Alvin VS Simon (Simonette/Alvinette)

Chapter 29

A/N: I may need some time to think about my story plot as I am considering the episode Saving Simon after seeing suggestions. No promise that this episode will be inserted though, as I'm trying to see if I can work out the timeline, because Saving Simon ends in the summer, which is kind of a predicament to my plot because the ending is before summer starts.

As Brittany prepared for her party the next day, she noticed Jeanette sitting on the couch, looking very sullen. Jeanette was reading a book just to take her mind off the party. Jeanette had been ignoring Brittany the whole day, obviously affected by what she said. Brittany felt remorseful for causing her sister's vulnerability.

"Hey Brittany, I'm done with the feast!" Eleanor called from the kitchen.

Brittany decided to leave Jeanette alone, before attending to Eleanor.

"Thanks Ellie, I owe you a big bunch." Brittany walked into the kitchen with a grin on her face.

"Food is nothing, Britt. Feelings? I think you owe Jeanette a big bunch." Eleanor pointed at their bespectacled sister.

Brittany sighed, looking in Jeanette's direction. She knew Eleanor was right, but, how could she make it up to Jeanette? There came a knock on the door, but Jeanette remained seated on the couch.

I wouldn't want to embarrass Brittany by opening the door, Jeanette exhaled deeply as she thought to herself, flipping a page.

"Oh, I'll get it." Eleanor volunteered.

"Oh, hi Simon!" Eleanor greeted when she opened the door.

"H-hey Eleanor, is Jeanette home?" Simon asked.

"Yeah, she is. Jeanette, Simon's here." Eleanor turned to Jeanette, who remained indifferent.

"Come in, Simon." Eleanor invited the bespectacled chipmunk into the house.

"Let's go up." Jeanette suggested, and Simon followed behind her.

"So how was school today for you?" Simon asked when they reached Jeanette's bed.

"It was okay I guess. Everyone was bombarding Brittany questions about the school dance, and Theodore asked Eleanor today. I expected a letter from Ammon, but the latest I got was yesterday." She shared with Simon.

"Oh really?" He asked.

"Yeah. Do you happen to know who he is?" Jeanette asked, picking a stack of love letters.

I never noticed that he has given me almost ten letters now, Jeanette chuckled to herself.

"I wouldn't tell you if I knew too." Simon said casually, adjusting his glasses.

"He saw the whole situation yesterday. That means he's in our school." Jeanette thought aloud.

"He's obviously in the same school, how else would he know you then? Unless he's some stranger from the public library who stalks you, but ew, that's creepy." Simon shuddered.

"I asked you and your brothers if you know him but you're all saying the same thing. No." Jeanette examined the letters while speaking to Simon.

"Why do you ask us? And only us? There's over a hundred boys in school in different years." Simon asked, adjusting his sweater.

"Because I have this huge feeling that he's associated with you three. I'm going to stay up tonight. See if he shows up somehow." Jeanette stated.

"Whoa, Jeanette, you're going to sacrifice your sleep just to find him? That's too much. My brothers and I sleep at night. No one gets up." He shook his head in disapproval.
