� I will never, never, never, �� Thomas (to shout)�at the top of his voice. His mother was looking at him incredulously.

�Never�?�she encouraged.

�Never go to school by bicycle,� he ( to thunder), putting on his jacket.

�But (to miss)your bus, darling.�

�Yes, because you (not to wake)�me in time.�

�Didn�t you buy that alarm clock of yours because you (to want)your independence? Come on, (to be)angry. Give me a minute,(to take)you by car.�

�Take me?� Thomas was indignant. �Don�t you think I�m old enough to go on my own? I�m twelve and a half, remember? I�ll walk.�

�But it�s too far, darling.�

Thomas (to close)�the door behind him.

�OK, walk then and be late, as usual,� Mrs Wheel couldn�t help ( to shout)after him. She looked out of the window and saw him running at top speed.

She made herself a cup of tea, ad she (to head)for the living room, when she saw Thomas�s diary on the table. He (to leave)�it at home again! Really Thomas was going through� difficult times.

She (to open)it automatically and a picture attracted her eyes. Then a sentence (to attract)her eyes. She sat at the kitchen table and began reading. The hairdresser (to have to)�wait for her a bit longer, this morning.

Thomas was not late for school after all, but he was all in a sweat.� �All the better� he thought. Bingo (to tell)�him once that sweating was a man�s appreciated quality.

The first lesson was Maths and he enjoyed it so much that time (to fly). The second was a two-hour session of English.� HE (to get)so bored that he decided to work� a little on his diary. He (to look)�into his satchel but it wasn�t there. He must have left it on his bed. Luckily mother _(to accept)�his request and never entered his room.

Then the break came . He adored those short fifteen minutes which he spent (to talk)to wonderful Eva from the other class.

Or better he spent them talking about her with Bingo; she sometimes talked to him, but on those occasions he seemed to lose his voice. And his mind _(to turn)completely.

Eva quickly lost interest in his scarce conversation so Jeremy replaced Thomas and the two were soon chatting away and laughing.

�This morning (to prepare) a possible list of topics but it was Eva who approached him and said:

� You live in Elm Street, don�t you ?�

Thomas nodded, and swallowed. She _(to know)�his address! She added:

�My family (to move)to Elm Street tomorrow. I was wondering, wouldn�t it be cool to cycle together to school now that�s it�s warm?�

When Thomas arrived home that afternoon, he told his mother that maybe she was right and that on the following day he (to try)to cycle to school.
