Monkey Bars And Rubber Ducks
“Time to think of ways to get out of it, I decided. I may be a Triber but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid. And bunking off is stupid. I moved from my bed to my hammock – swaying is good for thinking.
WAYS TO GET OUT OF VISITING BIG JIM Be off sick.
• Except with a mum who’s a doctor it’s difficult to fake illness.
Get Big Jim to say he doesn’t need any help.
• Ideal but impossible.
Tell my mum, or Fifty’s, all about it.
• But Tribe wouldn’t forgive me if Big Jim got carried off to a home and left t...here forever. (And what about Carlotta the cat?) Invent a dentist’s appointment at lunchtime so I wouldn’t have to creep out. I could forge a letter from Mum, if I dared. Or Fifty could do it for me.
• Best idea so far. Although means I’d still have to do the bunking off.
Swap with Fifty.
• Except Fifty would have to be stupid to agree as he won’t be doing it.
Faint at lunchtime and get sent to the school nurse.
• This idea rocks.
By the time I’d bolted my breakfast I felt much better.MoreLess
