Dina: Nina we have to talk. Nina: Leave me alone! Melissa: Please hear us out. Nina: I heard what you have to say. Melissa: You don’t understand. We know that you didn’t hit my mother. Dina: We can’t tell you how we found out but we did and I’m really, really sorry for ever doubting you. Melissa: That goes double for me. *Nina just shakes her head in disbelief* Nina: I really cannot believe you two. I begged and begged you to believe me and you wouldn’t.

But I won't have you be rude to my mother. *Dina just simply storms off* Melissa: DINA!!!! Nina: Nice one Mel! *goes after Dina* *Melissa lets out a heavy sigh* Later on, Melissa talks to her mother about her behaviour towards Dina and Nina. Melissa: That behaviour is not on Mum.

Mrs Powell: I would like that. Over at Leon's house, Leon's father is in Leon's bedroom talking to him. Mr Longbottom: Are you okay son?

As I turned my back, one of them covered my mouth while the other tried to drag me into the car. I tried to fight back but I couldn't due to my pregnancy.

If Leon didn't save my life, I don't know what would've happened. *starts to sob* *Melissa hugs Dina* Nina: Did you get the registration plate and what kind of car it was?

You have to report it to the police! Dina: All right. *goes over to the phone and rings Civic Police Station* Hello. My name is Dina Caliente and I would like to report an incident.

Melissa: No. They only tried to drag her into the car. Kat: I'm dreading tonight's 6pm news. Alison: Me too. By the way, I was thinking that we never talk to any of the male students here. Sylvia: Ali has a good point. We don't never socialise with the male students. Just the females. Kat: That's because they're into cars, sport and S-E-X! Alison: Why don't we talk to some male students at lunch. Because we have to do our first assignment at recess. Melissa: That's a good idea. Lolly: Are we doing our work girls? Melissa: Yes we are Lolly. Lolly: I hope so. *smiles* *the girls continue to work. At lunchtime, Alison and her friends try and socialise with a group of male students.

Alison: Kat! *to Michael* She's kidding. Michael: Right. Kat: I was just making statement Alison. *smiles* Alison: We should do this more often. Jordan: You're right. We should. Meanwhile, Leon is in the school library when Hayley approaches him. Hayley: Leon! What is going on? You have been acting strange all day. Leon: No I haven't. Hayley: You refused to play football with the boys. You don't normally do that. Leon: Maybe I was sick and tired of playing. Did that ever cross your mind? *Hayley looks at him bewildered* Leon: I'm sorry. Something is bugging me. *they sit down at a desk* Last night, I witnessed an attempted kidnapping. Hayley: Oh my god! What happened? Leon: Dina Caliente was approached by these two men who tried to kidnap her. I punched one of them in the face before she bit the other's hand. When I got home, I just had too many what ifs in my head and couldn't get to sleep. I don't normally talk about my feelings but that incident deeply hurt me because I consider Dina and her sister as friends. *Leon looks like he is about to cry* Hayley: I'm so sorry Leon. I never knew you were so upset and hurt about it. Leon: At least I saved her. *Hayley and Leon then embrace* When TAFE has finished, Sylvia gets ready for her first day at Harleys.

Amy: I'm not. It's just that I feel really bad about what happened to Dina. Sylvia: It's not your fault Amy. Amy: I should've just walked home with her. Sylvia: You need to stop blaming yourself. *Nina walks into the diner* Nina: Hi ladies. A strawberry milkshake please. Sylvia: Coming right up. Amy: How's Dina? Nina: *shakes her head* Not good. She's scared to leave the house. Amy: I just feel so bad Nina. Nina: It's not your fault. *gives Amy a hug* Amy: I hope those pricks get what coming to them. Sylvia: I hope so too. *to Nina* Here's your milkshake. Nina: Thanks Sylvia. *sits at a table* Sylvia: See Amy. It's not your fault. Amy: I know. I feel so much better now. *Sylvia and Amy laugh* That evening, Alison is over at Melissa's house watching the news and there is a report on Dina's attempted kidnapping.
