I texted him as I walked across the playground, but got no reply. Then I spotted him walking slowly out through the gates a short distance ahead of me, talking on his phone. As I caught up with him and waited for his conversation to end, I quickly picked up that he was speaking to Sean. ‘How is he?’ I asked after he’d finished the call. ‘Nothing’s broken, apparently. His mum’s feeding him some soup and some painkillers the doctor prescribed and tucking him up in bed as we speak.’ ‘So he’s OK?’ ‘Well, he’s pretty upset about what happened. He says his mum and Leo are really angry with him for eavesdropping, never mind for blurting out what he overheard. Leo’s got to go and see Mr Jamieson after school. How much further it goes will depend a bit on Sadie, I guess.’ He paused. ‘Leo’s told Sean he has to keep away from Sadie in future – and he doesn’t want him hanging out with her or you outside of school.’ I gulped. ‘Me?’ I hadn’t seen that one coming.
