When I went to bed that night, I lay thinking for hours. Lots of questions were going through my head.

I always keep a notepad by my bed, so I can jot down special number rules, puzzles and stuff. I thought of Victor running into his house, so I made an anagram from his road name: DEVIL TURD RAN (RUTLAND DRIVE ). Then I thought of the empty shed and wrote: NO TRACE NOT ONE CARTON.

(That’s what I call a comic ironic palindromic chronic shame.)

WEDNESDAY

It would take a mega-crime before the police would decide to act on my advice.

The weeks that followed the Criddles’ attack on Mum’s car were the worst in my life. Not a day went by when Shahdan (I couldn’t even say his real name) didn’t torment me, threaten me, hit me, spit at me or take things from my bag. Some days he made me give him money and sandwiches.

Then the worst thing of all happened, when he gripped me in a headlock. He grabbed the cord round my neck and wrenched off my memory stick, then threw it down a drain. I was so upset that I shouted and screamed at him – but he only laughed even more. I couldn’t speak for the rest of the day.

There was no point trying to tell anyone what he did because:

a) no one wanted to know,

b) it made me feel like I couldn’t look after myself, so I was a useless failure, and

c) he told me what he and his brothers would do to me and my Mum if I ever told anyone.
