Home

As I got home, the elevator boy asked me where I wanted to go. I told him I was going to the Dicksteins, they were some people who lived on the same floor as us. I didn't want him to know I was Caulfield and tell my parents. He told me they was at a party on the 14th floor, So I told him I was their nephew and that they had told me to wait in their room for him. I started making no sense and in the end he let me up. I went into our house silently when I got up. First I went in Pheobes room but remembered she didn't sleep in their when D.B when he was away as she preferred his room. It was much larger than hers and had a bigger bed, so she stayed in there. I went in D.B's room and woke her gently. She woke up and threw her arms round me shouting "Holden". She is one of them people who wake up suddenly. As we were talking she asked me about school, I didn't even have to tell her I had been kicked out, she worked it out for herself! She is so clever, really she is. She put her pillow over her face and wouldn't goddam speak to me. I ended up going out of the room and getting some cigarettes from on the table. I put them in my pocket as I was all out.
