In search of some fun new activities to do with Davis, I started reading a few books from the library, the first book I checked out was 365 Activities for Fitness, Food, and Fun for the Whole Family by Julia Sweet.

"Good morning," Khalifa said this morning as he put not one, but two trophies on my desk! I stared at them for a moment before realising what they were. Before I could ask him what the match was like, he was walking down the corridor and into class so he left me looking at the football trophies in astonishment.
