When Paul went to the drama club, he saw some familiar faces. His mga kaibigan were there. There were also some acquaintances he had been with in school plays in the past. He saw one girl who he had not seen before. She kept her long, brown hair in a ponytail, and she wore blue jeans. She seemed laid back and fairly quiet. Was she the one for him? At the very least, they could possibly be good friends. She took notice of him too. She said, "Hello." He thought she seemed friendly enough, so he sinabi "hello" back. She said, "I'm Maeve. What's your name?" He said, "I'm Paul. Are you new here?" She said, "Kind of. I came here last year, but I wasn't involved in any clubs or anything. To tell you the truth, I was scared." He said, "Don't worry. You're ligtas here, Maeve." She smiled. She said, "Thanks, Paul." Pretty soon, it was time for the tryouts for the upcoming school play. Paul and Maeve were chosen to go first. They were asked to play out a scene where one character was injured, and the other character helped the injured character. Paul naturally was able to pretend to limp. Maeve was able to convincingly pretend to be concerned, wanting to help. This impressed Paul. It seemed that Maeve was equally impressed with Paul's ability to pretend to be injured. After the tryouts ended, Paul and Maeve were told that they both got the lead. They congratulated each other. Paul said, "I'm not surprised you got the lead. You're good at acting." Maeve smiled. "I say the same to you. I look pasulong to rehearsing with you." He said, "Likewise." After a pause, he said, "I know we just met, but would you like to go out for hapunan later?" She said, "Certainly. I'd like to get to know madami about you." He said, "I'd like to get to know you too." Paul couldn't wait to tell Hank that he got a date. He wondered if maybe Hank got a petsa as well.

Carl finished telling his story. John said, "This was a very touching story. I understand what you've been through." He wiped a tear from his eye. Peter had been crying, too. He said, "You're living a good life, mate." Stan, who rarely cried, was also crying. He said, "Yes, especially compared to what you've been through." Allen said, "I'm really glad you are living a good life." Erin and Lola hugged Carl. They admired how bravo he was for telling his story. Erin, of course, sort of knew what he went through. After all, she had been abused sa pamamagitan ng her grandfather. Paul placed a hand on Carl's shoulder and said, "You're a bravo man, Carl. You're a bravo man." Carl said, "Thanks for supporting me while I told my story. I'm glad that things have turned out for the better."
