Old Spencer

I decided to go see Mr. Spencer to say good bye instead of watching the football game against Saxton Hall. As soon as I got there I regretted going to see him. When I arrived there he was sitting reading the Atlantic Monthly and was surrounded by Vicks Nose Drops. After talking for a few minutes I decided to leave because I felt a lecture coming on. Then Mr. Spencer made me read my garbage History final exam essay and started questioning me about why I left Whooton School, Elkton Hills, and now Pencey. I really didn't feel like getting into the whole reason why I left Elkton Hills with Old Spencer, so I just told him it was complicated and a long story. I hoped that would be the end of him questioning me but he just had to bring up my god damn future and whether or not I felt any concern for it. After that I tried to get out of there. I told old Spencer not to worry about me and I was just going through a phase. Everybody goes through these phases, don't they?
