“At morning break I saw him and his gang playing football in the playground. They were kicking the ball around to each other. They weren’t that good, just big and strong, and they could kick the ball really hard. You could hear the ball hit the brick wall at the end of the playground with a WHHHAAAANNNG noise that made your head hum. The funny thing is that there were only six of them, including Dockery. I wondered who their seventh player was. At lunch time Dockery saw me in the dining hall (wh...ich was just the school gym at lunch time) and sort of smirked at me, which I didn’t like, although being smirked at is much better than being bashed. I don’t think he was very worried about losing the bet. The Bare Bum Gang thing still raised its ugly head now and then, but, as Noah pointed out, in a couple of years nobody would remember it, and in a hundred years we’d all be dead anyway, which was a funny way of cheering us up. I think he gets some of his ideas from his dad, who is quite often depressed, which means sad when you’re a grown-up.MoreLessRead More Read Less
