, but I'll manege", Simon rested his hand on his homework, which Alvin noticed was unfinished.
Alvin pulled the piece of paper out from under Simon's hand and looked over it. He had only finished the first three problems and there were stray pencil marks all over the paper.
Alvin looked at Simon with a slightly annoyed look, "Simon you finished three questions in three hours … You need help."
Simon reached out to take the paper from Alvin but instead grabbed his shirt. He tugged, unaware what he was holding, and pulled Alvin onto him causing them to come nose to nose. Simon let out a sigh, "What did I grab?"
Alvin was thankful that his face was covered in fur otherwise Dave or Theodore might of noticed he was blushing. Alvin quickly pushed himself off of Simon, "My shirt, only proving my point that you need help."
Simon responded but Alvin had stopped listing and was deep in thought, Why is my heart racing? And why am I blushing? Alvin shook his head to clear his mind and interrupted Simon, "I don't care Simon you need help and you're going to get it and that is final."
Simon opened his mouth to respond but stopped and thought for a moment. He took in another breath and spoke, "Fine but only with reading and making sure I don't walk off a balcony or meet my end in some other cartoon fashion."
Simon reached out again but instead of grabbing, this time he simply put his hand on Alvin's chest and slowly moved his hand to find his arm. He followed Alvin's arm to his hand and grabbed his paper and put it on the table, "Now help me finishes this before dinner, okay?"
Alvin opened Simon's math book to the page written on the paper. Alvin's looked over the page as he thought to himself, Some math will help me clear my mind...
Alvin let out a sigh when he saw that there were more letters then numbers on the page, This is going to be fun.
The next day of school went a lot better for Simon with Alvin reading the bored to him. And Alvin didn't mind getting all of the right answers ether.
After school Alvin asked Brittany to wait and talk to him while the others went on ahead.
Brittany stood next to Alvin until her sisters and his brothers were out of earshot, "Whats up, Alvin?"
Alvin rubbed the back of his neck, "Well you know how we were going to go out Friday?"
Brittany cocked her hip to the side and placed her hand on it, "Were?"
Alvin let out a sigh, "I have to keep on eye on Simon, so I have to cancel our date."
Brittany relaxed her stance and smiled at Alvin warmly, "Oh, well that makes sense. How about I just come over to your house and we watch a movie there then?"
Alvin thought about it for a second, "Ya, that should work."
Brittany wrapped her arms around Alvin and gave him a hug. Alvin hugged her back. Brittany broke the hug and smiled at Alvin, "You know, I like the protective side of you, its cute."
Alvin smiled sheepishly ,"Thank you but please don't tell Simon that we changed out plans for him. He'll get embraced."
Brittany nodded, "Of course, now lets catch up to them."
Alvin and Brittany both jogged and caught up to their family.
Alvin and Simon sat at the table in the kitchen while Alvin read Simon his homework.
Simon penciled in the last answer and Alvin let out a sigh, "Good all done now, time to do my homework."
Alvin stood and began to walk away but felt a tug on the sleeve of his shirt. He turned to see Simon pulling on the cloth, "Alvin, bring it here and I'll help you so it doesn't take you three hours."
Alvin smiled at that thought, "Alright I'll be right back."
A hour later Alvin closed his book and smiled, "Done!"
Simon had a confused look on his face, "How do you have a hard time with this, we have the same classes except math and I finish mine in an hour, top."
Alvin glared at Simon, "Well ya, you're a freaking genius!"
Simon chuckled, "You could be too if you tried."
Alvin rolled his eyes, "I do try!"
Simon smiled while he teased Alvin, "Well maybe academics aren't your thing?"
Alvin rested his elbow on the table and then placed his face in his hand, "Tell me about it."
Simon frowned at Alvin's sad tone, "He that's nothing to be ashamed of. You're one of the best soccer players and song writers I've ever seen. How many fifteen year-old's can say they have three Grammys for best rock song?"
Alvin smiled, "You're right Simon"
Simon smiled when he heard Alvin's tone perk back up.
Chapter two comes to a close. Funny story about this chapter I wasn't going to write it yet but when I sat down to work on another story that I've been working on and all I could think about was this story... I'll try to go back to working on the other one tomorrow, but I doubt I will succeed. Two chapters in two days? I see a trend...
