Chapter 6

Well the summer session is over. Well the it ended a while ago but i just haven't mentioned it until now. I'm still suffering with my leg and even worse Gene's news. I still cant get over that, he is the reason I'm stuck like this. I know people fairly well and i would never had expected this from Gene or anyone i know for that matter. My leg is starting to get better i guess. My cast isn't as heavy or as big has it use to be. Dr.Stanpole says that i could possibly go back to school. I don't know how i feel about that just yet. To see the guys when I'm all crippled. it will be hard to go back. I just wanna go and play sports and have things the way it use to be. I wanna run and have crazy ideas for new games. But most of all i want to get over the fact that Gene pushed me. I just need to look beyond it and move. But things like this are easier said then done. So I'm not gonna be baby,I'm going pack stuff and get in the car or train and go back to school. I'm gonna be a trooper and face my fears. I'm in the car heading back to Devon. To face the most terrifying thing...my roommate.

"I lost myself in him then" (Gene page 77)- says that gene wants to be more like Finny

"Whenever i glimpsed this river, I thought of Phienes" ( Gene page 67)- Gene feels guilty of what he has done.
