CHAPTER SIX

KATIE got to work so early that she had to rout out the janitor to let her in. She went straight to the studio.

She set out the lower fifth’s project meticulously. Then she sat down and looked over the register record cards. At least that was what she would have said she was doing. But there was a blind look in her eyes which did not suggest she was taking much in. And she did not move, even when the bell went for morning assembly.

If only she had closed the door on Miss Edelstein. If only she had not allowed herself to talk to him like that, as if he were a friend. If only she had not gone upstairs with him.

In the distance the school sang ‘Love divine, all loves excelling’. Katie shuddered. ‘Love’ was not a word she had even permitted to cross her mind. But now, thanks to the music master’s limited repertoire, the damage was done. She did not know whether to laugh or cry.

There was an exuberant surge of laughter from the corridor. Assembly must have finished. Katie bit her lip. For a brief second all she wanted was to be back in his arms again. She wanted to kiss and be kissed, wildly.

She swallowed. There are few things lonelier than listening to other people going about their daily business, Katie reminded herself. It did not mean she was in love with a stranger. That would be nonsense.

She had never been in love in her life. When Mike had flinched and turned away from her she had been hurt, but not to the core, not mortally. Yet last night there had been a moment when—

The door burst open and the lower fifth pounded in. Katie stood up. For the first time in their collective experience a teacher greeted them with genuine relief.
