The Perils of a Teenage Romance One

The Perils of a Teenage Romance Two

The next morning Brittany woke up extra early. She didn’t really like getting up early if she could help it, but she was determined to talk to Simon today about Jeanette. If her little sister was getting serious about a guy she wanted to know his true intentions. She walked out into the hallway, and even though her hair was still a mess, and she was still in her house robe she could hear Simon’s voice from the bathroom.

“Is he singing?” she wondered out loud. She stomped over to the bathroom door with determination in every step.

“Simon, open up,” she demanded as she pounded on the door.

This was confusing to Simon. Why did Brittany need to get into their bathroom? A few months after the girls had moved in, Dave had construction done to build the girls as well as the boys their own chipmunks sized bathrooms.

“Brittany, you girls have your own bathroom,” Simon said, poking his head out of the door. “Is your toilet broke, because if it is, I can…”

“No, smart guy, I just want to talk to you,” Brittany said, putting her paws on her hips.

“What about?” Simon asked coming out into the hallway.

“Jeanette, what else,” Brittany said. “I want to know how you really feel about her. Do you really truly love her, or are you just stringing her along?”

“Brittany,” Simon fired at her. “What’s between me and Jeanette is none of your business. Like we told you yesterday at breakfast, we’re friends.”

“Oh, yeah, not the way Jeanette wrote about you in her diary. She’s in love with you, you dupe, and if you hurt her…” Brittany had a finger pointing in his face.

“Brittany!” she heard someone shout from behind her. She turned quickly to see an angry Jeanette staring her down. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“Only protecting my little sister,” Brittany said.
