Takumi, you gotta stop stealing other people’s problems and get some of your own.” Takumi started up again, but Alaska raised her hand as if to swat the conversation away. Guess you went for a swim, huh?” And she said it with such casual malice that I felt that everyone had known, and I wondered why the whole damn school agreed in advance to possibly drown Miles Halter. Alaska, this is Pudge. Chapter 1 - One hundred thirty-six days before. They said it was because of you” I said, and my voice betrayed a hint of annoyance. Chip introduces introduces Miles to Alaska Young, who lives in room 48, and who provides cigarettes. “Too bad I love my boyfriend.” I stared at the knotted roots of the trees on the creek bank, trying hard not to look like I’d just been called adorable. Yeah. Maybe the Eagle just got lucky.
I’d seen her once or twice before, but the Colonel never introduced me to her and didn’t have a chance to that night. This did not prepare me for the unique sort of heat that one encounters fifteen miles south of Birmingham, Alabama, at Culver Creek Preparatory School.

Usually, it was smoking or being in a girl’s room after seven.
I picked up on about the ninth ring. Miles feels paralyzed and is unable to sleep after this.
Chapter 2 - One hundred twenty-eight days before. But look, you’re going to get in trouble. The Eagle explains to Miles that the death was instant, that she hit a cruiser without even swerving, she drove right into it. I stifled a laugh.
But only the Eagle lives in the dorm circle and he sees all. So where are your parents?” I asked from the bathroom. You’re out of cigarettes, aren’t you?” she asked without looking up. It needed to be said, but the words made the whole thing horribly uncomfortable, like watching your grandparents kiss. To say that I had low expectations would be to underestimate the matter dramatically.
The father’s in California right now.
AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! "This isn't milk. They’re like Radiohead meets the Flaming Lips. I knew I ought to cry, but I’d lived with my parents for sixteen years and a trial separation seemed overdue. I put on my freshly starched green shirt and the three of us gathered up the Colonel, Sara, Lara and Takumi, and then walked to the gym to watch the Culver Creek Nothings take on Harsden Academy, a private day school in Mountain Brook, Birmingham’s richest suburb.
