Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Arthur show characters.

Arthur's life for the most part was pretty good. He was sixteen, had a girlfriend, (Muffy) and was one of the most popular guys in school. He sometimes missed his friend Buster who had moved away two years ago, but still kept his old friends. Brain who had used to be very smart in his elementary years had dumbed down a little lower that everyone else. Francine was the captain of the cheerleading squad, and had grown more attractive and girly. Binkey was no longer a bully, and was now being bullied, due to his coming out of the closet three years ago. And then their was Muffy. She was still popular and very pretty, but ever sense elementary school she had gotten a little off her whack.

Arthur got on the bus. Sence he was popular everyone made room for him. He tried to be fair when he picked a seat. He walked slowely and almost caustiousely to the back. He found a seat next to Francine. She smiled and moved her books. Muffy poked her head in from the seat behind them. In a strange almost english accent she said, "Hey, hey, hey hey hey hey!" Francine gave her an evil glance, but Arthur didn't notice. Ever sence Muffy had started dating Arthur, Francine had gotten very jealous.She had once even spit on her friend.Arthur said hi to Muffy then went back in his seat.

When they got to school, it started to rain.Francine was running so fast she accidentily ran into Mollie. Mollie sneered at her then walked by. She had stopped bullying as well due to her therapy. She had had a mental break down in the fifth grade because she spilled some glue. She was said to have bipolar depression but nobody was sure.Francine ran inside and got to her first piriod biology class. She waved to Fern as she walked by her. Fern had skipped to the 11th grade and was now carrying a baby.

Francine was glad it was the day to switch lab partners. She wanted to be partners with Arthur. She smiled to herself and got ready to ask him.

She was looking at the doorway waiting for Arthur. Soon the first bell rang. Then the second. Halfway during the class he still wasn't there. She soon gaveup and realized he probaly skipped school with Muffy. She turned around to see George standing next to her. He quietly asked if they could be lab partners. Not seing anyone else she agreed. About thirty seconds later Arthur walked in.

"Sorry Im late. I volenteered to fix the hallway water fountain." Cursing herself Francine groaned. It was the only class she had alone with Arthur and she had chose Gearge.

About twenty minutes later the bell rang and she went to P.E.
