“Dunphy had drunk on Sunday seemed to wear off over the week. He spent less time slumped in his chair scowling over his tea. The notes he scribbled across the blackboard were easier to read. And when he clobbered up my aisle and stuck his pig nose into my work, he just grunted and continued on his way. Even so, what I had seen of him over my short time there told me his calm demeanour was just a thin shell. Thinking about him made my head ache. My hands shook at the sound of his brace rattling u...p my aisle. When he bent down and ran a fat finger over my work, the smell of him made my guts churn. And I suspected it wouldn’t be long before he was picking on me again. I didn’t know when it would happen and what it would be, but I knew for sure it was coming. Every morning on my way to school, I tried to think up ways to stay clear of the old grump. When Thomas struggled over a word at reading, I’d just point to it and keep my mouth shut until he got it right. No matter how much he whined, I didn’t offer a hint.MoreLessRead More Read Less
