On my father’s furrowed brow, worries pile up like storm clouds. We’ve run out of money. At the hostel we were given 285 euros a month to buy food, clothes and other essentials. It wasn’t much and we had to economise, but we managed. My father used even to set aside 30 euros each month for the time when we would leave the hostel and move into our own home. He would get cross if I wasted money. Like the time when I was playing with my friends on a hill, and the room key fell out of my pocket. I went back over my steps and looked everywhere, but I couldn’t find it. My father lost his temper and shouted at me: having another key cut would cost 50 euros. Then he went round with that scary expression all day. After that I was more careful.

Now he gets nothing. The 1,000 euros from the Paris championship has gone. Our pockets are empty. Some nights we have nothing to eat. Sometimes I think I’m going to die of hunger. Fortunately Xavier is there, always generous when we need to eat, buy trainers for school or pay entrance fees for tournaments.
