Every saturday night we had the same meal. It was because they knew parents were likely to come on Sunday so if they asked their lad what they had had for tea then you could say steak. Just shows how much of a phoney the school is. Was a nice night though that Saturday, when we got outside it was white with snow. Me and this other guy had a snowball fight untill we were told to go in. It was really childish but everyone was enjoying themselves.
That night I ended up going to the cinema with this guy, Mal Brossard and Old Ackley. Mal didn't actually like Ackley much but Ackley wanted to come along anyway, so we let him.
Before we went out I collected this snowball off the windowsill. There was this car I wanted to throw it at, but I couldn't...it was just so white and untouched. So I aimed it at a hydrant, but that was the same...so I decided just not to throw it. I wanted to take it on the bus with me but the driver wouldn't let me. I told him I wouldn't throw it at anyone but I had to throw it out anyway. Once we got back old Acley parked himself in my room. On my bed and everything! Goddam hate that. He was telling me about how he had sexual intercourse or something. It was all lies, of course.
