When the weekend passed, the four brothers have gone to their high school, some weren't in a good mood, while others were a bit happy. Roman and Roby haven't spoken a word about the scene on that Friday to their lost brother and sister because they do not know how to put it in a way to make the mother of Roman not be sent into a bad light and be sent to a psychiatric hospital.
Roby has told his brother and sister about Roman, he wasn't telling them about the whole incident he had heard in the apartment. But even if he would try to tell them, he wasn't having the whole context. He only heard a bit of the conversation of Roman and his adoptive mother.
"How was your weekend?" asks Robert to Roby as the three of the three brothers are walking on the stairs to school.
"Good. Yours?" asks Roby to Robert.
"Good." says Robert.
While the two brothers and the sister are walking toward their classroom, they observe a familiar figure, in the hallway who is talking with the homeroom teacher. The person who is talking with homeroom teacher is the adoptive mother of Roman, and net to her is Roman, who is feeling a little embarrassed by the mother who is arguing with the homeroom teacher about the moving of her dear adopted son from this classroom.
"But, ma'am." says the homeroom teacher. "I cannot do it."
"Why not?" asks the mother of Roman irritated. "Why he cannot move from this classroom?"
"It is up to him." says the homeroom teacher looking at Roman. "Right?"
"…Yes." says Roman feeling scared.
"I know what is best for my son! So, I demand you to ignore my kid, and listen to me. I know better than him!"
The Roman's adoptive mother proceed to yell and tell his homeroom teacher a few made up lies of why her son is aggressed to his classmates and bullied by his friends. But the homeroom teacher, he knows his pupils won't ever think of doing that. He doesn't believe the lies of the adoptive mother on how Roman is bullied by his lost brothers and sister, and he won't even believe the fact that Roman's classmates would be doing that, especially when the four kids are in the same group every tie they're in school, and even outside. He noticed them that time in Strand Park when he was on "date".
After about five minutes of yelling, another teacher appears. The good thing about the appearance of the second teacher is that this is the second Romanian language teacher, and this teacher is the vice principal. The Vice principal is talking with the adoptive mother and with the homeroom teacher about this case, then the vice principal, observing how the person is speaking incoherent about the reasons why her adopted son should move from this classroom, and lies of being bullied, he started to get the idea that this person is crazy.
"Ma'am." says the Vice Principal trying to calm the person. "We'll be looking into your case and see if your son would be moved into another class. But on another school, it would be unlikely."
"Why?!" she yells the mother of Roman to Vice Principal.
"That is the procedure, ma'am. We are not allowed to make a transfer of your son to another school that soon. And like the sir said." says the Vice Principal pointing the homeroom teacher of Roman. "It is not up to you, ma'am. Your son has to be sure to move. Besides. You are his adoptive mother. You may have rights, but we know what is the best of kids."

Then, the other three brothers are going to class, they were hidden at the stairs and listening to whole conversation of his lost brother.

***
When the first period has ended, the break comes, and the teacher is leaving the classroom. When the teacher has left, Robert, Roberta and Roby are staying near Roman bench and are talking to him about the whole incident.
"Roman." says Robert to Roman who is feeling a little afraid. "What was the whole thing at the hallway?"
"Oh. You've seen it." respond Roman embarrassed by this.
"What is the deal at your house, bro?" asks Roby to Roman.
"How much you've heard?" asks Roman to Roby, feeling a little embarrassed by this.
"I've heard a lot."
"Okay… My mother. I mean, adoptive mother. My adoptive mother is a bit overprotective."
"A bit." says Roby surprised. "She literally yelled a lot of bad things about you and us. I've heard it in the hallway. Even a neighbour told me while I was my way out that the adoptive mother of yours is having mental issues."
"Okay. My adoptive mother is controlling my life. I admit it. She controls my life." says Roman feeling a bit relieved he can tell this to someone he knows. "She always implied her idea to shut myself and be an outcast to people around me since I was a little kid. Because of her I've never had friends in kindergarten, primary school and middle school. And never been invited to banquette."
"That's awful." says Roberta a bit dramatic. She was invited by seven boys from different class back in eight class to a normal banquette, and she was going to all seven of them.
"Yes. And the worst part was. I haven't been bullied. My mother paid my classmates and any other kid from my school to bully me, to have a reason why to move me over to another class or school."
"What the?" asks Robert and Roby.
"Why would she go that far?!" asks Roberta surprised by this.
"She wanted to keep me alone to society, not communicating with anyone, not having friends or something like that. I don't really know."
"That women should not be allowed to be your mother."
"Call child supports, bro." says Roby who is usually not the type to be this smart, but the man knows Romanian literature.
"I've tried, but it is no use. They only came, see me and my mother house, then they've left the place without doing anything. And this have made by adoptive mother so mad, she yelled at me for several hours and refused to feed me for two days straight. I was starving that day and almost collapsing in the middle of class."
"That woman is a psycho." says Roberta, and the boys agree to her. "We have to do something."
"Like what?" asks Roman. "Record her while she is yelling at me and post the video on social media?"
Then, the four brothers, kept their mouth shut for a few seconds, then all four have agreed by a head shaking to do this.
There has been cases where a mother was using abusive violence on children recorded, and I most cases, these reordering were used against the adoptive mothers which resulted in the arresting of the adoptive parent, and the kid being sent to either Orphanage to or to a trusty relative of the adoptive parent. But in this case, Roman was certainly going to Orphanage since any of his adoptive mother relative mother doesn't really like to look at him.
"But, guys… If my mother will be arrested. Where I am going to?"
"What do you mean?" asks Roby.
"In cases like this," comes Robert. "Roman will be placed in an Orphanage."
"Yes." says Roman feeling anxious. "If I go to Orphanage I will lose the contact with you."
"I will be sure to not make this happen to you, Roman." says Rob to Roman.
"How come?"
"You'll see. Now, we have to focus on the plan."
"You've got a plan?" asks Robert to Roby.
"No." says Roby. "You?"
"Like always." says Robert in a narcissistic way.
