Kodie: Gwen...well thanks to you I could successfully miss the extra classes at school today!

Gwen: I completely forgot about the classes...we had classes till 9:30-10:00 right?

Kodie: Yes... So boring!

*Next Day*

Aayden: Today Carwell will stay home with Gwen...

Kodie: I want to stay home!

Aayden: You know we are busy this week due to our next week's pre tests...you will be staying home many times...so you better go to school now!

Kodie: Fine!

Gwen and Carwell stayed home while everyone else were at their respective work stations.
Aayden got a call from Oak Grove High School.

Ms Rebecca: Hello! I request you to come to the school as soon as possible...it's something related to Gwen.

Aayden: I will be there... Thank you!

Aayden goes to the school.

Ms Rebecca: Mr. Aayden! I am afraid that your sister was lying to us...

Aayden: Mam can you please explain me the matter...

Ms Rebecca: Yesterday, the school was supposed to function till 9:30 pm as we had to complete a lot to avoid delay in examination due to the upcoming annual event. There was a break in at the school...somebody got into the school.

Aayden: That is serious!

Ms Rebecca: Indeed! Thankfully nothing was taken and no one was harmed but the culprit was not caught either. However we checked yesterday's camera footage to know more about the break in so we found out that... Gwen did not actually get injured due to running in the premises but she was beaten up by 2 girls... We found out who they were and they were punished...but we did not take this to higher authority otherwise it might go to the police as well...

Aayden: Yes...mam... I understand!

Ms Rebecca: This is a sensitive situation and I would like you to deal with it quiet safely... I mean a teenage brain is very complicated so it would be better if you don't directly ask her about this...there might be some personal reason that she tried to hide it from us...

Aayden: Alright mam... Thankyou!

Aayden was worried about Gwen. After going home he told everyone about this as Kodie was playing with Clover in Gwen's room. Everyone acted normal and had dinner together. Later Aayden decided to tell about this to Kodie as well.

Kodie: If you don't mind I would like to speak to Gwen about this... We are around the same age and understand each other well...

Aayden: Alright... We could give it a try but don't tell her anything about the footage...

Kodie: I am staying home tomorrow so I will speak to her that time...

*Next Day*

Everyone leaves  to work but Kodie and Gwen were home...and because Gwen would feel bored Kodie was playing with her and Clover in Gwen's room.

Kodie: Gwen can I ask you something?

Gwen: yes!

Kodie: Tell me the truth...how did your ligament tear?

Gwen: What do you mean... I told you!

Kodie: I thought we had no secrets between us?

Gwen: So you know?

Kodie: Why didn't you tell us? Atleast me!

Gwen: Don't tell BB... He will be worried about it!

Kodie: Alright! But tell me the whole thing!

Gwen: I didn't want you all to get worried about me so I did not tell you the truth and they would also be punished....

Kodie: Well they deserve to be punished!

Gwen: I was going back to the class but they saw me...pushed me and started kicking me... I asked them what was the problem... She had a picture of us... I don't know from where did they get our picture...but they were not in a mood to listen to me...they were shouting at me to stay away from you... I told them that it is just a misunderstanding but...

Kodie: Tell me who were they?

Gwen: That doesn't matter...

Kodie: It does...look if you don't tell I will somehow come to know...so this is not a solution!

Gwen: Hannah and Lidiya...(hesitant)

Kodie: Hannah and Lidiya??? This is all my fault! Rockey!!!

Gwen bursts into tears.

Gwen: I am always trying to be good with everyone...but nobody likes me...as if I am an evil spirit! Hannah sent Justin also... All I want is...someone to talk to...just a normal life! What did I do? What is my mistake?

Kodie hugs her.Clover looked sad and started liking Gwen.

Kodie: Gwen it's ok...its not your mistake...you have me and Clover and all the others... I know you have seen a lot...

After some time Gwen was playing with Clover and Kodie was cooking something for themselves. The doorbell rang. Kodie was surprised as nobody was supposed to come at that time. He opens the door and to his surprise it was their school Deen.

Kodie: Good Afternoon Ma'am!

Deen: Good Afternoon...Kodie! You did not go to school today...hmm you shouldn't be missing school or else you will fall short of attendance again!

Kodie: Yes ma'am... Everyone else were busy so I took a leave to stay with Gwen...

Deen: Alright you can take leave until Gwen starts coming back to school... You are a good friend! Can I meet Gwen? I need to talk to her...

Kodie: Sure! This way mam!

Kodie takes the Deen to Gwen's room and continues his work...

Gwen: Hello Mam!

Deen: Hello Gwen. How are you?

Gwen: I am good! What brings you here mam?

Deen: Did you hear about the school break in?

Gwen: Yes ma'am... Kodie told me about it...

Deen: You should be careful...

Gwen: Why should I be careful?

Deen: In recent days is there something which makes you feel odd...like you are being followed...or something?

Gwen: Not really but...when I was living with Mr. Smith I was kidnapped but...however from that time I live with BB and others... Someone followed me after that and we reported that to cops...but I think it's just a coincidence...

Deen: Why didn't you tell me before?

Gwen: Why mam...what is the problem?

Deen: This is clear... They found you! You are in danger!

Gwen: Who found me? Ma'am can you please be clear?

Deen gets a call.

Deen: Gwen I have to leave now...be careful... You are very lucky...but luck always doesn't work... I will increase the security and keep this watch...you can call anyone with this, anytime or send me an SOS signal...don't ever remove this!

Gwen: Mam I don't understand!

Deen: You should believe me... Now I have to leave... Take care!

Gwen: Alright mam! Get home safely! Thank you!

After Deen leaves... Kodie gets some spaghetti.

Kodie: Hey! Look what I got for you!!

Gwen: Spaghetti??? Wow! You know to cook?

Kodie: I am a chef! If I wouldn't be a singer I would be a Chef!

Gwen: Oh really?

Kodie: Clover! Come on! I got you your favorite!!! Dog food!

Clover barks with joy! Gwen takes a bite of spaghetti.

Gwen: Wow! It's good... Did you taste it?

Kodie: Not yet! Give me a bite!

Gwen: No! It's mine!

Kodie: Your tiny tummy cannot accommodate this much! Give me!

Kodie takes a bite.

Kodie: Yuck! It's disgusting! How can you tell it tastes good!

Gwen: Atleast Clover liked his food!

Kodie: It's OK! For back up I ordered spaghetti...

Gwen: Thank God!

Kodie gets the spaghetti.

Kodie: This tastes much better!

Gwen: It's good! I mean real good!

Kodie: What did the Deen tell? I didn't expect her to be here... She gave me leave till you come back to school!

Gwen: Really?

Kodie: Yes!

Gwen: I did not understand anything...she was very unclear... She kept repeating... " Stay safe! You are in danger! They found you! "

Kodie: Oh! That is creepy!

Gwen: I feel the same...and she looked quite serious! She gave me this watch... She told that I can send her some SOS signal or call anyone if I am in trouble!

Kodie: Wow! It's cool! But all of this is so confusing and mysterious! You think we should find out?

Gwen: I think we should!

Kodie: But not now...after you are alright!

Gwen: OK!
