Dustbin Baby
“Not friends friends. She was still very much Miss Ultra-Strict-Schoolteacher but she would give me the glimmer of a smile every so often in class and if I hung back she’d chat to me. Sometimes she’d pick out a book for me or give me a postcard of a painting. Then one Saturday while we were still studying the Victorians she turned up at the school and told me she was taking me out for the day.
‘If you’d like that, April,’ she said.
I wasn’t too sure that first time. I was still a little ...scared of her and I thought it would probably be boring to be stuck with her all day. I liked the way she taught History but I didn’t fancy a History lesson all day long.
It wasn’t like that at all. She did take me to the Victoria and Albert Museum but she made it great fun, and she took me to the shop afterwards and bought me a tiny bear dressed up as Queen Victoria. We went to the café too which seemed very grand and grown up.MoreLess
