I like Mr Foster. He's thin and bony; he has gingery hair and his ears stick out. He wears big glasses and his clothes sort of flap on him. He has a really nice smile.
"Problems, Joe?" he asked.
"No, Mr Foster," I said.
You see, I wasn't scared of Raymond, although most of the kids are. But I don't like hassles so I just kept out of his way for the rest of lunch. Anyway, he's bigger than me.
