" So what exactly did the new boy say ? " asks Zak of well, a new boy, Jonny !
" He said that we don't need to go to school !" whispers Jonny looking quite glum " But I like school, I get to play with all my friends "
" Yes " whispers Aimi joining in " we'd really like to keep going to school "
No Idea why they are whispering Zak whispers back " I'm sure you can go to school, I'm sure Mum will insist on it in fact "
The little ones smile " Thank you " they chorus
Meanwhile just along from the armchair more whispering is going on . . .
" So " whispers Toby excitedly " I don't need no education? "
" Nope "
" and I definitely don't need no thought control "
" definitely not "
"and I sure don't want to get into no dark scarred caverns ! " Toby says with a shiver
" Pardon? " says Tommy loudly , seeing the others look over he drops his voice " Dark scarred caverns? "
Toby nods " that's what you said no dark scarred caverns in the class room "
Tommy stares at Toby stunned " Ah I said dark sarcasm in the class room ! "
Toby stares back confused then whispers " chasm ...caverns... potato... tomato ..! who cares ! no school ever again ! Wicked !!! " and with that he darts off leaving a slightly confused Tommy watching him go.
Poor Toby - definitely no thought control there. He's as clueless as my Oliver and Luke!
