Chapter 11

I see Gene come back but I'm in the middle of a snowball fight so I'm not really in the mood to see where he has been all this time. He stands around and watches for a bit. When he turns to leave, I hit him on the back of the head with a snowball. The snowball fight, which once had two distinct teams, quickly begins to break down as everyone begins pelting everyone else. The fight ends when they all turn on me. Oh, sure, pick on the crippled guy.  That night, at 10:00 pm, Brinker Hadley and three of his buddies come to Gene and I's  room, to take us out. As you might have guessed, this is largely illegal (even the seniors have to be back inside by ten, as we saw earlier). But since Brinker used to be the head of every club in existence, he's got a set of keys to most buildings on campus. Great for us. The group steers Gene and I into the Assembly Room at the top of the First Building. Inside are about ten senior boys, so Gene figures this is some sort of senior prank. But its not. They want to investigate my accident but i tell them everything that happened. I just fell! I eventually head out and i get to the marble stairs and notice that i slip. But then everything goes black.

Picture 2 : This picture is relevant to this chapter because at the very end, Finny falls down the stairs.




"I wanted to see Phineas and only Phineas. With him there was no conflict except between athletes, some thing Greek inspired and Olympian in which victory would go to whoever was the strongest body and heart."


"This gathering had obviously been Finny's work. Who else could have inveigled twenty people to the farthest extremity  of the school to throw snowballs each other?"
