Uncrackable System
Oh no, muttered my brother darkly. He's back. We listened to the car pull up outside the house.
Who's back? I asked.
The one. Him.
Who?
Dad, my sister clarified.
No shouting, please, begged my mother, as we heard the car door slam.
What happened, I asked, fearing I had missed some monumental happening. Argument of the year, or something.
I'm on Head of Year Report, my brother said. Been promoted from Form Tutor Report. Along with this other guy… he threw fromage frais at the windows.
You made a pact to get into trouble together? My mother asked, and we all laughed.
Why are YOU on it? I wanted to know.
Because the system is stupid and he can't crack it, said my sister, smiling beatifically.
