Theodore who was now home, was in his and his brothers room laying in bed. He was feeling scared, and lonely because of what he went through an hour ago. "Whatam I going to do? That jerk wants me to break up with Ellie but, I can't do that to her. I love her so much but, I don't want to get hurt anymore by that jerk" so many thoughts were in his mind. He knew he had to make a choice, either stay with Eleanor and forget about the consequences or, break up with Eleanor so Justin can be her new boyfriend. "Huh wait a minute, what does make Justin think that Eleanor likes him? I mean there is a strong possibility that she might like him because she loves hanging out with him but, Eleanor has only eyes for me, and she would tell me straight away if she's interested in someone else because we never hide secretes from each other" said Theodore before lifting his sweater to look at his stomach. He saw new bruise close to his belly button. "If only I was big and brave like Alvin, I would teach Justin a lesson for making my life miserable since the day he and his brothers arrived at our school. But, look at me. I'm soft, short and out of shape" Theodore's negative thoughts were starting to take control of his mind. "Maybe it's better if I break up with Ellie because, she deserves someone better and not some weakling as a boyfriend who is afraid of his own shadow" Theodore begins to realize what he is saying so, he shakes his head trying to get rid of those negative thoughts.
He then gets an idea to find an answer to one of his questions. He gets out of bed and heads downstairs and sees Dave in the dinning room eating his lunch. "Hey Dave, can I go visit Miss Miller?" asked Theodore. The man looks at the green clad as he poured soda on a cup. "Sure go ahead but, are you still feeling sick?" asked Dave and Theodore shakes his head. "I'm feeling a lot better" Dave was glad to hear that and says "oh okay, but before you go, do you want something to eat?" Theodore shakes his head again and tells his father "no I'm good, and by the way, I'm sorry I made you leave work early Dave" the green clad began to feel guilty but, Dave chuckles and cheers him up. "It's alright and I care more about you and your brothers than my own life" Theodore smiles and he felt lucky to have such an amazing guardian. "Thanks Dave, anyway I'm going to go now" Theodore made his way out the door and makes his way to the Miller residence.
When he got there, he rang the door bell and Miss Miller opened the door. She was surprised to see the boy and tells him "my of my Theodore sweetheart, i wasn't expecting you to visit me right now because aren't you suppose to be at school" Theodore smiles shyly and says "I was at school but I wasn't feeling good so, they called Dave to pick me up. I took some medicine and I'm feeling a lot better now" he lied before smiling brightly at the elderly woman. "Oh well I'm happy to hear that you're feeling better and please come on in" she said before stepping on the side letting the boy go in. "Please have a seat and would you like something to eat or drink?" she asked as she went to the kitchen. "Um not thank you, I just came here to ask you something" he declined as he sat on the couch.
Miss Miller returned and was holding a mug filled with tea before she sits next to the him. She takes a sip of her tea before asking "so, what do you want to ask me sweetheart?" Theodore begins to nervously play with his thumbs. "What I want to ask you is, has Eleanor told you about being interested in another guy lately?" Miss Miller almost spits her tea out when she heard that. She places the mug on the table and says "no, the only guy she talks about is you. She always says how cute and how much she is lucky to be your girlfriend, why do you ask? Do you think she's being unfaithful to you?" Theodore immediately tells her "no, no, no I don't think that at all but the reason why I asked you is because, I was just curious. Yeah that's it" Miss Miller had a feeling he wasn't telling the truth but, she didn't want to force the green clad to say anything if he didn't feel comfortable talking about it. "Oh okay, well is there anything else you want to ask me dear?" she asked before grabbing her mug and taking a sip.
Theodore looks at the tv that was turned off and without looking away, he tells her "well, let's say you have a boyfriend that you love so much right, what would you do if, someone is forcing you to break up with your boyfriend so they can have an opportunity of being with him?" Miss Miller puts her tea down and looks at him. This question was starting to worry her so she asked him "Theodore, is someone forcing you to break up with my sweet Eleanor?" The green clad gasped and started to regret asking her that. "What no, like I said I'm just curious to know" he said. Miss Miller looked at his eye lids twitching and she could see that the conversation was making him nervous. "Theodore, please tell me who is forcing you to break up with Eleanor. Is it someone I know, is one of your brothers? Please tell me who it is so I can tell them a thing or two" said Miss Miller as she was now worried for the boy. Theodore felt like an idiot for coming to visit her in the first place because, not only does he have to deal with Simon telling anyone about his problem, but now he has to deal with Miss Miller not saying anything about what he asked her.
The green clad stands and tells the elderly woman "Miss miller, please forget I asked you those questions and please promise me that you won't tell anyone that I came here to ask you that. Please promise me Miss Miller" the elderly woman, kept looking at the boys pleading eyes and says "oh alright I promise but, whoever is forcing you to break up with my sweet Eleanor, don't listen them, and if they keep insisting then you have to tell Dave because, the last thing that you want is he or she threatening to hurt you or someone for not breaking up with her" Theodore was a bit glad that he didn't told her about Justin threatening hurt him and hurt others so close to him if he doesn't obey Justin's demands. "Okay Miss Miller, I won't and it was nice talking to you" said Theodore as he went to the door. "Alright sweetheart, goodbye now and feel free to visit me any day you want" Theodore waved at her before closing the door on his way out.
"Oh no, this is tougher than I thought, at first I was thinking that by coming here, It would help me make a decision but, it only made my situation worse" Theodore continued his conversation in his mind as he headed home.
Meanwhile at school, second class had ended so it was now time for lunch. Armando was walking in the hallway heading to the cafeteria. On his way there, he sees someone who he's had an eye on since the day he and his brothers arrived at the school. There standing by the guys bathroom was Brittany chewing gum. Armando approaches her whispers to her hear "Hello Brittany" the girl jumped by his sudden whisper and faces him. "Oh Armando, you scared me there" she said before playfully poking his chest with her finger. Armando chuckles and asked her "sorry, about that. Anyway, what are you doing here?" Brittany happily tells him "I'm waiting for Alvin to come out of the bathroom" Armando's smirk went away when he heard that name. "Oh I see" he said before noticing Henry approaching him. Brittany didn't see Armando's brother because her back was facing him. Armando looks at him and blinks three times and Henry knew what to do, so he gets behind the girl and then uses his body to suddenly press against Brittany's making her slam her body on Armando's and their lips met. Armando was leaning against a locker as Henry held his body against Brittany's. Her right breast was touching Armando's left hand. This lasted for five seconds until Henry moved away from Brittany letting her break the kiss. There was awkward silence as she looked down not knowing what to say while blushing. Armando on the other hand was very cheery that he felt like dancing. "Oh I'm so sorry Brittany, I didn't mean to push you but, that guy wouldn't let me go" said Henry before pointing at a random guy who had nothing to do with what just happened, was walking by. Lucky for Henry, the guy didn't heard him because he was listening to music with his earphones.
Brittany glances at the random guy walking away before looking at Henry. "It's alright Henry, i know you didn't push me intentionally" she then looks at Armando and says "um let's forget this happened" Armando tells her "right and I'll see you at lunch then" he then begins to walk away with his brother. Brittany watched as they left before looking at the bathroom door hoping that Alvin didn't see anything. Fortunately for her, Alvin did not see because he was still in the bathroom. She waited for moment until he comes out and approaches her. "Sorry I took long Britt, the bathroom was packed" said Alvin before holding hands with her.
Brittany however didn't say anything as the event that happened a few minutes ago replayed in her mind. "Britt, earth Brittany are you there?" She was brought back to reality when Alvjn started to snap his fingers on her face. "Huh what? Of sorry Alvin, what were you saying?" she asked. Alvin looks at her funny and places the back of his hand on her head. "Hmmm you don't seem to have a fever" he said jokingly. Brittany playfully slaps his hand and says "I'm fine" and Alvin says "oh okay, well what I was saying was, I was planning for us to go on a date someday next week but, unfortunately there's going to be some bad thunder storms starting next week from Monday to Saturday" Brittany looked at him surprised and asked "really and since when do you watch the weather channel?" Alvin grabs a her cheeks and squeezes them together before saying "Dave, my brothers, and I were watching tv last night and our show was interrupted by a weather report saying that next week from Monday to Saturday there will be thunder storms so bad that some schools might be closed until the storm goes away and I hope that this school is one of them" Alvin hoped that there wasn't going to be school for next week which amused Brittany. "What if this school doesn't close?" she asked. "Britt don't put a jinx on me" said Alvin hoping that what she said wasn't going to come true. Brittany giggles and they both start to make their way to the cafeteria as two familiar guys watched them.
