Read the passage. I was leaning against the high stone wall that ran around the schoolyard. I
was looking up at a white cloud skittering across the sky when all at once
someone tramped down hard on my right foot. Ian Forbes. Snarling bulldog
face. Heel grinding down on my toes. Head thrust forward the way an
animal might before it strikes.
"You wouldn't sing it. So say it," he ordered. "Let me hear you say it."
I tried to pull my foot away but he only ground down harder.
"Say what?" I was telling my face please not to show what my foot felt.
"God save the king. Say it. Those four words. I want to hear you say it."
"I'll never say it." I whispered.
