The first few classes have passed, lunch and now It's recess, besides the couples, Melanie handed out some valentines to her friends, "Happy Valentine's Day, Cheryl! Wish you luck for tonight's game!" She mentioned.
"Gee, Thanks Mel!" Cheryl exclaimed.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Albert, Bertha." She handed over the two valentine cards.
Bertha smiled, "Why Thank you, Melanie, Happy Valentine's Day to you as well."
Lulu then came long, walking up towards the three, "Hey, have any of you seen Stella?" She asked, barging in.
"No, last time I saw her, she was in class." Cheryl answered.
Meanwhile, inside the school campus, Stella appears to be lurking in the halls until she heard footsteps coming her way and immediately hid on the side of the locker, holding the Valentine card behind her back. She peeked out of the corner and spotted Dumb Donald walking down the hallway, with a bouquet of roses he's been carrying around since he arrived in the morning.
She had a huge grin on her face and tip-toed behind a few sections of lockers as he walked off the edge of the hallway. Stella carefully followed behind him to the dead end of the school until her smile quickly faded away and she stopped her own tracks as she stared in shock.
...
Donald handed the roses to another girl who looked very familiar. She appeared to be African-American about almost the same height as Donald with her hair up in small puffball pigtails, a yellow sweater, a white, flared skirt, white knee socks and black flats.
That girl was...
Elaine Withrow.
"Oh Donald, I don't know how to thank you, you've made my Valentine's Day even more special than ever." The cheerleader girl exclaimed astonishingly.
"Awe, I-I-It was nothing, I-I-I'm just glad you're happy, that's all." He said shyly with his hands in his pockets.
With a flabbergasted expression on her face, Stella then began to frown until a voice whispered into her ear.
"Stella!"
She yelped then quickly looked behind, it was only her best friend, Lulu.
"Oh, Hi Lulu." She greeted, all gloomy with her head bowed down. Lulu then looked at the moment where Donald was talking to Elaine near the last section of lockers.
Th rich girl sighed, "Now that you know Stella, I hate to discuss this but...it's gonna break your heart." She mentioned, "That girl over there is one of the cheerleaders, Elaine Withrow. She used to date the football quarterback, Hammerhead Rex but then she broke up with him after finding out that he cheated in a game of Capture The Flag, but not only that, she didn't like the way he treated her either so she chose to be with Donald. He even had a crush on her too. I heard they dated only once, not sure when was the last time they went out together."
Stella sees the overjoyed Elaine smiling happily as she hugged Donald tightly before the both of them walked away.
Tears started rolling in the dimwitted girl's eyes and then just ran off.
"Stella?" Lulu exclaimed in concern.
Stella runs off crying, covering her face with the card, making her way out of the building.
The next scene shows the football field and a heartbroken Stella sobbing from behind the corner of the bleachers. She then looked at the Valentine Card she worked so hard on for someone she liked so very much since the day she met him. Upset and angry, she threw the card as it swift away in the wind.
*sniffs*….*sighs.* She sits back down and starts crying again.
Melanie, along with Fat Albert and Big Bertha, were informed by Lulu to look for Stella so the three of them searched through the school then into the field as she heard a small sound coming from behind the bleachers. They walked over and crouched underneath, seeing Stella with her head buried in her arms, all teary and heartbroken.
"Stella, what's the matter?" Mel asked.
Stella calmed herself down, drying her tears that were streaming down her cheek with her sleeve and started to explain.
"Donald broke my heart!" She sobbed, placing her face into her hands. Melanie helped her up and had her sit her on the lower bleachers.
"I've made eyes at him ever since we first met!" She added with more tears rolling down her face.
"Listen." Melanie placing a hand on the poor girl's shoulder. "I know you're hurt but I think Donald just didn't know that you fell for him, he thought you guys were only friends.
"I assume that when he fell for Elaine, I think that's who he wanted to date." Fat Albert added. Stella then stops crying as her eyes widened.
"Lulu should've explained it a little better, though." Bertha added, rolling her eyes.
Soon, Estelle began to remember the time at The gang's football practice.
The girls were watching the gang's match from the wooden bleachers, as for Stella, she approached to Dumb Donald as practice was over.
"W-wow D-donald, you were incredible out there, I've never seen you anything like that before." She said in amazement, sitting on the first bottom bleacher.
"A-awe, Thanks."
Stella closed her eyes as she blushed so deeply until a female voice bleated out of nowhere.
"Oh, Donald!"
"Donald, Cheer practice is over, we can be on our way." Donald promised Elaine to walk her home after practice.
"I-I'm coming, Elaine."
The girl sitting behind him had a look of despair and envy but not to rude, otherwise Donald waved before he left as Stella smiled and waved back at him.
...
The dimwitted girl growled, "I know what I'm gonna do." She stands up, "I'm leaving here for good!" she shouts angrily.
"Wait, What! Stella, you can't just run away, you got friends, even the two of us, who care about you, we believe in our hearts that Donald really cares about you very much too."
"Well, he can go and enjoy his time with that Elaine girl, I don't need anybody anymore, I'm going to a different school and that's that!"
"Stella! Wait!" The three yelled in unison.
Stella runs off the field and right back into the school to get to her locker when suddenly, without further notice, she trips on the slippery, wet floor and falls right on her back.
She just laid there, all googly-eyed, not having the strength to get up. Fat Albert and Melanie immediately found her laying on the hallway floor.
"STELLA!" Melanie yelled as she and Albert ran up to where Stella was laying, "Stella, can you hear me?" "Stella?"
"Hey, Hey, Hey, let's go get the nurse." Fat Albert demanded as he and Bertha headed to the nurse's office.
"Hang in there, Stella, you're gonna be okay." Mel comforted her but Stella remained slight unresponsive. Soon, the girl starts to become unconscious then dozes off...
