A Monster Calls Chapter 22

I No Longer See You

• The next day at school, it's the same story: everybody's ignoring Conor, who's still convinced the monster has come to save his mother.
• He's actually begging the monster under his breath at lunch when the bullies come and knock his juice into his lap. Then they tease him, saying he's wet himself.
• Real original, guys.
• That's it. After they've done that, Harry says he's going to do the worst thing to Conor he can do.
• He shakes his hand, says, "I no longer see you," and walks away with his friends. None of them look back. Oof. That was rough.
• The clock in the lunchroom strikes 12:07, and there's the monster, right on cue, ready to tell the third story.
