Olive: Trust me Fletcher, I can go home myself. I’m responsible and smart.

[Olive opens the door while a fast car passes by]

[Olive screams and immediately turns back and hugs Fletcher unknowingly]

Fletcher: [Olive still in his arms] I told you, you can’t go home alone, something bad might happen to you.

Olive: Fine, walk me home.

Fletcher: [Grabs Olive’s hand] let’s go

*Outside, dark night*

[Olive and Fletcher holding hands]

Olive: You know Fletcher, I missed this.

Fletcher: What do you mean?

Olive: You know before Chyna came, we used to be like this. Doing home works at your house, you walking me home. We used to be really close.

Fletcher: Yeah…. It’s just that when I saw Chyna, I just… I just liked her.

Olive: Well, you know I’m always here for you, you’re my best friend.

Fletcher: I know, that’s why I asked you to pretend to be my girlfriend.

Olive: Well, this pretending won’t work because Chyna Likes someone else.

Fletcher: Ohhh… Well, I don’t want to “break-up” yet.

Olive: Why not?

Fletcher: ‘Cause our deal was for a month

Olive: What’s the point? She doesn’t like you the way you like her.

Fletcher: Feelings Change, Olive, Feelings change.
