When Kacper and Dino came out of Kacper's room, they saw the girls in the living room, talking about something and showing their phones to each other. As they came downstairs, the girls stared at them, looking them up and down before returning to what they were doing.
"Hi!" Dino said to the girls. Kacper hit Dino's waist with his elbow because he would never say something like that.
"Hi!" Natisha said with a smile. Enya and Lis also looked at them in a friendly way, except for May.
"Mind if we join you?" Dino asked, and Kacper looked at him in surprise.
"Sure!" Natisha, Enya, and Lis said happily, except for May, who glared at her friends with anger.
May shot an angry look at Kacper, and Kacper grabbed Dino's hand. "Let me show you the outside, Dino," Kacper said, trying to drag Dino away from the girls. It seemed like Kacper was scared of May.
"Come on, Kacper. We have all day for that. What's wrong with meeting some new friends?" Dino said, acting like he was a cool guy.
"They are my friends," May replied.
"Then you can also be our friend," Dino said with a smile.
"I don't want to," May said firmly.
"Wow, you are boring," Dino said, and May blushed with anger. "Looks like the other three girls are fun," he added.
"Kacper, can you take your boyfriend away with you?" May said angrily.
"It's okay. Let them join us, May," Natisha said.
"No," May insisted firmly.
"It's okay, girls. We can meet later. Maybe after school," Dino said while Kacper dragged him outside.
"Why do you behave like that? That's so stupid," Kacper said.
"Your step sister is such an ass, bro," Dino replied.
"I told you she's rude," Kacper said.
"But you never said she's an ass," Dino pointed out.
Both of them started to walk around the beautifully designed old-style garden. It was stunning, with lots of roses.
"Why is everything in the old style? Is your stepfather 70 years old?" Dino asked.
"Not that old. I think he inherited this house from his parents or grandparents," Kacper explained.
"So the house is old?" Dino asked.
"Yes, it is old."
"Are there ghosts, too?" Dino asked.
"No, I haven't seen any," Kacper said.
"Maybe they're scared of May and don't want to come into anyone's sight," Dino joked.
"That's a possibility," Kacper said, and both of them laughed.
"I feel bored now. Maybe let's go to the lakeside, eat some ice cream, and drink some fruit juice," Dino suggested.
"Okay then. I also feel bored staying here alone," Kacper agreed.
Both Kacper and Dino got into Dino's car and drove away.
"Oh, they left," Enya said in a worried tone.
"Why were you rude to them? They seemed fun," Lis said.
"I don't like his attitude," May replied.
"What's wrong with his attitude? He's cool," Natisha said.
"We missed a chance to find boyfriends," Enya added.
"Are you guys talking about Kacper too?" May asked with a smirk.
"What's wrong with him? He's not that bad looking," Lis said.
"So you like him? He's a loser," May scoffed.
"What's his friend's name?" Enya asked. May felt a bit jealous seeing her friends interested in Kacper's friend.
"I don't know. I didn't ask," May said.

Meanwhile Johnson's .....
"I'm done waiting for that idiot at this lakeside every weekend," Emily said to Robert with anger.
"You think I like this? It's all your fault. You had to keep an eye on that brat, but you didn't," Robert snapped back angrily.
"Now it's my fault? Why don't you take him to school in your car then?" Emily screamed. It was a good thing there was no one around.
"Aren't you the one who asked me not to take him in the car, you stupid woman?" Robert blamed Emily. Neither of them had fought like this before. Emily had used to be the man in the relationship before Dino left. But after Dino left and all the problems started, everything changed. The mysterious woman who had been paying them to keep Dino got mad at the Johnsons and stopped paying them. Robert got a job because of that woman. He wasn't a smart man, and as soon as she cut all connections, he lost his job.
After Robert lost his job, he lost his friends, and everyone started treating him like a loser. He began to drink and smoke, spending the little money they had. Emily kept blaming Robert for Dino's departure, while Robert blamed Emily. At the same time, Christy was struggling in front of her friends because of her parents' sudden financial problems. None of her friends knew they were having issues, but some had already suspected something was wrong. Christy had to cancel so many parties, saying she was busy, but in reality, she didn't have money like before.
"Aren't you the man of the house? It's up to you to make decisions, regardless of what I say," Emily said.
Then they continued to argue until Emily saw something.
"Is that him? Look, is that him?" Emily said to Robert, who turned his head to see whom she was pointing at. He saw Dino with another boy getting into a car. It was a Porsche Macan, and Emily's mouth dropped open in surprise, revealing all her teeth inside the back of her mouth.
"Is that... is... look... look... is... how... how is he? How dare he?... h... how?" Emily stretched her arm toward Dino and started muttering, glancing at Robert and the car from time to time.
"Oh my lord," Robert said, staring at Dino's car.
"Did he steal it? Maybe he stole it! There's no way he can have that kind of car. Let's go and catch him, Robert," Emily insisted. But they were too late. The Porsche sped away before they could even move an inch.
"It's all your fault! Why didn't you catch him? You should have run fast and caught that brat!" Emily screamed at Robert.
"Then why the hell didn't you do that, bitch?" Robert shot back and walked away.
"You dog! You are a DOOOOOOOOOOOOOG!" Emily screamed at Robert.
