Chapter Three
I'm sure you all know already but Good Match reached 10K (it's actually at 10.1K already somehow since it just reached 10K yesterday or maybe the day before that).
So new chapter as a celebration.
Also, I've decided I'm going to put funny or stupid or meaningful videos that cheer me up at the top for this series since I want to make it more lighthearted. (It's drama-filled now but I want to settle it down) and I picked a Mr. Eckelstone video (he's one of the characters they use in the sketch show, Studio C). I seriously recommend it. Don't be surprised if you see more Studio C videos as the top video.

Biana sat on her bed, texting, when her door was slammed open by Fitz. She looked up for a second. "What?" She asked.
"Who are you texting?" he asked suspiciously.
"Doesn't matter," she muttered, continuing to type her message.
"Linh just told me that Tam said you have a boyfriend. When did this happen and why was I not informed so I could break his neck?" Fitz sat down next to her.
She quickly sent the message and put the phone down. "Look, he already had a girlfriend when we started out and they didn't actually break up until just recently because he's been trying to figure out how to let her down easily. We're going to wait another month or two to come out as a couple so it doesn't make it seem like a rebound relationship," she explained.
Fitz narrowed his eyes. "Okay, but who is it?"
She rolled her eyes. "I can't tell you yet. I can tell you that you know him and you guys don't hate each other."
Fitz nodded before standing up and walking out of the room. He decided to make the five minute walk over to Sophie and Keefe's shared dorm-apartment-place. He quickly knocked on the door but instead of Sophie or Keefe answering, it was Ashla on the other side of the door. "Oh, hey," he greeted awkwardly, running a hand through his hair.
She smiled stiffly. "Hey," she replied. "Look, just me, Sophie, and Jensi are hanging out right now. Unless you came here for her, which I doubt you did, Keefe isn't home."
"Do you know where he is?"
"He's out at Wal-Mart getting food for Sophie like the good whipped as hell husband he is."
Fitz nodded and quickly left without saying good bye. His relationship with Ashla strained a lot since Linh and Tam came to visit. He figured when they left everything would go back to normal, maybe, but Ashla was still acting weird around him.
When he got to Wal-Mart, he walked straight over to the food isles and saw Keefe putting a container of ice cream in his cart. He didn't have much, since there was only two of them in their household, but you could tell that he was mostly buying snacks, probably because all of their friends were constantly over their house eating their food.
"Hey," Fitz greeted, walking up.
Keefe rolled his eyes. "You never go here. Why did you stalk me?"
"I need your help with something," Fitz explained.
"Shoot," Keefe said, walking over to the checkout area.
"Biana has a secret boyfriend and I want you to find out who it is."
"Fitz. . . "
"I know, I know, you say your stalking and pranking days are over but please. For a brother?"
"You're not my brother."
"We're brothers by soul, man," Fitz tried. "Please, just look through her phone or something."
"If it's so simple, why don't you do it?" Keefe questioned, walking into a short line.
"She'll suspect it's me. She knows that you've retired from annoying people and just all-round being fun for Sophie."
Keefe scoffed. "I'm still fun."
"You're at Wal-Mart buying snacks for your wive."
Keefe shrugged. "I can't lie, you've got a point there," he replied. "Fine, I guess I'll try," he said as they walked up to the belt. "Now help me put this stuff up."
They started to put all the food up on the belt. "Do you have an idea who her boyfriend might be?"
"Fitz, I don't spend all day everyday thinking about your sister's love life." He smiled warmly at the cashier as she started to check things out.
"You know, I seem to recall you with Biana at one point."
"We were seven and you dared me to kiss her," Keefe replied. "Look, I have my own love life to worry about."
"You're happily married."
"And I'd like to keep it that way. Snooping through your sister's phone to find the secret boyfriend she's already promised to tell us the identity of won't get me any brownie points. I'll help, but I'm only helping because you hurt my ego."
Fitz rolled his eyes. "Thanks, man."

"Did you guys hear?" Sophie questioned, taking a sip of her hot chocolate.
"What?" Ashla responded.
"Dex and Marella broke up," she gossiped.
"No," Ashla replied.
"Yes, and they broke up because Dex was cheating on her with apparently someone we know," Sophie continued.
"No way."
"After they broke up and I ran into her and sat next to her while she cried about it," Jensi added.
"No way. Jensi, you're so into her."
"No, I just felt bad for her. Her boyfriend has been cheating on her for a month or two now apparently. Yeah, she-" He stopped and his eyes widened.
"What did you just figure out?" Sophie asked.
He turned to her. "Dex just recently broke up with his girlfriend who he has been cheating on."
Sophie jumped up. "And Biana's secret boyfriend just broke up with his girlfriend who he's been cheating on with Biana!" She finished for him.
"You literally read my mind!"
"I've been told in another life I could be a telepath," she said, grinning. "Biana is dating Dex!"
"But that's impossible. Dex and Biana have known each other for years. Why would they just now find each other attractive and get together."
"You've known Fitz all your life but you didn't really get into him recently. Why?"
"Well, he had Linh. I had my ex, Tony."
"Biana has been focused on Tam and Dex has been focused on Marella. They didn't truly notice each other until they ran into each other apparently."
"Hey guys," Keefe said, walking into the room holding a few bags. Fitz followed behind holding a few bags as well.
"We think we know who Biana's secret boyfriend is," Sophie exclaimed happily.
"Who?" Fitz immediately asked, interested in the answer.
"Dex!"
"Dizznee? No way. Marella."
"Dex and Marella just recently broke up over him cheating on her. It's so Dex," Ashla argued, forgetting about the rockiness of their friendship at that moment.
Fitz rolled his eyes. "My sister would never go for a Dizznee."
"Actually. . . "
Everyone turned around to face the voice coming from the doorway. "Biana."
"Fitz," she greeted. "Hey guys," she said, waving awkwardly.
"Tell us, please. We're dying to know!"
She sighed. "Promise not to tell anyone you know or what it is. Not even him. No one is supposed to know."
"Just say," Sophie said, rolling her eyes.
"It's. . ." She continued to bask in the tension of the room. She didn't want to tell them at all.
"Who? Just tell us who, Biana."
"Dex, okay!" She let out a frustrated sigh, scowling. "I've been together with Dex for the past few months and I'm in love with him."
Fitz's eyes narrowed and he looked at the door, knowing Dex was right across the hallway. "I'm going to kill him," he declared, walking towards the door.
Biana jumped up and stopped in front of him. "No, please don't. I really do love him."
"He was together with Marella for almost five years and you're telling me that he just threw that away? Uh, uh. He's got some weird agenda and I'm stopping this before it gets too hectic-"
"He loves me back, Fitz. There's no weird agenda. It's just that we love each other."
"But. . . But no one is allowed to fall in love with you and have you fall in love with them too!" He scowled. "You're not allowed to do this."
"Fitz, I'm a grownup just like you now and if I say I love someone then I'm going to be with this loved one. Maybe you should take the advice." She looked to Ashla for a split second before exiting the room.
Everyone stayed silent for a second before Fitz stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
"Well. . . That was climatic," Jensi muttered.
"Why did she look at me when she told him to take that advice?" Ashla questioned out loud.
"Not the time, Ashla," Sophie shot down. She turned to Keefe. "What's up with Fitz, lately?"
"He's on his man period," Keefe replied, rolling his eyes.
"Seriously," Sophie pressed. "What's up?"
"He's having a hard time with everything. He's having trouble in school, he thinks he wants to change his major but he knows how much more work that would take. He can't find a job anywhere. His sister is with someone who cheated on his last girlfriend."
Sophie nodded and rubbed Keefe's back soothingly. "I think I'm just going to go to sleep now," Sophie told everyone. "Please don't linger too long." She kissed Keefe's cheek before walking away towards their bedroom.
