As Arthur expected, the assembly went on several minutes into the first break. He heard countless groans from people sitting around him all complaining about the humidity and how bored they were.
Eventually, the assembly came to an end and everyone was allowed to leave and have what little remained of their first break.
Arthur and his friends made a trip to the infirmary so that Arthur could say hello to Emily. However, it seemed as though she wasn't around so they just made their way towards their lockers instead.
The area around their lockers was packed with students, it seemed everyone wanted to quickly get a snack and run off to enjoy their break before lessons started again, which caused a rather unsightly crowd to form.
Eventually, the group thinned out as the horde of students quickly made their way out of the building, leaving only a few stragglers behind, and Arthur's group.
