Go East

You decide to go east, why not. You quickly realise why not; an entire horde of reasons. Luckily, you know a good shortcut that you used to use that avoids the road (jumping over people's back gardens counts as a shortcut).

You're now within an equal walking distance from all the point of interests in this area; your old school, the science college, the gym, and the pub. Though, if you're feeling adventurous (or suicidal), you could always just wander around, looking for something interesting.

All fine choices if you may say so yourself.
