This chapter is really pure. It gives me the same feeling as looking at the surface of water and realizing that you can see all the way to the bottom clearly. It's luminous. And you are right there with that little girl as she creeps past the matron's room with her pee-soaked sheet...
I also remember the thrill of being allocated the corner bed in the dormitory. Because it was in the corner you could somehow build your own world in your bed. It was harder to do that right out in the middle with air and other girls on all sides. I still get a safe feeling when I sleep in a bed pushed into the corner of the room.
