Alvin VS Simon (Simonette/Alvinette)

Chapter 23

A/N: Boy, I've been so busy. Facing a writer's block :( meaning I'm a bit stuck. I know it's stupid to say that since I'm in the middle of an episode which helps me, but I'm stuck on how to add in the clues to revealing Ammon slowly. I'll spend some time thinking about this!

After eating, Jeanette attempted to use the "cool kids' language" in her words to others as she walked down the hallway to retrieve her books for the next period from her locker.

"Yo, yo, what's up Derek my homie?" She greeted with handgun gestures and winked.

"Don't talk to me." He snapped at her and scrunched his nose up in disgust.

"Okay, cool, cool bro. Whatever, YOLO." She pulled an indifferent look and continued to walk to her locker.

"That's not how you use YOLO!" Derek yelled, but she paid no attention to it.

As she opened her locker, it was pretty obvious what she searched for besides her books. Ammon's letters. To her satisfaction, she found a familiar envelope, and opened it.

Hey Jeanette,

I heard you're quite changed. But honestly, I prefer the you who is shy. But I can't blame you for wanting to get over your shyness. Don't we all want to fix a flaw in ourselves? I can get a little shy too, it's totally normal, Jeanette. But nonetheless, stay sweet and pretty, like an angel in my eyes.

~Ammon

Jeanette's heart was once again touched by his words, but a particular part caught her attention.

But I can't blame you for wanting to get over your shyness.

How does he know? Jeanette pondered to herself.

He keeps saying he heard many things about her, but from whom? She continued to think.

"Hey Jeanette!" Simon called, startling her slightly.

"Gah! Oh, hi Simon." Jeanette greeted.

"Where were you the whole lunch time? It's almost our next class." Jeanette asked.

"Oh, I was busy. Anyway, what's that?" Simon asked.

"Oh, just another letter from Ammon. You know, I'm starting to think that he's associated with someone who knows me. He's heard so much about me, but from whom? I have to find out who, that I know, knows him." Jeanette thought aloud to Simon.

"I guess it would be easy. I mean, there's only five of us who know your secrets." Simon suggested.

"I don't suppose you know him?" Jeanette asked for clarification.

"No." Simon turned away with a bored look.

"Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you though." Simon sighed.

"Why not?" Jeanette asked in confusion.

This is my chance, it's now or never, Simon thought to himself, turning back to look at her.

"Because... Well..." Simon began, but got interrupted.

"Hey Jeanette." Alvin greeted, causing Simon to growl lightly.

"Hi Alvin." Jeanette waved with a smile.

"So how's everything? Are people noticing you more?" Alvin asked, nudging her with a smirk.

"I'm not entirely convinced about trying to be noticed. If we're going to talk about attention, I'd think everyone is turning away from me instead of noticing." Jeanette confided.
