On the way to school, Theodore and Jeanette were chatting. "So, what happened between you and Simon?" asked Jeanette. Theodore who was busy thinking about what happened ten minutes ago, in his house but was interrupted. "Um well, he wanted to tell Dave some something that I told him he couldn't tell anyone because... Wait actually I don't want to talk about it" responded Theodore. Jeanette could tell that he was having a rough morning so, she decides to keep quiet. All of a sudden, Theodore's phone rings but he doesn't answer. Jeanette was dumbfounded to why he was ignoring his phone so she questions him "aren't you going to get that?" and he tells her "I don't have to because I know who it is and I don't want to talk anyone right now because I have to much stuff in my mind" Jeanette was astounded to hear him talk like that because, Theodore was usually a sweet innocent boy who was very selfless and loved talking to his friends.

His phone stops ringing as he kept his eyes down on the sidewalk but all of a sudden, he talks to her "Simon told me last night that you came home late and that you were acting weird, did something happened?" Jeanette was caught off guard by that question and now the flashbacks from last night were returning. "Oh yeah, I went to the library, and I was doing a lot of homework that I didn't feel time flying" responded Jeanette. Theodore looks from the sidewalk to her and questions her "oh I see, anyway were you acting weird though?" Jeanette tells him "uh I guess" she was now hoping that he wouldn't ask anymore questions that had to do with yesterday. "Um what's with the sweater?" he asked. Jeanette was confused but then realizes he was asking about the sweater she as wearing. "Oh this well, I didn't have any good dress to wear so, I decided to wear this" she replied before putting her hoodie over her head. Theodore looks at her up and down which made Jeanette feel uncomfortable because, that look reminded her of the guy, who raped her. Theodore notices the look on her face and he could see that she didn't like how he was looking at her. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel you uncomfortable. It's just that your sweater looks good on you" said Theodore which shocks Jeanette. She was thinking that somehow he smelled her fear and discomfort. "Um it's okay" she whispers but he didn't hear her.

After ten minutes of walking, Jeanette noticed that Theodore kept touching his stomach so she questions him "are you feeling good?" Theodore removes his hand and says "uh yeah I'm fine" Jeanette cold see the nervous look on his face and worriedly questions him again "are you sure?" and he nods. In few minutes, they finally arrived at the school but there was only a few cars in the parking lot which, meant that not much people had arrived. As Theodore and Jeanette approach the entrance, they see Armando and his brothers standing there talking and their backs were facing the two. Fear strikes Theodore and Jeanette as the two started to walk back.

"Um Jean, I think I dropped my phone on the way here, so I'm going to look for it. I'll be back" said Theodore before running away. "Wait, I'm coming with you" said Jeanette as she chased him. The green clad kept running until he finds a portable bathroom next to a house that was being built. He looks for red sign on the door to see if it was occupied and it wasn't. He opens the door and just as he was going to close the door, Jeanette puts her hand in the way and goes in as well before shutting the door. Theodore was so astounded by her strange behavior. "Jean, what are you doing here? Get out" he shouted. Jeanette didn't know what to tell him. She didn't have an explanation for her suddenly barging in. "Um uh, I'm so sorry um" Jeanette kept stuttering as Theodore realized why she ran with him. "Jeanette, are you avoiding Armando and his brothers to?" he asked. Jeanette didn't want to lie anymore because the guilt was eating her from inside so she decides to come clean. "Yes" she said which shocks Theodore because he thought that he was the only being bullied. "Really, well I'm hiding from them to" he said before frowning.

Jeanette was shocked as well because she wasn't expecting for Theodore to know the real side of the Marley brothers. "Wait, why are you hiding from them?" asked Jeanette as she started to think that they did to him what they did to her. "Before I tell you, promise me that you won't tell a soul" said Theodore sounding serious. Jeanette tells him "I promise but, if it's really something bad then you don't have to tell me because I don't like being nosy" Theodore chuckles at that comment and says "well, Justin, the youngest brother of the Marley's, he likes Eleanor to and he wants me to break up with her so he can have a chance of being her boyfriend and if I don't break up with her, he told me he will hurt the ones that I care about and I have until today to break up with her. Also he took the necklace Ellie gave me and he hit me twice, look ill show you" Theodore lifts his sweater and shows her the two bruises.

Jeanette was so shocked, angry and sad by what she was seeing. She felt bad for him because she knew that Theodore didn't deserve to be treated like that. She knew that not even his brothers would hit him. Theodore puts his sweater down and says "so, why are you-" "Theodore, please listen to me, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, do what Justin tells you. He's is not interested in Ellie like in a way that a guy would love a girl when he gains feelings for her, no. He wants something else from her" Jeanette cut him off as she squeezed his shoulders.

Theodore was a bit afraid by her sudden behavior but he knew that she wasn't upset at him. "Wait, how do you know that he doesn't love her and if he doesn't, what does he want from her?" asked Theodore. Jeanette didn't know if she should tell him. She wanted to but, she didn't know if he was to young to hear that kind of stuff. "Um well, I can't answer your first question but, I can tell you that he wants to do something Eleanor, that some guys in this world do to girls against their will" responded Jeanette but, Theodore still didn't understand her. "What do you mean?" he asked her. Jeanette puts her hands in her pocket and shrugs.

Theodore was still confused but, he decides to ask her something else. "So, why are you hiding from Armando and his brothers as well?" Jeanette ignores that question and says "Theodore, you have to tell someone that Justin is bullying you, he stoled your necklace, and that he threatened to hurt others if you don't obey him, please promise me that you will tell-" "well I told Simon, he knows to" Theodore cut her off which shocks her. "Wait, Simon, knows and he hadn't done anything to help you-" "I told him last night and he was furious and he told me that he was going to have a talk with Justin" Theodore cut her off again. Jeanette calmed down a bit when she heard that and says "oh well, that's good, anyway I think we should get going beause-" "wait, you didn't answer my question, why are you hiding from the Marley brothers? Is one of them bullying you as well?" Theodore cut her off for the third time.

Jeanette was nervous and she was afraid of how he would react even though he was a boy who had a big heart and was her sisters sweet boyfriend. "Um, yeah one of them is bullying me" she lied. Theodore's jaw drops and questions her "dear heavens, who is it?" he asked. "It's Hen, Hen, Henry" she replied. Theodore was getting angry for hearing that because, he hated to see the ones he cared about, in pain. Theodore grabs both of her hands which sends chills down Jeanette's spine and he tells her "Jean, I'm so sorry to hear that, and I wish I could somehow help you but, I'm scared as well" Jeanette smiles a bit and says "anyway, we have to go now because my sisters and your brothers might have arrived and are looking for us" Theodore nods and they head back to the entrance.
