chapter/day four

Dear journal,

I woke up at dawn today. Finny was still sleeping so I tried to go back to bed but I couldn’t fall asleep so instead I lay watching the sky. “The ocean looked dead too, dead gray waves hissing mordantly along the beach, which was gray and dead looking itself.” (Gene, page 41) Everything was slow and calm, I could tell by the sky and the ocean that it was about 6:30 in the morning. When Finny woke up we decided to go for a swim. After we had lunch we played a game of blitzball and after dinner we had a meeting with the Super Society of the Summer Session with everyone. Finny said he has to waste my time today because he knows I want to be head of the class. He doesn’t want me to be though. I think Finny’s trying to hurt my studies. When we went to the tree again Finny wanted to jump side by side with me. I think I made a mistake today though. When me and Finny were on the limp I shook the limb and Finny fell and got hurt. I feel like I’m responsible for this and I feel terrible about it. I hope he ends up being okay.
