Whispering Hearts (Alvittany)

Chapter 4: ASAP

After the weekend passed, we were back at school. Alvin was flirting with some other girls in the halls like usually. I usually wouldn't give a shit but this time it kinda hurt. I kept thinking about our kiss a few days ago, we haven't spoken to each other since then.

Me and Eleanor were walking to our lockers, talking about what happened with Jeanette and Simon at our sleepover with the Chipmunks. In a week, my sister is gonna go to science camp with her crush. I know she'll never admit but she's my kin, we know everything about each other. Usually, those two would always be together, talking about like, nerdy stuff and science. But this morning they didn't even look at each other.. And speaking of them i haven't talked to Jeanette today since she left earlier than me and Ellie. Every time she left earlier than us she would go to the school's lab with Simon to work on some experiences and to help him with his inventions. But since we just saw Simon speaking with Theodore a minute ago, she definitely wasn't with him.

Jeanette's POV
I left earlier than my sisters today. Generally, it would be to hang out with.. Simon. I don't feel like it, we have spoken since.. that night. I am now locked in a bathroom stall, thinking about how i'll be spending the rest of the month with the guy i currently hate in a week. To be honest, he did try to talk to me this morning when i was in the lab. I went there first thing, so early that i thought Simon would come after i left but no, he came and we looked at each other for a brief moment.. it was so awkward. Let me recapitulate how it went.

While i was analyzing some date from a biological experiment i was doing about growth patterns of a certain organism, i heard the door unlock. I looked quickly at my watch, 6:30 am, too early for the janitor coming it since he was arriving at 7 o' clock which would be the time i would be leaving. I turned around to look at Simon, the last person i wanted to see today. My heart dropped. I took my backpack, shoved my data in it and quickly got up from the desk.

Simon: Hey Jeanette, what are y-
Jeanette: C-Can't talk now. Class.
Simon: But classes start at eight-

I didn't let Simon finish his phrase and closed the door on him before running away to the bathroom stalls where i have been lurking for an hour now. I figured i had to get up sooner or later because there was only thirty minutes before my lessons start. I had to go get my books at my locker which was misplaced at the other side of the school, remote from everyone in my grade including my sisters.

I was the odd one out, like always. Don't get me wrong, i liked being away from all of the immaturity that people my age had.. but sometimes, it does hurt being alone..

Especially when you're avoiding the only person who understands you.

ALVINs POV
"Alvin~ you're SO funny." Amber repeated. I run my hands through my hair then i smirk at her "I know" i replied, leaning over and winking at her. I forgot to mention that after a few years all of us got a sudden growth spurt so us Chipmunks and Chipettes are as tall as the humans. It's less awkward and i definitely get more girls now. Actually, Simon gets thousands of love letters, Theodore gets chocolates delivered in his locker and i get confessions. I think i've dated every girl in my grade ... except well the Chipettes. Shoot. I just remembered my kiss with Brittany. Maybe i should talk to her about it? I mean.. it was platonic.. right?

I waved goodbye to Amber and went marching down the hallway to Brittany's locker. I knew i was her first kiss so it surely was overwhelming for her. And i knew Britt very well, she overthinks a lot. Also- OW! I just bumped into... Jeanette?

"Ow! S-S-Sorry Alvin..."

The fuck is she doing here? Isn't she supposed to be with Simon? "And aren't you hanging out at the lab with my brother?" She looked down, then shook her head slowly. She looked really bummed out but hey, to be honest i didn't really care. "Well you guys will figure it out, nice talking to ya, bye!" I shouted while running to brittany's locker. As i arrived there, i pulled out my phone to see that there were 15 minutes before class. Im sure she'll come to get her book sooner or later. I stood beside her locker and waited. Suddenly, i heard that voice i used to hate.

That voice was now to me the most melodic thing that i long to hear each day. Even if it was listening to her gossiping with her friends or her answering a question in class, she would still be so refreshing.

I turned around to see her strutting around in her beach type of sandals, her white linen pants and her square neck pink tee, which was her favourite color. I see that she let down her wavy hair today, her strands were strawberry blonde, it really was unique, i've never seen someone with hair like that. I think i zoned out because i heard .. her little sister say  "Okay player you can go flirt with the girls at the other lockers over there, me and Brittany need to get our things. Shoo, now" she said while making a hand gesture signifying me to go away. "Not today, Eleanor. I need to talk to Brittany" i replied. "Britt? Dont you guys like hate each other? Pfft, whatever." She mumbled while strolling over to her locker. Then, after her annoying little sister disappeared, i finally saw her. She's opening her locker, right now, she didn't even look at me. "Hey britt.." i said waving my hand at her face. Even though she was still not looking at me, she replied "What do you want Alvin." she said while rolling her etes. "I wanted to talk about.. you know.." i whispered "the kiss." She jumped then froze. I leaned in to look at her face since she was a little shorter than me. She was blushing. When she saw me looking at her she quickly put her hands on her face. "Go." Confused, i asked "Wha-" .. "GO!" she shouted. "Okay fine, but we have to talk about it ASAP." I replied and she stormed off, leaving her lock open. I then locked her locker to make sure that she wouldn't lose anything. Not that i care.

Or do i?

No. I dont. She obviously doesn't want anything to do with me.

Why would i even like.. her?
