Ian slouched off across the playground, just calling ‘See you at home’ over his shoulder to his mother.

‘He really misses Highcrest,’ said Mrs Wainscott. ‘He isn’t himself. It’s like there’s not enough scope for his imagination here.’

‘He just doesn’t like regular school because six hours a day isn’t enough for him to cook up his wicked plans,’ said Friday. ‘Hey Ian, wait up!’

Friday jogged over to catch up with Ian. He stopped to wait for her but didn’t turn around.

‘I just wanted to say goodbye,’ said Friday. ‘We’re going.’

‘Whatever.’ Ian shrugged.

Friday reached out and touched him on the arm. ‘Hey, are you all right?’

Ian looked at her. ‘You can’t solve everyone’s problems. You’re not Superman.’

‘No,’ agreed Friday. ‘I might have no fashion sense, but even I know not to wear underpants on the outside.’

‘But you forget to zip up,’ said Ian.

Friday looked down at her jeans.

‘Made you look,’ said Ian.

‘Are you okay here?’ asked Friday.

‘I’m fine,’ said Ian. ‘King of the school.’ He smiled his smarmy smile. The effect was immediately ruined by a football slamming into the side of his head.

‘Whoops, sorry, newbie,’ called a large athletic boy from the other side of the playground. His friends sniggered.

‘King of the school, huh?’ said Friday.

‘I’ve only been here three weeks,’ said Ian. ‘It’s going to take a while to let everyone else know it.’ He stalked away.
