Loving you, loving me: the school



Several pillars that stretched like an invisible line across the
canteen more or less divided the space into two realms. It acted like some sort
of invisible `curtain' that separated students in the lower from the upper
classes. (Ch 5)


It was a five storey block of concrete adorned with brownish-yellow brick stone,
probably built in the sixties. I always thought when they built the hideous
thing they must have somehow managed to smuggle in architects from the former Eastern Bloc to oversee the design. Other students simply referred it as `The Tombstone'. (Ch8)




As soon as I entered the building I headed straight to the basement where the
lockers are located. Everyone received a key at the beginning of the term to one
of the many little red lockers that lined the walls of the basement. (Ch 8)



The aula was never a place the school thought needed heating, since it was
so large and empty, and rarely used, except for the occasional drama sessions,
like today’s.
(Ch 9)
