Finny had fallen down the marbel stair case. As soon as all of us have arrived one boy yells go get the wrestling coach. so i end up going with 2 other boys to get the coach. When the coach arrives he tells me that Finny had just broken his leg again and he will be ok. He also tells me that his time his leg isn't as bad as the first time/ the last time. Finny is rushed to the hospital. I snuck into the hospital because kids are not allwoed in there. When all the doctors and people got out of Finnys room i decided to stand in front of the window. Finny sees me and started moving in his bed. Then Finny falls out of the bed i didn't want to help him because he would blame me again for something i didn't do. Dr. Stanapole came to me and asked me to pack Finnys things in a suite case so i did. Then i brought the suit case to the hospital. When i got there Finny took the suit case when he was trying to open the suit case i noticed that he started to shake. Finny told me that the only reason why he didn't want me to enlist in the war was because they rejected him because of his leg. since he couldn't go he didn't want me to go. Then Dr. Stanapole tells me to leave and come back in a few hours because they were going to give finny some anestia. So i left then when i came back in a few hours Dr. Stanapole told me that Finny had died. i couldn't even breathe when i heard this.I could not belive this had really happened to me .My best friend had really died. I didn't cry when i got the news and i didn't cry at the funeral this was because i felt as if i had just died. Thats how my best friend in the world died.

Then Brinker came up to me and asked me how leper was and i told him that he had completly changed. i told him that the old leper was gone and that there was a new leper. i also told him that leper decided to leave the army because he was feeling sick. i wanted to forget what had happened to Finny but Brinker kept on bringing it up. one night me and Finny were in our rooms WHen Brinker comes into our room with a bunch of other guys. Brinker says that we are going to the Assembly hall. I told him that i didn't want to go but one of the guys that was with Brinker decided to carry me there. When we got there, there was alot of people. Brinker told me that there were judges and a jurry and they wanted to settel the case of what happened to Finny that night. When it was Finnys turn to talk i thought that he was going to say that i pushed him of the tree on purpose but instead he said that he lost his balance and before he knew ithe was in the river. Finny was so mad at what Brinker was doing so he decided to leave the Assembly hall. When he left i was about to fallow him when his footsteps stopped and i heard a big crash.

chapter 10gene

I get a letter from leper saying that he is coming home in 3days. When the third day came i decided to go to his house and see what was going on. When i got there lepier told me that they wanted to put him on "section 8". i asked him why he came back from the war so fast, and he told me that he wasn't feeling good at all. Leper was very sick and he could no longer be involved in the war. I started to call leper names. Then leper told me that i pushed Finny out of the tree on purpose. He said that because he knew how much i hated when somebody would say that. I couldn't stand it when somebody would tell me that i pushed my best friend out of the tree on purpose. I had a temper so i threw lepiers chair and before i knew it, lepers mom was standing right there.Lepers mom told me that leper was very sick and i should not attempt to attack a sick person. Then leper asks me to stay for lunch after what i did to him . i said that i would stay for lunch. After we ate lunch lepers mom told us to go for a walk and talk about things. So me and leper ended up going for a walk. leper told me about the harsh conditions at the war. i just started running as fast as i could because i could no longer listen to what he had to say.

Chapter9 gene

Well leper ends up enlisting in the war. We told him that the war was really dangerious and we didn't want him to get hurt, but he didn't listen and he ended up enlisting in the war. When we knew that he was at war we all looked at the war as if it was un real or something. We could not belive that after everything we told Lepier he still enlisted. Brinker and i always joke about lepier and if he is ever going to come back alive. Finny would just sit there and tell us that we should not make fun of lepier. I now stopped smoking because i wanted to be healthy for the olympics . I was glad that Leper would always send me a letter. In his letters he would say something like" i escaped" or " i'm ok".me and Brinker always joked around. I really did miss Lepier. I always was joking about him coming home because if i didn't then i would end up crying and worrying about him. I really didn't want anything bad to happen to him. I just hoped that he would come home safly. I also wanted to see him again for the last time.

Well since Finny is back, He was staying in our room. When we were in our room Brinker decides to come in. Brinker asked me if i was ready to enlist in the war and i told him that i was. Then he left our room. Finny turned around and asked me if i was seriosly foing to enlist in the war and i told him that i was. For the first time in my life i felt that Finny really cared about me. I felt that he cared about me because he told me that i shouldn't. i decided to listen to my best friend and i ended up not signing up for the war. I decided to take a long walk with Finny. As we were walking he asked me what sports i had been doing. I told him non and that i hadn't signed up for any either. I decide to start traing for the olymipics. The next morning i was running by the school and Mr. Ledsburry comes out. He asked finny what i was doing and Finny told him that i was training for the olympics. Mr. Ledsbury was surprised that i was training for the olypics because i don't like sports and i am not good at them either. Then Mr. Ledsbury decides to leave.

chapter 7 gene

Brinker comes into my room and starts making fun of how i have a big room all to myself. I myself did not find that funny at all. When he mensioned that i felt a gulit feeling building up in my chest. I just hated that feeling it reminded me of the day of the accident. I still can not belive that really happened. Well the real reason why Brinker came into my room was because he wanted to go smoke ciggerats. I aggred to go down to the basement. The basement was divide into alot of rooms. Brinker decided that the best room for smoking was in the " Butt room". " i feel like a smoke,don't you?"(pg.80). " Lets go down to the Butt room"(pg 80). " the Butt room was something like a dungeon"( pg.80). As we were in the Butt room Brinker started making fun again. He said that the butt room looked like a dungeon for criminals. He kept on saying that i should be put in there because i was a criminal. He said i was a criminal because i broke Finnys leg. I couldn't take him making jokes out of something serious so i decided to tell him i had to study for french because i had a test. So i ended up leaving without somking with Brinker. Oh well.......that was his fault he shouldn't have been making fun of me or the situation. When i was walking with Leper and Brinker, Leper tells me that he is sick of school and that he wants to join the army. I told him that if he enlists then i will too. So we end up both enlisting tthe army. When i go back my room i see Finny there. " Phineas was back"(pg.94).
