chapter 7

Well I'm back in school. I told Gene that i cant do sports so he has to do them for me. I have to do something with sports! otherwise I don't think i could go on living. Brinker apparently had come by and he and Gene went to the butt room for a smoke...i actually miss the butt room. and that's weird because i hated it. it was so smell down there! Being a cripple and not able to do much i hear a lot of gossip. Some people think that Gene pushed me. Apparently he hasn't told anyone about the what really happened. I'm grateful for that because that means everyone isn't going to treat us differently. If everyone knew they would not talk to Gene and be all sympathetic towards me. I love people but i don't want them to talk to me only because they feel bad for me. Any who people got in a big decision today about the war. everyone wants to enlist. But hey why would we! In my mind  its all fake but since I'm aloe i haven't told anyone that. Gene came home and looked tired so i cracked a little joke to make him feel better! after all i can do is make jokes and study...great life i know.

"He looked up with a provocative grin" (Gene page 94)- even though he is hurt he can still have a good time

"Phineas was back"( Gene page 94)- shows that Gene is happy to have Finny back
