I went through the shower curtain and asked whether he was awake. He was - and yeah, he did hear us. He sat up in bed with a very white face, the cream for all his goddam crappy spots. I couldnt find the light, which I really needed on. He kept asking why I wanted the light on, that really annoyed me, he was always askin why why why!!
He asked what the fight was about, I just said long story. I asked if i could stay in Ely's - he was away for the weekend. Anyway Ackley kept on asking about this goddam lousy fight me and Stradlater had. I told him it was about him, that really got him going. I told him I was kidding though. So I went over and got onto Ely's bed. I couldnt stop thinking about Jane and just what hapened in Ed Banky's car. Boy did it get on my nerves, I was going insane just thinking about all the things Stradlater could have tried to do to her, or did to her!
I woke Ackley up to take my mind of Jane. I asked him about joining a monastery, he wasnt to pleased. I got up from Ely's bed and started toward the door, I couldnt stand staying in that crappy atmosphere any longer. I gave Ackley a big phoney handshake and left.
Everybody was asleep or at home for the weekend. I didnt want to hang around Pencey anymore, you know just waiting 'til Wednesday for the big goodbye, after all theres no putting of what you know is going to happen. So I got my things together and counted my dough. I was pretty loaded, my Grandmother sent me some money about a week before and shes quite lavish with her money. She sends me birthday money 4 times a year, shes not got all her marbles anymore.
I went down the corridor and asked Frederick Woodruff how much he would give me for my typewriter I lent him, he was a pretty wealthy guy. I could tell he didnt really want it, but I managed to get twenty outta him.
I put my hunting hat on and took a long last look down the corridor of Pencey Prep. 'Sleep tight, ya morons!' I shouted, i'll bet that woke every goddam moron on the whole floor up.
