Chapter 8

Finny already is starting to give me a hard time. He started to make fun of my clothing we both just laughed. Mainly I laughed because of the fact that I was happy to see him again. The next day Brinker rushed in and was about to ask me if I was ready to enlist. Brinker continued to say " Your little plot didnt work so well after all huh"(98). Finny began to get supspicious of me. So I decided to change the subject again. I told him that I wanted to enlist into the army with him. Seeing from his facial expressions he clearly did not like the idea of me leaving him again. So I decided I wanted to show finny how much I really cared about our friendship and told Brinker
" I wouldn't go to war with you if you were General MacArthur's eldest son"(100). This enraged Binker but I don't really care because finny means more to me then him and what ever finny wants and thinks is right for me i'll go with. It ended with finny making Brinkers new nick name "Yellow Peril". As we walked to our first class we finny said winter loves me. I wondered why until he continued with because I love the winter so it has to return the affection. Finny proceeds to tell me that he wanted to go to the olympics and wishes that I would try and do it for him. Me and finny were training running around the house. I finally had found my sprint figure and started sprinting better than ever. This was all because of finny.
