RED BOW-TIE PART 1

Well here I am again, sitting outside the principal's office. And I've only been at the school for two days. Two lots of trouble in two days! Yesterday I got the strap for nothing. Nothing at all. I see this bloke walking along the street wearing a RED BOW-TIE. It looks like a great red butterfly attacking his neck. It is the silliest bow-tie I have ever seen. 'What are you staring at, lad? says the bloke. He is in a bad mood. Your bow-tie, ' I tell him. 'It is ridiculous. It looks like a red vampire.'It is so funny that I start to laugh my head off. Nobody tells me that this block is old splodge, the principal of the school. He doesn't see the joke and he gives me the strap. Life is unfair. Now I am in trouble again I am sitting here outside old splodge's office waiting for him to call me in. Well, at least I've got something good to look at. Old splodge's secretary is sitting there typing some letters. She called Miss Newham and she is a real knockout. Every boy in the school is in love with her. I wish she was my girlfriend, but as she is seventeen and I am only fourteen there is not much hope. Still, she doesn't have a boyfriend so there is always a chance. She is looking at me and smiling. I can feel my face going red. Why have you dyed your hair blond? She ask sweetly. Didn't you know it is against the school rules for boys to dye their hair? I try to think of a very impressive answer but before I can say anything Old Splodge sticks his head around the office door. Come in boy he says. I go in and sit down. Well lad says Old Splodge. Why have you dyed your hair? Trying to be a surfing, eh? He is a grumpy old coot. He is due to retire next year and he does not want to go. I notice that he is still wearing the RED BOW- TIE. He always wears this bow- tie. He cannot seem to live without it.I try not look at it as I answer him. I did not dye my hair sir, I say yesterday , says Splodge, when I gav you six of the best, I noticed that you had black hair.
