Whispering Hearts (Alvittany)

Chapter 9: Why?

~Alvin's P.O.V~

The next morning came and i found myself staring at the wall. I realized i barely slept. I was too busy thinking about how i ruined everything, again.
Why was i like this ? Maybe Dave was right..
I was still laying in bed which was very lazy of me.
Then, i heard my older brother call me..
"ALVIN! We have school in fifteen minutes, get up!!"
He shouted while entering our room.
I yawned and nodded, my eyes closed and especially not looking at Simon. I walked towards the bathroom and looked myself in the mirror.. was this really what i wanted to be? I picked up my toothbrush and started flossing with some toothpaste.

"Why did you do that?"

I chuckled thinking it was just another voice in my head but i quickly realized that it was Simon, again. He followed me to the bathroom. Great. What did i do again?

"The fuck?" I blurted, my mouth still foamy because of the toothpaste

"Brittany was bawling her eyes out last night because of you."

Shit. I immediately stopped brushing my teeth. How did he know? It made me freeze. Was she really that upset?

He continued "And you know who was there to comfort her? Me and her sisters."

Why was he with her?

"Simon what happened is none of your business" i spat my foam into the sink and rinsed it. I gave him a nasty look before leaving the bathroom.

Dammit all of those thoughts about Brittany made me almost forget about our project together. She's probably too mad to even talk to me, i bet she'll try to change partners.

~Britt's POV~

Jeanette Eleanor and me were standing by the school's entrance like every morning. We were just talking about stuff.

Jeanette: guys! I forgot to tell you
Eleanor: Whats up sis?
Jean: Simon explained himself yesterday.. he really is sweet.

As soon as i heard his name, my heart stopped and i remembered what happened last night. I know that i don't like Simon.. i couldn't imagine how Jeanette would feel if she knew about that. But seriously i dont like him. Even after what happened with Alvin.. i-

"Britt!"

A familiar voice shouted. I turned around to see that it was Michael so i approached him.
"Hi mike." I said, "Sorry for last night. You know Alvin wants to stir up trouble all the time." Michael shook his head slowly then stared at me with his beautiful hazel eyes. "Don't worry. I was meaning to talk to you about something. How about at lunch so that we wont risk getting.. pranked on again?" He chuckled. I nodded and smiled at him. Mike then waved and left.
I came back to my sisters. "Aww!" Eleanor exclaimed "you guys are so cute." Jeanette agreed. I would think so too but for some reason i couldn't get Alvin off of my mind. I didn't reply and my eyes started to wander, looking for him.

"Well I'm going to my locker, bye" Jeanette waved at us and left. Me and Eleanor waved at her too and we stayed silent for a moment. Suddenly, she looked at me. And i knew that look, she was mad at me.

"You kissed him" she whispered.

What? I was so confused. "Kissed who?" I asked.

"You know who." She strutted away in her Converse sneakers after saying that phrase. I know who. Did she mean Alvin? Does Ellie know about our kiss? Shit, if she does then this is bad.. real bad. I know she's always this sassy but this time she looked really serious.

You must be wondering why. Why am i so scared about my sisters finding out i kissed him? Well that troublemaker is a huge player. He got with literally every girl in our grade, he even got with some girls older than us. That's how big of a deal he is and he is so much more than that.. Me and my sisters always thought that he was always up for trouble.. a good for nothing player. We never thought that it was reasonable to like him since we knew he could break our hearts at the end. None of us actually liked him.. i think? I know my sisters, i know when they like someone. For example, Jeanette and Simon. I always thought that Jean had a crush on him, ever since we were children. I guess he just gets her in a way that we never did.

If they knew i kissed the hearth throb of Eastman High..

How could they look up to me now?
