Summary
Damian Desmond, Emile Elman, and Ewen Egeburg look at the school bulletin and see that the Imperial Scholar get-together will start next week. Although the event has nothing to do with the boys, they eagerly discuss how they will eventually become Imperial Scholars. Peering from the corner, Anya Forger watches the group and recaps her goal to become an Imperial Scholar to help Loid Forger with Operation Strix. However, Anya has kind of given up on earning eight Stella Stars, having been discouraged by her lack of progress in learning or sports. As such, Anya resolves to Plan B: befriending Damian, which isn’t going so well either. While Anya thinks about this, Damian’s group sees Anya staring at them; Damian tells her to stop staring, while Emile tells her to go away.

Anya expresses her frustration, and Becky Blackbell appears and does the same, albeit for a different reason. Becky says she knows how Anya feels as love is hard to communicate. Her statement prompts Anya to think about the things she loves: Loid, Yor Forger, Bond Forger, peanuts, and cartoons. When Anya starts connecting it to Damian, she bluntly denies it, and Becky assumes she is being bashful. Becky then decides to help make Damian fall for Anya. Becky proceeds to tell her that boys are easily fooled by outward appearances, so if Anya dresses up all cute, then Damian is sure to fall for her. Thus, Becky and Anya go on a shopping trip on the weekend.
