Chapter 6 Summary: “Wednesday, January 8, 1986”

At the beginning of Ms. Salonga’s class, Vern intentionally involves Amanda in a conversation between himself and Fitch and mentions that he and Fitch frequent the arcade downtown. Fitch is incensed that Vern might invite her to his favorite place. Vern doesn’t extend a direct invitation, yet Amanda makes an appearance there that afternoon.

While Vern plays Joust, Amanda chats away, irritating Fitch, who is disgusted that she isn’t aware that one should remain quiet while someone else is in the middle of a game. When Vern approaches his crush Rachel Hill, he sends Marsh, who had been watching her play a game, over to Fitch. Marsh explains that he has been sent to rescue Fitch. Amanda tells Fitch that his face is red, and he feels an intense dislike for her settle over him.

Fitch excuses himself and begins to leave, but Rachel Hill and a few of her friends catch up with him on his way out. Rachel tells Fitch that he and Amanda make a cute couple. Before he can clarify that they are not a couple, Rachel and her friends leave. Marsh appears and tells Fitch that he wasn’t aware that Fitch had a girlfriend, and Fitch emphatically clarifies that Amanda is not his girlfriend.
