I told mum I wasn't feeling up for Christmas this year. I'll just stay here.

This is the first break I've spent at the school. It's a bit freaky - we've got a big giant castle and it's mostly empty. It feels like there's more ghosts than people.

I think she understands.

I'm leaving to stay at my mum's.

If you don't know where that is...well, I'd probably rather you fuck off, anyway.
