Chapter Twenty Three - Mr Antolini was very nice. He was about the best teacher I ever had.

I had to be very quick on the phone because I didn’t want my parents to walk in on me. Mr Antolini was very nice. He was about the best teacher I ever had.
When I got back into D.B’s room, Phoebe turned on the radio and we danced for a little while.
“The front door!” I quickly ran and turned off the desk light. Then I grabbed my shoes and hid in the closet. My mother thought Phoebe had been smoking. But she just said she lit one and put it out. When my mum finally left, I said goodbye to Pheobe and I started to cry when she gave me all her Christmas money. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t stop.
I walked all the way downstairs and nearly broke my goddam neck. I had to be quick though, Mr Antolini was waiting.
