Oakie clomped down the stairs. He carried a big plaid suitcase in his hand. His face was shiny: his hair looked as if it had been cut using a pair of scissors and a bowl. He still had that cowlick. He wore a red and green plaid shirt and a pair of baggy, navy blue trousers. He had on a pair of bright green .socks and a brand-new pair of black penny-loafers with a shiny nickle tucked into each slit. I ' m ready. Paw, he moaned, staring at the floor. He was afraid to look up because he didn ' t want his father to .see the tears he felt welling up in his eyes. ' Well, you look fine, boy, real fine! We ' d better go! Walter shouted. Walter picked up his son ' s suitcase and started for the truck. Oakie got into the truck after taking a long, sorrowful look at the house. They drove down to the bus station. It was 8:45. Soon the bus with the sign reading WAVERTON pulled into the station. Well, boy, I guess it ' s goodbye for now. Don ' t worry, I ' ll be over to see ya next week and see how yer doin. Walter Alvin helped his son lift the suitcase out of the back of the truck. They walked toward the bus; Walter Alvin coughed (he always coughed when he was nervous). Well, son, be good . . . You study hard now, hear? I will, Paw, Oakie said as he shook hands with his father and tried to keep the tears back. You won ' t grow no long hair? Walter Alvin asked. No, Paw, Oakie assured him. An ' you ain ' t gonna burn no draft cards? Walter put his arm around his son ' s shoulder. No, Paw. Oakie answered firmly. You ' ll see, Paw: Til make you proud. Oakie mounted the steps of the bus and the door closed behind him. Walter Alvin stood watching his .son waving from the window as the bus pulled away. Walter sighed, They boy o mine, he ' s gonna have a good future. Yea sir! 16
