Alvin's POV
I sat on my couch, watching my favorite show, Crock Docks. I reached into my bag of chips and realized with horror, they were empty. I had to sneak up to the kitchen to get some more. Like a ninja, I scurried to the kitchen. Luck was not on my side that day, because Brittany was in there, toasting a Pop Tart. I've been avoiding her the past few days because she's constantly nagging me to do something with my life.
" Hi, Alvin," she greeted, looking away from her Pop Tart.
" Heeeeyyyy," I replied, slowly sliding to the freshly purchased bag of Mep Chips.
" Y'know Alvin," she said, " I saw an advertisement for climbing gear at 70% off,"
" Why would I need climbing gear?" I asked, terrified of the answer.
" Because you're going to climb a mountain," she shot me an evil-looking face.
" I never said I was gonna climb a mountain, Brittany," I said, backing away.
" Are you saying you're too scared to climb Mt. Rainier?" she taunted. I hated when she did this.
" No, I just...fine, challenge accepted," I gave in. Brittany always won these sort of arguments. It looked like I would be climbing Rainier in a couple of days, and I was never so unprepared.
