Soul Stealer (2009)
“All about him, thirty Year Seven boys milled around the locker room, changing into their PE clothes, joking and talking loudly. It was their first gym session, and most were eager to begin.
Paying little attention to the hubbub going on around him, Tim concentrated on Scrotton, who had chosen to get changed at the far end of the room, half hidden by an equipment locker. Nevertheless, Tim could still see his clothes were tattered and badly needed laundering.
“Why does Scrotton hide himse...lf?” he whispered to Sebastian, who was wearing Tim’s spare clothes.
