No one kicks off in the Cookery class. Kicking off in Cookery means the class is cancelled, and for some of us it’s the only good meal of the week. So there are consequences. Naturally enough, the D responsible gets a battering later on. That stands to reason. But far worse than getting twisted up is the cold shoulder the brother receives for the duration of the Cookery ban. Some rudeboys can’t handle that at all. They can’t stand not being spoken to; can’t stand the pantomime reactions, the dilated nostrils, that suggest a bad aroma has wafted over. Anyone busted? the D will hear.
Roller really should have known better. The Gov goes for the bell, and he moves fast for someone so hench; I feel the air whip past my ears. I turn. And Roller’s got Meaney in a headlock; he’s pounding the brother’s head with a rolling pin. No expression on his face. No build-up to the incident, no bickering, no beef. It’s like someone’s flipped a switch. It happens from time to time, but not in the Cookery class.
