CHYNA PARK'S POV
I walked into the Ant Farm, seeing a group of ANT's , then I see a sad Fletcher sitting on the couch, all alone. A girl and a guy walked passed him, and he looked up at them and they laughed at him. He then looked down, with a large frown on his face.
I walked over to him. He looked so lonely. "Hey" I say to him.
"Hey" He says glumly
"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask him trying to boost his mood and pushing him playfully. He gives me no response, and just looks at me with a sad look on his face. Are you stupid, Chyna? Why would you ask what's wrong!? I mentally asked myself.
I turn towards him. "Fletcher, don't worry about them. I'm here for you. Always." I said, trying to sound sympathetic.
He finally looked up at me, and said "Thanks Chyna. You're a really good friend"
"Thanks, Fletcher." The bell suddenly rang, and ANT's flooded out the ANT Farm, and Fletcher and I slowly made out way to the first class we had. The whole way, saying nothing. Fletcher just seemed incredibly sad. He looked miserable, like he had no friends and nobody liked him. I understood why he was sad, but he looked like everybody thought he was a joke and everybody hated him. But, obviously, he had me. He always wanted my attention, and when he was finally getting it all, he acted like I was just a person out there, and honestly, it made me kind of sad.
We walked into the class, and everyone looked up from their cell phones or from their conversation with the various people throughout the class. One guy, from the ANT Farm, put his hand over his mouth, as if he was trying his very best to prevent himself from bursting out in laughter, in mockery of Fletcher. He then burst out laughing, and all of the ANT's in the class started to laugh with him.
I looked at Fletcher, who looked more hurt than ever. I pushed his back, pushing him to his seat. "Ignore them, Fletcher. Let's go sit down." I whispered in midst of loud laughter, all against Fletcher, all because of one stupid picture. I sat in my seat, beside Olive, and Fletcher propped sadly beside me, not even looking up. I casted Olive an evil glare, and we stayed like that for a couple of seconds, but Olive looked away, and pretended to talk to Angus. I rolled my eyes and turned to Fletcher, who was just casting his head, not looking up. "Fletcher!" I whispered to him.
"What." He replied, still not looking up.
"Put your head up, you look like you're depressed."
"I don't care"
"Fletcher…" I urged.
"Class is starting" He said, getting off the subject.
I sighed, and looked up towards the teacher. I honestly couldn't think straight. I couldn't keep my mind off of Fletcher. He always was happy, perky, and just his plain old silly self. And I missed that. I missed his happy, silly self. I missed him. Of course he was physically there, but he wasn't mentally there. And I wanted him to be mentally there too.
Throughout the morning, Fletcher was overall sad, and acted like he was depressed. It made me sad.
I walked into the cafeteria with Fletcher, and I saw high schoolers busily eating and talking about crushes, dating relationships, and whatever mattered to them, not having a care in the world for anything or anyone but themselves. I decided to take a chance, and go and sit with Angus, Olive, and a new ANT from the ANT farm, Lilly, who Olive and Angus decided to take into their little "clan". I was pretty sure Olive was trying to replace me, just because I was spending a lot of time with Fletcher.
When we sat down, Olive just gave me a mean glare, and they took their trays, and went to another table. That made me furious. I couldn't believe Olive had the decency to do that. "I'll be right back" I told Fletcher, then stormed over to Olive and her little clan.
"What is wrong with you?!" I demanded angrily.
"I just don't want to be seen with a guy like Fletcher right now. You know, after what happened at…" She replied casually.
"I know what happened!" I yelled at her, cutting her off. "I can't believe how selfish you're being! You, Fletcher, and I are supposed to be like the furious three, the three who will always be there for each other. But you know what?!"
She cocked an eyebrow, telling me "what?" in a sarcastic way, which made me all the more, mad. "I guess you're just too selfish and don't care about anybody but yourself to care about Fletcher right now."
"I think your describing Lexi, Chyna."
"Ugh!" I screamed, then stormed back to Fletcher, full of the most hateful anger I've ever felt towards Olive. I sat down in my seat, and I knew Fletcher immediately knew I was raging with anger.
"What happened?" He asked, showing no emotion whatsoever.
May 25
"I can't believe Olive. She is the worst. She is selfish, mean, and she just, just," I replied, with the same anger. "is the worst!" I finished, not able to think of the right words.
"I guess, people can be mean sometimes, and Olive I guess,"
"Wait!" I said as if a light bulb went off above my head. "She talked to Lexi! She had to!"
"Chyna…"
"I'm gonna talk to that girl."
"But Chyna…" Fletcher tried to stop me. Ignoring him, I confidently went over to Lexi, who was chatting it up with her dumb cheerleader friends.
"Hello, Lexi." I greeted her, in an unfriendly way.
"What do you want?" Lexi asked in the snobby way she did like how she always talked to me.
I started raging to her about why she had to talk to Olive about Fletcher and how she always gets in the way of things. She kept denying, but I just kept on ranting on to her. Eventually, that got into a big fight about how she is always really jealous of me, cause I have more talent, and how she always tries to get in the way of my success. Which she also was denying. I started to notice people slowly make their way out of the cafeteria, seeming very frightened.
I also noticed Olive, standing there with her clan, looking very amused. It's like she was possessed or something. I also noticed Fletcher, sitting in his chair, with his head in his hands. I suddenly realized what I was doing.
"You just don't want to admit that I am better at you in everything, the world is just too stupid to realize it! Chyna, you have no talent! I do! You don't want to admit that I am better, more popular and prettier than you!" Lexi yelled in my face.
I decided to play it cool, and shock Lexi, Olive, Angus, and Lilli. "You're right." I said.
"I am prettier than you! I am overall a better person! People think you're so great Chyna! Well, you're not! At all!" Lexi hurled at me.
"You're right."
"You just… wait, I'm right?
"Yep"
"Huh… Yeah, that's right! I am right!"
I laughed cockily. Lexi just walked away. I turned around, and Olive did not look amused anymore. She had her jaw dropped. As I passed by her, I gave her a snobby smile, and she gave me a dirty look back. Mission half accomplished, I thought. Fletcher also did not look amused.
"Fletcher, I'm sorry. I just, Lexi can really get on my nerves sometimes, and I know you told me in the first place not to go and talk to her, and… I'm sorry"
He laughed, which made me happy to see him laugh. "Chyna, don't be sorry. I couldn't ask any more of you, you're the only one sticking with me, when no one else is. You shouldn't be apologizing. I should be thanking you. So, thank you." He replied, making me feel happy.
"You're welcome Fletcher. I like spending time with you, anyway."
He laughed and said, "Thanks"
"Looks like someone finally perked up." I said, pushing him playfully. He just laughed. I missed you, Fletcher. I thought. But what I didn't know is, this good, happy moment wasn't going to last long.
