"Hey, Chyna," Fletcher smiled.
"Uh... Hey, Fletcher," Chyna said, "Have you seen Olive anywhere? I wanted to tell her about the new A.N.T coming to Webster High!"
"There's a new A.N.T?" Fletcher asked, "What's the new person's name?"
"Gibson and Skidmore told me," Chyna replied, "I heard it's a guy, and his name is Nick! I can't wait to meet the new guy!"
"Nick..." Fletcher sadly sighed, "Woo-hoo! A new guy is coming to the A.N.T program... Any idea what his talent is?"
"Yeah," Chyna smiled, "He's a baseball player! He used to be the star player of his middle school league until he was recommended for the A.N.T program. Now he's going to play on the high school team here! Seems like a totally hot and athletic guy! I can't wait to meet him!"
"Why?" Fletcher angrily asked, "You want to date this Nick guy?"
"Well, maybe," Chyna replied, "I haven't even met the guy! If he's just what I think he is... Maybe!"
"Oh..." Fletcher sighed, "What if this 'Nick' guy was a talented artist? Would you want to date him then?"
"I don't have time for these questions!" Chyna exclaimed, "I have to go tell Olive!"
"Right, right." Fletcher nodded, and Chyna dashed out.
Angus got off his computer.
"That's why I go for a less flirtatious girl," Angus grinned, "That way, she doesn't flirt or flirt back with other guys!"
"Are you talking about Olive, Angus?" Fletcher asked, sighing, "Olive's like my best friend, and I know she'll never go out with you!"
"A man can dream..." Angus sighed, "Quimby, you keep away from my Olive!"
"Me... Me dating Olive?" Fletcher laughed, "Dude, Olive is my best friend! She's so close to me, that would be like going out with your sister! I'm not looking to go out with Olive. I want to go out with Chyna!"
"She knows you like her," Angus said, "I think you should give up on her. She'll probably be interested in that Nick guy, anyways."
"Well then!" Fletcher snapped, "Why don't you give up on dating Olive?"
"Never!" Angus cried, "I will fight for my Olive!"
"But once you 'win' the battle for her love, she'll run away screaming, because once again, she's a damsel in distress in your arms!" Fletcher laughed.
"That was an absolutely awful joke," Angus snapped, "But two shay with you and Chyna! She doesn't want to be your girlfriend!"
Meanwhile with Chyna and Olive
"Olive, Olive!" Chyna exclaimed, "I have really exciting news from Gibson and Skidmore!"
"Ugh... What is it?" Olive angrily asked.
"Uh... There's a hot new A.N.T coming to school tomorrow," Chyna replied, "His name is Nick and he's a baseball player! Eek!"
"Is all you do flirt with guys?" Olive rolled her eyes, "Chyna, we're the age of middle schoolers... We can't date!"
"Olive, we've been in the A.N.T program for 2 years now," Chyna said, "We're 13! Lots of 13 year old girls have boyfriends!"
"Who am I kidding?" Olive sighed, "Do whatever you want. W-what... What about Fletcher and you?"
"I will never want to date Fletcher Quimby!" Chyna laughed, "He's pathetic! I'm not interested in him as anything more than a friend!"
Little did Chyna know... Fletcher was listening. One tear fell down his face, but then he bit his lip and made himself man-up in order to stop his pathetic crying. That's exactly what Chyna thought of him! A pathetic loser! Why did he keep trying to win her? He should've given up a long time ago. He should've known Chyna was never interested in him and never will be in her life! Fletcher and Chyna... Just friends. Nothing more.
"Hey Chyna," Fletcher sorely spoke, "You... You forgot your purse..."
"Oh, thanks," Chyna said, "You can just leave in on the table. I don't need it right now."
"Fletcher, are you alright?" Olive asked, "You look a little down right now..."
"Oh relax, Olive!" Chyna exclaimed, "Fletcher is totally fine! But I guess you can stay if you don't mind a little girl talk!"
"Don't get me wrong, Chyna, we're best friends, but I'd rather not talk about your love-life," Olive shook her head, "And Fletcher seems like he needs a friend right now!"
"Whatever," Chyna said, "I have stuff to do, anyways. By that, I mean getting ready for Nick's arrival tomorrow! Woot woot!"
"Yeah, you have fun with that." Olive said.
Chyna left, leaving Fletcher and Olive alone.
"Fletcher... What's wrong?" Olive asked, "I know I've hurt you a lot... But this time, I didn't do anything. You know we're best friends, too."
"I know," Fletcher replied, "You're like the #1 person I trust in the world. Well, third, because of my mom and dad... But, you get what I mean. I trust you a lot."
"Then tell me!" Olive exclaimed, "Is this about Chyna? I promise I won't tell her anything if it is."
"Yeah, it's about her..." Fletcher sighed, "Well, while she was talking to you, I found her purse and came here to return it to her. I heard what she said about me..."
"I'm sure she didn't mean it!" Olive cried.
"She did, I know she did," Fletcher said, "I... I didn't know she thinks I'm pathetic like that."
"You're not pathetic," Olive smiled, "You're the bravest guy I know! Any girl would be more than lucky to go out with you!"
