Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Her words were not appearing to make much difference.
Bapi stormed out the door and turned downhill.
Suddenly Lena was getting a bad feeling about this.
She skittered behind them. She knew before Bapi
reached the Dounas residence that he would be stopping
there. He knocked violently on the door.
Kostos’s grandfather opened the door. The man
looked fully astounded at the expression on Bapi’s face.
Bapi Kaligaris started yelling. Lena heard him bellow the
name Kostos a few times, but otherwise she understood
only anger. Grandma fluttered around timidly.
Bapi Dounas’s face transformed slowly from confusion
to indignation. He started yelling back.
“Oh, God,” Lena whimpered to herself.
Suddenly Bapi was forcing himself into the Dounas
house. Grandma was trying to hold him back, and Bapi
Dounas was planting himself in the way. “Pou einai
Kostos?” Bapi thundered.
Lena was pretty sure that meant “Where is Kostos?”
Right then, Kostos appeared behind his grandfather, looking
bewildered and upset. He obviously wanted to comfort
Lena’s grandfather, but his own grandfather wouldn’t
let him by.
Lena watched in acute horror as her bapi put his wiry
arms out and tried to shove the other old man out of the
way. Bapi Dounas’s eyes bulged, and he shoved back.
Suddenly Bapi Kaligaris cocked his arm and punched
Bapi Dounas in the nose.
Lena gasped. Grandma screamed.
