Maybe we can have him be dragged there by Spades? Like I suggested to WritingWolf, you two could be in his Gang and he is making you two go with him since his father has asked for him to be enrolled there? It's an idea but it would give a reason for Hal to go back XD Even though Spades is younger he could threaten to play a evil "joke" on Hal if he doesn't come with him? =P
