Oh Joy! Oh Rapture! Pandora is organising a sock protest! She came round to my house today! Yes! She actually stood on our front porch and told me that she admired the stand I was taking! I would have asked her in, but the house is in a squalid state so I didn'l. She is going round the school with a petit/on on Monday morning. She said I was a freedom fighter for the rights of the individual. She wants me to go round to her house tomorrow morning. A committee is being set up, and I am the principal speaker! She wanted to see the red socks but I told her they were in the wash.
Doreen Slater and Maxwell went home today, My grandma is coming round tonight, so all traces of them have got to be wiped out.
1 Why did Pandora come to Adrian's home?
2 What did she do to support Adrian?
3 Do you think Adrian told Pandora the truth about his red socks?
Monday June 8th
Woke up, dressed, put red socks on before underpants or vest. Father stood at the door and wished me luck. Felt like a hero. Met Pandora and rest of the committee at corner of our road; all of us were wearing red socks. Pandora's were Jurex. She has certainly got guts! We sang "We shall not be moved" all the way to school. I felt a bit scared when we went through the gates but Pandora rallied us with shouts of encouragement. Popeyed Scruton has been tipped off because he was waiting /n the fourth-year cloakroom, He was standing very still with his arms folded, stanng with poached egg eyes, He didn't speak, he just nodded upstairs, All the red socks trooped upstairs, My heart was beating dead loud. He went silently into his office and sat at his desk and started tapping his teeth with a school pen, We just stood there. He smiled in a horrible way and rang the bell on his desk...
4 How did Adrian prepare for the "red socks" protest?
5 How did he feel when he went to school?
6 Where did the headmaster meet the protestors?
7 How did Adrian feel in the headmaster's office?

2 How do you think the storyis going to contInue?
3 Do you think the school administration is going to punish the students? How?
C. Read the next part of the story and choose the best answer from the ones below.
He smiled in a horrible way then rang the bell on his desk. His secretary came in, he said, "Sit down and take a letter, Mrs Claricoates". The letter was to our parents, it said:
Dear Mr and Mrs...,
It is sad to inform you that your son / daughter has deliberately flaunted one of the rules of this school. I take an extremely serious view of this contravention. I am therefore suspending your son / daughter for a period of one week. Young people today often lack sufficient moral guidance in the home; therefore I feel that it is my duty to take a firm stand in my school. If you wish to discuss the matter further with me do not hesitate to ring my secretary for an appointment.
Your faithfully, R. G, Scruton Headmaster
Pandora started to say something about her O-Ievels suffering but Scruton roared at her to shut up! Even Mrs Claricoates jumped. Scruton said that we could wait until the letters had been typed, duplicated and signed and then we had better "hotfoot it out of school". We waited outside Scruton's office. Pandora was crying (because she was angry and frustrated, she said). I put my arm round her a bit. Mrs Claricoates gave us our letters. She smiled very kindly, it can't be very easy working for a despot.
We went round to Pandora's house but it was locked, so I said everyone could come round to my house, It was quite tidy for once, apart from the dog hairs. My father raged about the letter. He is supposed to be a Conservative but he is not being very conservative at the moment.
I can't help wishing that I had worn black socks on Friday.
