the book
You take your hands out of your pockets and lay them under your head.
You let one of your hands drop down under the bench. Your fingers
touch something very warm. You pick it up and realize that this is the
same book that you saw at Mr. Coriander's bookshop! You open it to the
first chapter and begin to read.
You say goodbye to Mr. Coriander and you walk out the door. When you
look at your watch, you realize that you are late for school! You run
as fast as you can down the crowded streets. When you finally reach
the school building, you decide not to go in because you might get
double critisism than what you usually get. So you run down to the
park and sit on the cold, wet bench.
