One day at school, DaWayne Watson (Wayne) was walking through the hallway, wandering to his class. His next class was science and then after that he went out to recess. Science wasn’t that much interesting, part of the reason is the class was learning about animals which he had no interest in, whatsoever.

Wayne lived only about 2 miles from school, which wasn’t a lot considering the town he lived in. About 1 ½ miles into the trip back home, Wayne realized how mad his dad would be when he sees the glasses in 2 instead of 1. So Wayne wandered into the next alleyway he saw. What do I do first?
