Karl watches the landscape and the people in nearby fields, including migrant workers picking onions, while Daniel irritates his views with harsh commentary. When Karl notices a young woman on the train, he and Daniel debate whether she is someone they met at the market and connect possible migration circumstances to why she may not speak much English.

streaked the windows,so that fat drops slanted across his field ofvision,blurring the dull view.Nearly home.His iPod was out of battery and he’d eatenthe crisps he'd bought on the way from school  \nto the station.Daniel,sitting next to him,was silent and messing with his phone,  \ntexting some girl he'd met at half term.Thefat woman opposite huffed and puffed andshifted in her seat-in both the seats shefilled.And Karl stared out of the window.  \nThe wide ditches ran like deep cutsthrough the fields here.Green banks oneither side,the lips of these great wounds,rose up to the edge and then the ditch-dykes they were called,weren't they?-the dyke severed one field from the next.In the nearest field,a band of bedraggledand drenched migrant workers stoopedover,picking onions.Karl couldn’t seetheir gang-master.  \nDaniel looked up from texting the girl hewas after.  \n'Losers,'he said.'Look at them.They livein caravans and spend their days scouring  \nthe mud for shitty onions.Why don't theystay at home?At least it might be sunnyat home.'  \nKarl stared at the line of workers.  \nPerhaps they were losers.But his life didn’tseem much more exciting than theirs justnow.A long round of GCSE courseworkand arguments with his parents and theendless train journeys to and from school.He couldn't wait to leave in the summer-four months to go.He was practicallycounting the days.Then he saw her.Sheraised her head,glanced unseeing towardsthe train,pushed her long,black hair backover her shoulders and put a hand to thesmall of her back.  \n'Look!'Karl poked Daniel,who hadturned back to his phone.'Isn’t thatthe girl we met on Saturday?At themarket?Eleni?\"  \nDaniel lifted his head again,but theywere too far past to be sure.  \n'Nah,can't be.'  \n'It could be.Her friend,she didn’t speakmuch English.Remember?They spoke  \ntogether in Serbian or something.If they'remigrants camping on the farm that wouldbe why they wouldn’t say where they live.'  \nDaniel ignored him,pressing the buttonson his phone in quick succession.  \nThe train was slowing,stopping.Karlkept his face close to the window.A dykejust a few metres away was clogged withrubbish:an old fridge-freezer,a brokensupermarket trolley,a pet basket.Therewas a battered,red estate car drawn upclos","cbCaic0mwotEDmcW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic0mwotEDmcW","pdf",3132830,68,"English","# Chapter One\n## Train
