I just received a call from home. It seems my presence is required for the weekend. Ryoga, be a dear and start packing for the both of us. We'll be leaving Thursday. I've spoken to my teachers about the day I will be absent and most of them have been kind enough to give me a list of the work they plan to give on Friday.
Something is wrong. Mother never asks me to return like this and she sounded as if she were in a panic, but stubbornly making sure I knew to wait until the weekend to make the trip, so my grades would not be too affected.
