Chapter Seven

Tuesday, and the silence was worse than ever.

While everybody else scrambled for the door and the first activity, the Room Five boys sat glaring at Wasim as the dreaded crate – full of exercise books for their diaries, paper, pencils and “extra work” – was pulled out from its corner next to the sweet machine. The glares got worse as they took Comprehension Plus out instead of putting climbing boots on.

Dom came and went. His whistle seemed to get even more cheerful as he saw the seven of them (Dionne had joined them for wearing his wellingtons on the bed) start work.

Dom’s whistle stopped when Mr Abbot rescued them.

“OK. As it was the first time and we know who was doing the eating, the rest of you can go.”

“Yessss,” they whisper-cheered.

“Wasim, we are guests here and you broke a very important rule. I hope you’ve learned a lesson.”

So Wasim was on his own with Dom, who was furious that the others had got off so lightly. And Dom started his tuneless whistle again as he yanked open the door to the sweet machine and, without taking his sunglassed eyes from Wasim, ripped open a box of salt and vinegar crisps and lined them up behind their springs in a neat row.
