But they make sure to not tell Cassandra that Sal is getting bullied. Vito & Sal asked Cassandra, “Momma Marcano, at our school, we have bullying. I wanted to ask, how do we stop someone from bullying someone else.” Cassandra said “ Well, you should inform an adult. Do not ever try to take on the bully by yourself. Always inform an adult.” Vito & Sal then said “ THANK YOU!” They then waltzed back into the room and talked about their plan.

Assistance: Cassandra was suspicious because Sal has never said anything about bullying to his mom. So Cassandra said “ Sal! Come here right now.” Sal left the room without Vito. He then told his mother “WHAT? WHAT'S WRONG?!” Cassandra then said “ I know you are being bullied. You need to tell me everything about this now before I call the principal!” Sal then told his mother the whole story

Departure: The next morning, Sal and Vito leave their homes and meet by the bus stop. They then walked to school and talked about their plan and the advice Cassandra gave. But Sal was still terrified to go to school to see Lincoln. It was 7:30 am and the bell rang at 8:00 am. So Sal and Vito started running to school so that they wouldn’t be late. They arrived at 7:45. They then went to their 1st period. Once nutrition came, Vito went with Sal to his locker. They then saw Lincoln behind them.
