Chapter 8

When I return, I joke around with Gene about his clothes. I am just really happy to be back at Devon high school. The next morning, Brinker stops by and says that he wants to enlist, so I give him a nickname, I called him the yellow-peril. Gene and I were talking and I told Gene that winter is my month, and he knows this. I told Gene that we should cut class and go to the gym. I asked Gene what team he joined because he said he would do sports because I was unable to. Gene says that he didn't try out for any teams. I told Gene that there was no war between us. Gene asked me if anyone has talked to me about the accident, and I told him no because they didn't want us to think about the accident. I told Gene that I wanted him to do an olympic sport. I told Gene that I would train him and tutor him, and I am surprised at the progress that Gene was making. Gene was running a course around the headmasters office and he was doing very well, and Mr. Ludsbury tells me that we couldn't train here and I told him that we were going to train here, then he left.
