Plot[]
A new girl named Fred Bitters comes to Fala D. Roosevelt Elementary School and she bullies Scott so much that he decides to drop out of school, much to Leonard's surprise. However, in Scott's absence, she turns her attention to Leonard, who contemplates dropping out of school too. After some pep talk from Mr. Jolly, he and Scott decide to confront her, when she admits that she feels out of place since she's always going from school to school, due to her father's job requiring the family to move frequently. They tell her that in order to have a true friend, one has to act like one, and not to bully them or buy them things. The boys forgive her and offer to be her first true friends, but she rejects them, due to not wanting to be friends with dorks.
