It was time to start getting ready for school. Shawn took a quick shower, and then got dressed in a
hoodie and
jeans. He got a cup of
coffee and put some bread in the
toaster. Shawn was still hungry when he finished his toast, so he had an

banana for lunch. Shawn put on his
runners and
coat, and then headed out for the bus.
