Chapter 2

After me and finny were "wrestling match"(14) we decided not to go to dinner because we were going to be late anyways. So instead we both went back to the dormatories and did our homework then went to bed. The next morning "Mr.Prud'homme stopped at our door"(14). I was excpecting a detention or session, but with finny's cleverness there was no way. And just like I thought finny talked us out of it with a very convincing story. Today finny decided to wear a bright pink shirt to celebrate the first succesful bombing of central Europe. Personally I felt that he looked like a "fairy". Mr. Patch-Withers decided to hold tea that afternoon. Most of us are awkward when talking to the teahcers, but of course not finny he got along great with them. I started to notice that finny was wearing his tie as a belt and I knew that there was no way that he would get away with it this time especially because they head master was there. But once again somehow finny managed to talk his way out of it and with no problem at all. Finny had such a way with words it was rediculous he would get us out of everything no problem. It seemed so easy for him I dont understand why I couldnt do the same thing. I started to feel jealous because all the success that I had gained I had to work for. But in finny's case it just seemed as though he could not try and do everything right. Every little thing that finny was praised for I felt like he had done no work for especially in sports. He never practiced or took anything serious in it yet somehow he would always win. For the last time me and finny went up on the tree to jump off into the river. I wanted to say somthing to finny before I jumped but I had lost my balance and was about to fall when suddenly finny caught me. I believe that finny had saved my life.
