Phoebe Del Oro was walking out of her house, getting some fresh air that was suggested by her father and she was walking when she saw Coop Burtonburger playing some basketball outside of his house. He was enjoying his moment outside his house and she decided to come to him, as usual and said to him when she reached to him "Hi Coop!"
"Gah Phoebe!" Coop Burtonburger screamed, his basketball was thrown into Old Lady Munson's yard, crashing her garden gnomes into pieces, he suddenly remembered what he did and looked at Phoebe with frustration.
"Hi Coop!" Phoebe said, grabbing his hand and asked "Do you wanna go out for a walk with me for fresh air? Are you excited that I'm getting a-" She was suddenly interrupted by his action, which he let his hand go from her and he said "Okay... Can I be one hundred percent honestly with you?" He asked, having his head down as he wasn't happy.
"Sure Coopy Cooper!" Phoebe Del Oro said, smiling to see him when he walked over to her and gave her a hard slap on her face. When she felt the motion, she fell down onto the green grass and asked "Coop? What's going on?"
Coop Burtonburger walked over to her with a serious face and asked "Do you know how much I'm getting sick and tired of your silliness!?" Phoebe Del Oro looked back at Coop Burtonburger and asked "What did I do?"
"I'M GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF YOU GETTING OF MY NERVES!" Coop Burtonburger shouted at her as loud as he could "DO I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT TO YOU!?" Phoebe Del Oro shook her head.
"EXACTLY!" Coop Burtonburger shouted again "NOW WHY DON'T YOU GO PICK ON SOMEONE ELSE!? I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND AND I WILL NEVER WILL! I ABSOLUTELY HAD ENOUGH OF YOU GETTING ON MY NERVES AND REFUSING TO LEAVE ME ALONE! I'M NOT INTERESTED IN BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU AND YOUR BIG MOUTH! YOU'RE SO INCOMPETENT LITTLE 10 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE A BOY HIS PRIVACY AND WHY DON'T YOU DO ME A FAVOR AND STOP ACTING LIKE I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND OR SOMETHING!? I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU! I NEVER WAS AND I ONLY LOVE FIONA!"
Phoebe Del Oro couldn't believe that he had karma on her plate, serving her a yelling in front of her face and before she could say anything, he gave out another shout "AND WHY DON'T YOU GO LEAVE ME ALONE AND AFTER I'M DONE WITH THIS FREAKING CONVERSATION! I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU OR YOUR SHENANIGANS ANYMORE! LEAVE ME ALONE AND NEVER BOTHER ME AGAIN OR YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT!"
Coop Burtonburger walked over to her and gave her one more slap across the face, he walked away with frustration before he looked back and said "Go deal with your problems on your own..." He walked away completely, disappearing from her sight and he was never seen again by her. Phoebe Del Oro couldn't believe that he reached his limit, it was just something that he needed to release but he didn't know what the consequences were in the future.
As Phoebe Del Oro got up, she walked away from the spot and went underneath a Maple tree, sat down and looked at the green grass, with a slap mark on her cheek and tears streaming down her cheeks. She spend over an hour in tears, whimpering softly as if she was trying to hide her crying from the outside world and everyone around her weren't paying attention to her at all. Some were gossiping about her crying being annoying to their ears and some people were salty.
After an hour, she got up and walked back to her house to see that her dad wasn't home, she went to her bedroom and sat down onto the bed. She just couldn't believe that Coop Burtonburger snapped at her, she got karma from him for getting on his nerves and that was bull.
She just wanted to be alone after that event.

...
Ever since that day, she stopped getting on Coop Burtonburger's nerves, ignoring him and even avoiding him at school wasn't enough to have some shenanigans on the recipe. She mostly see Coop Burtonburger happy with Fiona Munson but she knew that this was only the beginning of his consequences when ahe was talking with Millie Burtonburger, she was explaining how Coop Burtonburger snapped at her and slapped her across the face.
Millie Burtonburger was of course, unhappy about it and she had to tell her dad, Burt Burtonburger about what her brother have done to her, she couldn't wait to add karma onto his dish.
That afternoon, Phoebe Del Oro was walking home from school with a bandage on her cheek, she had her way home and sat down onto the couch. She laid down and did nothing for a minute until she decided to go outside for a walk, which she did and when she took a walk, she saw Dennis Chan hanging out with Coop Burtonburger, he was smiling as Coop Burtonburger was getting some fresh air around the atmosphere.
Phoebe Del Oro walked away from the scene, not wanting anything to do with that Burtonburger kid, she made her way to the park and sat down onto the bench. Head down and sad, regretting everything that she had done.
As she was sitting down, she heard some footsteps approaching her direction, she got scared and didn't want to look up, at all. She refused to look up, she kept her face covered before she suddenly looked up and saw that it was Dennis Chan walking to her.
She was surprised that Dennis Chan was walking to her, even though he had absolutely no idea about the incident that Cooper Davies Burtonburger added onto the shit cake, then again... Karma will always find a way to stab you in the back.
She was afraid that Dennis Chan will give her the same treatment but he didn't, he just walked over to her and asked "Are you okay Phoebe?"
"Yeah... I'm fine." Phoebe lied, she wasn't actually... She was only saying that to be left alone, she just wanted to have her privacy but she noticed that Dennis Chan didn't fell for her response and asked "Are you lying to me?"
Phoebe Del Oro shook her head, she was lying but she's trying to deny it until Dennis Chan sat down next to her and said "Phoebe... I know you're not okay, you can't keep bottling up your feelings." That's when she finally released her tears and finally said "I'm not okay!"
"What happened?" Dennis Chan asked, looking shocked and she finally said it "I was asking Coop Burtonburger some questions in astonishment when he slapped my cheek and yelled at me. Telling me that he had enough of my childish behavior and how he want me to leave him alone! I didn't understand what he felt! He just straight up yelled at me and told me to deal with my problems myself!"
That shocked Dennis Chan, he couldn't believe his own best friend slapped her across the face and yelled at her, hurting her feelings. As she was sobbing, Dennis Chan gave her a hug and said "I'm so sorry Phoebe for everything... I'll make sure he apologizes to you for what he did... I'll make sure of it."
After a few minutes, she finally managed to calm down and looked at his smile, seeing his smile made me blush... She suddenly fell in love, with him... She liked Coop Burtonburger but not anymore because of what he did, she looked at Dennis Chan and said "Thank you for being by my side."
"Sure." Dennis Chan said, happy to see her smile before the two got up and Dennis Chan asked Phoebe "Do you want me to bring Coop to you so he can apologize?"
"I do want an apology from him after what he did..." Phoebe Del Oro answered, he nodded as he said "I'll be right back." He walked away, only to come back with Coop Burtonburger.
He was being dragged by the ear, Coop Burtonburger was releasing some OWs when Dennis Chan let him go and told him "Tell her..."
"Tell her what?" Coop Burtonburger asked, Dennis said next "Either you tell her that you're sorry or I'm not going to be your friend anymore. Also..." He walked over to him and slapped his cheek, that shocked him so much that his own best friend gave him karma on a silver platter.
"There," Dennis Chan said "You have the same treatment as you gave her, now apologize." Dennis Chan walked behind Coop Burtonburger and pushed him in front of her, she was waiting for an apology and he gulped. Coop Burtonburger didn't want to apologize but let's just say that he going to say it.
"Ugh!" Coop Burtonburger said "Phoebe... I'm sorry." Phoebe Del Oro expected a better apology and asked "For slapping me?" Coop Burtonburger nodded, not meaning it but Dennis Chan can sense it and said "Say it as you mean it." Coop Burtonburger sighed, finally getting what he deserved and said "You're right... I could've done something else. I'm so sorry."
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to Phoebe." Dennis Chan said "Like, you hurt her... She wants an apology." Coop Burtonburger didn't want to apologize but he finally said "Okay fine! I'm sorry Phoebe for slapping you and yelling at you! Just leave me alone!" Coop Burtonburger ran away, leaving the two alone before they make eye contact.
"I don't think that he's actually sorry," Phoebe Del Oro said to Dennis Chan, who nodded and agreed. "I'll talk to his dad, I promise." He said, he walked over to her and asked "Do you mind if I give you a kiss?" That surprised Phoebe, a kiss?
A kiss?
She nodded, the two closed their eyes and began kissing for a little bit, lovely. After a minute, he let go and said "Don't worry about me, I'll take care of him. See you around Phoebe." He winked at her, making her blush and said "Sure. Bye Dennis." She walked away, feeling happy to have her smile back into her emotional support. Dennis Chan is so nice to her, how amazing.
She made her way home to relax and smile as the birds have her smile on set. She knows that Coop Burtonburger will get his karma, she knows it and she's looking forward for his real apology. As she was enjoying her rest, she remembered that moment with Dennis Chan and smiled, her love for Cooper Davies Burtonburger or Coop Burtonburger in the short term has disappeared and her love became to Dennis Chan.
Maybe Coop Burtonburger wasn't meant for her but she's happy to be with Dennis Chan.
