weird. He just fell over on his own. I never

            touched him! Freak!”

               He started laughing. Abby was cross. She

            grabbed her own bag and coat and then took

            Jay’s rucksack and coat off his peg.

               “Here,” she said, handing Jay his things.

            “Just ignore him. He’s a bully.”

               Jay had worked that one out himself. He

            was hurting though. Not just the bruise on his

            head, but that name Tom had called him.

            Freak. What if everyone started calling him a

            freak? He felt a prickly sensation under his

            eyelids. Clutching his coat and rucksack he

            stood up and made his way to the door. He

            wanted to get out of there as fast as possible

            and never go back. Once outside he ran

            towards the gates.

               “Bye, Jay!”
