The director of the school tells Jan that he will live with Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins. Suddely, a guy comes to Jan. He is Mario. Mario also lives with Mr and Mrs. Hawkins. They go together to the house. After supper, Mario invites Jan to go to a disco in town in Saturday evening. Mario will go there with his girlfriend. However, on Saturday Mario cannot go to there beacuse he is ill. He asks Jan to go to a disco in the town.

In the evening, Jan goes to the disco. Jan wants to dance but there is no girl who wants to dance with him. Suddenly, a pretty girl who her name is Ruth Clark, steps on his feet and her drink splits on Jan’s trousers. However, Jan is not angry, he is very happy because the girl is willing to dance with him. Ruth says to Jane that her boyfriend has left her because he has found another girl.

On Sunday, Jan and Ruth go to a coffee bar. Suddenly, a tall man with a leather jacket who his name is Bill comes to their table. He looks unfriendly and he asks Jan to go out because he wants to talk with Ruth. Ten minutes later, Bill comes out. Bill turns out Ruth’s boyfriend.He comes there because he is very angry seeing her with the boy. On the road, Ruth says that she loves Jan very much.

The next Firday afternoon, Jan goes to Ruth’s house for tea. Ruth’s parents seem unkind and dislike Jan that’s why he decides to go home. Mrs. Clark says that she does not agree if Ruth is with Jan because he does not speak English fluently and he is not rich.
