Yick's been able to keep it a secret from Arthur until one night, Arthur ends up being their target. After swarming Arthur for his things, Yick quits the gang and rekindles his relationship with his best friend.At the same time, Ken Roberts worked on a story about the duo. Following them through their first year at Degrassi as they learned about bullies, girls and revenge.
