The next day of school, Mr. Richardson informs the Agarwals that the racial threat is a serious matter and they are trying to find out who is responsible for that. He informs them to be patient.
"So we heard what happened to you guys, that's aweful," Kathy said, while they walk in the center of the hallway.
"Do you guys know anyone who could have pulled something like this off?" Mala asked.
"There are so many bullies in this school," Kathy said.
"What about racist?" Trenti asked.
"Yeah that too," Kathy said.
"I hope you guys not messing with us or pulling any pranks on us just to pretend you guys like us but don't," Mala said, looking directly at Kathy giving her a sensitive expression.
"WHY WOULD YOU THINK SOMETHING LIKE THAT?" Kathy shouts with a sensitive tone.
"I was..." She said, getting cut off.
"NO WHY? WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT? WE WOULDN'T PRETEND THAT WE DON'T LIKE YOU, TRUST ME GIRL, IF WE DIDN'T LIKE YOU, WE WOULDN'T LET YOU JOIN OUR GROUP," she shouts.
"I'm sorry I said that, it's just... It's just that we don't know who to trust now in this school," Mala said.
"You can trust us, we got your backs, and we will help you guys find out what ass holes did this,"
"Thank you so much Kathy," she said.
"You're welcome, so are you guys still down for the party this Friday? It's Wednesday, you guys have to really make up your minds fast," Kathy said.
"I'M DOWN, DID YOU FIND ME A GIRLFRIEND YET JAKE?" He asked, out loud.
"No, but meet me after school, I have someone in mind," Jake said.
"NO HE WILL NOT MEET YOU AFTER SCHOOL JAKE, and the answer is still no, and plus we got a whole lot of issues that's on our hands now," Mala said, in a stern voice.
"Geez Mala you sound just like mommy," Trenti said.
"Well that's good, it should be that way," she said.
"I understand you guys have so much on your plates now, so we won't bother anymore about this dog on party again, and this won't change the fact that you guys are still our friends," Kathy said.
"We appreciate that Kathy, you're so sweet and so cool," Mala said, giving Kathy a hug before they enter inside the classroom.
