I went through to see old Ackley, I knew he would be awake with all the noise. He didn't sound all too pleased at being woken up. I turned the light on and he seemed pretty shocked when he saw me! I told him i'd had a goddam tiff with Stradlater, well that was a bit of an understatement but I didn't make that clear.
I told old Ackley I was stayin there the night, he wasn't a good host i'll tell you that! He soon fell asleep, don't know how he goddam did it. This was after a grilling about what me and Stradlater were fighting about. I didn't tell him though, told him I didn't want to bore him with it.
Anyway, it was depressing in that room. I got so goddam lonely, I even had an urge to wake Ackley up. I tried to do it quietly, so Stradlater wouldn't hear through the shower curtain. Didn't work though, he slept like a goddam rock. I shouted, he heard that alright and again, he wasn't too impressed at being woken up.
I got up, I couldn't be bothered with it in there anymore. I got hold of Ackleys hand and shook it. I was being very sincere with him but he told me I was being a wise guy. I didn't really listen after that, I just ignored him and walked out of the door.
It was really quiet out in the corridor, everyone was alseep or out. Then it crossed my mind. I decided I just wanted to get the hell outta Pencey. Why wait till Wednesday? I went back to the room and got my stuff, old stradlater didn't even wake up.
I sorta got depressed packing, didn't stop though. After i'd packed I counted my dough. I had quite alot, from my birthday and such like.
I was ready to go, I started to cry, sorta. I shouted at the top of my voice "Sleep tight, ya morons" and got the hell outta there!
