This is Friday, Dale is spending time at home, he convinces his mom that today he doesn't want to go school because he has an assignment to do which requires special time and he will recover his missing classes next week, "not feeling well" was not an option because she is a doctor.
Cody knows that Dale will not come to the school so he was relaxed but a little sad also. He wants to see him once at least from far away, he went to his house before school but he was in his bathroom, all windows of his room closed, he can hear noises but can't see anything, he waited for one look but after sometime Dale's parents left for works and Dale disappear from room to hall, now there's no chance to see him so Cody came school.
Until lunch time Cody was feeling a little anxious, he is missing his divine smell now, but can't do anything about it. He was sitting in the cafeteria with his friends but his mind was wandering around Dale house and how can he see him at least.
Ruth was also in the cafeteria, she can't act on the information Dale has given her, because she promised him and she doesn't know what actually happened. For instance she can observe them and see if there is anything wrong. All the members of F4 acting normal except Cody, he is not involved in their conversation or any other activity, he was pace out the whole time.
Cody attends all the classes but his mind is still around Dale and how can he see him at least. He decided to follow Ruth and see if she is going to Dale's house, that's how he can at least hear his voice.
Ruth was walking towards Dale's house, she felt someone was following her, she turned but no one was there.
Cody hides when he realizes Ruth is turning around, he decides to go ahead of her and wait at the spot to hear them anyway she will go to Dale's house.
Ruth rings the bell, Dale's mom opens the door. She came early today because Dale is at home and she wanted to spend time with her son and help him with his assignment.
Ruth was surprised to see Dale's mom and she doesn't know Dale's excuse to stay home. She just greed her and ask for Dale. Dale was in his room, she directly headed towards room, she hear loud music from Dale's room, she knocked on the door, Dale open door and invite her in they just chatted for while, Dale's mom instead Ruth to stay for lunch so she called her mom and open her bag and started her homework, Dale also started doing his homework, he called David for today's school homework.
After homework they listened to music and chatted until mom called for dinner. After dinner Ruth left for home, it was night so Dale walked her home, her home was not far from his house. While returning back he feels staring, but he can't see anyone, he starts running, he reaches in 2-3 minutes, he closes his door and goes to room and starts music to cool down.
Cody was happy, he watched his oxygen for nearly 10 min until Dale started running, but it is enough for Cody.
Dale never opened his room windows, he double checked locks after coming home.
This is the weekend so Dale's mom and dad discuss their case and stay in the hall so hall is not an option today he has to stay in the room for the next 2 days.
