A Place Called Perfect (18 page)

CHAPTER 36

Our Town

The whole town was already gathered in the square when Boy and Violet sprinted down the main street past the newly planted flowerbeds.

“I still think those eyes are creepy,” Boy shuddered.

“Well you better get used to them they’re all over town. Edward Archer will never sneak back in here with all of those watching out for him,” Violet laughed, “Come on we’re late. Mam is always giving out to me for delaying.”

“I can’t get used to this parents thing,” Boy said, racing beside his friend, “I mean I never had to obey anyone before.”

“You love it!” Violet teased, sprinting ahead.

Everyone was standing round a small red curtain when the pair arrived. William Archer’s hand rested on the cord as he finished his speech.

“And now let us all forget our Perfect past and move onto our future,” he smiled, pulling tight on the rope.

The curtains glided gracefully apart to reveal a marble etched plaque, Welcome to Town it read. The place erupted in applause.

“Town, what kind of a name is that?” Boy smirked.

“Well you can’t talk,” Violet laughed, “and anyway it’s not just any town Boy. It’s our Town.”
