“I don’t want to go to school today.” His grandma just drove.
It was quite possible she was never going to speak to him again.
“How was she last night?” he asked. He’d waited up for a long time after the monster left,
but had still fallen asleep before his grandma came back.
“Much the same,” she said, tersely, keeping her eyes firmly on the road.
“Is the new medicine helping?” She didn’t answer this one for so long,
he thought she wasn’t going to and was on the verge of asking again when she said, “It’s too soon to tell.”
Conor let a few streets go by, then he asked, “When is she going to come home?”
This one his grandma didn’t answer, even though it was another half hour before they got to school.
There was no hope of paying attention in lessons.
Which, once again, didn’t matter because none of the teachers asked him a question anyway.
Neither did his classmates. By the time lunch break came around, he’d passed another morning not having said a word to anyone.
