School Train Trouble

I am a student at a school that I was let into on a trial basis. I passed the conditions of the trial after my first year, so they let me continue on, but am still treated differently than all the rest of the students.

I go to this school by a 2 1/2 hour commute on bus and train. After I get off of my last bus and am waiting for the train, I start to read a book. It gets cold, so I go and get my yellow Care Bear blanket. Shortly later, I am missing my book so I go to look for it on the bus. The train going the other direction pulls up, and I notice that my book is now on the train platform, partially under the train. My train pulls up while I am retrieving my book. I rush to get onto it but it pulls away right as I get to the doors.

I toss the book in frustration. It hits the ground right in front of the train, which runs over it until the book is in about the middle of the first car. Then the train gets stuck. They back the train off, I retrieve my book, which has been wrapped in tape to repair it. I look around for someone to turn myself in to, because tossing the book in the way of the train is illegal, but I don't find anybody. So I get on the train.

This train car has soft green armchair-like seats, and in the back, four pool tables with twin beds standing on top of them.

I get to the school and go to class. The teacher hands out examination results to the students. I apprently did not take this exam because I am not a regular student.

Then she says that apparently there was some trouble with someone throwing a book in front of the school train and asks who was responsible. Before she finishes the question, I raise my hand and confess. She seems a little surprised and asked how I had a book to throw. As I am explaining how I came to have a book in my possession, my alarm goes off and wakes me up.
