The summer session is over at Devon and I’m still stuck at home for a while. I wonder what’s going on now that the actual school has started and I'm not there!? I wonder how Gene is doing too. Gene and I were so close the thought of not being in the same dorm let alone the same school right now just feels...weird without him. Ugh I just want my leg to heal and go back to Devon. I decide that I'm going to give Gene a call and see how’s he's doing. Gene tells me that my spot as Gene's roommate hasn't been given away, and I use this fact to confirm Gene's loyalty. I tell him he was crazy when he was here and with his attempt to pass the whole thing off as a joke. Gene awkwardly agrees with me acting like something is up. Well with that put behind us, I obviously ask Gene about t sports. I'm horrified at the thought of Gene managing instead of competing. If sports were finished for me, then they were finished for me too, was what Gene was thinking. But I don’t feel this way. "If I can't play sports," I say, "you're going to play them for me."
Picture 1 : This picture is relevant to this chapter because Finny is stuck at home with his broken leg while Gene and his other friends are back at Devon.
Picture 2 : This relates to this chapter because it is autumn and a new school year has begun at Devon."And a soaring sense of freedom revealed that this must have been my purpose from the first: to become part of Phineas."
"We had been an idiosyncratic, leaderless band in the summer undirected except by the eccentric notions of Phineas."
