Donovan drove Arthur home, but before he left, he told Arthur that he'd be around to pick hi for school

"Thank you, I'll see you to his way inside the house

Arthur went through his usual routine of watering his plants, working out, playing ga with his fa his school bag for the next day

"I et ain," Arthur mumbled to himself He had been sent his schedule for the first ter to the last second

He spent a few , which was an unsurprisingly tedious task Once he was done, he finished off his nightly routine before going to bed

He woke up rather early the next day, and after doing his anised himself for school He made sure to pack hiht before

He had only just realised he didn't put his unifors, he eventually found it hidden away at the back of his wardrobe
