126 days - 122 days before   Foolery


The chapter starts out with our tall, chicken legged and skinny protagonist, Miles 'Pudge' Halter, waking up to the yelling of his rich-guy-hating roommate and new found friend- Chip 'The Colonel' Martin as he held his (urine soaked) well-worn, once-white tennis shoes by the laces. I mean, imagine the work he'd done to get a hold of those shoes! He lives in a trailer park!

The words,
"Well, now it's WAR!" didn't echo through out the room, no- they're room was much to small for any echoing to happen.

With a terrifying light in his eyes, Chip was determined to ruin the miserable little lives of the people who dared pissed in his pants. And... you know.... Duct taped Miles and dumped him in the lake half naked.

Later that day, after the many struggles Pudge faced in French class, Pudge finds himself in the World Religion class- taught by the notorious (-ly condescending...) Dr. Hyde.
As the one-lunged old man shuffles his way to class, his heavy breathing can be heard in the ever silent classroom. He declared that as he hasn't much time or breath to waste, his will be a lecture class. Little small talk, little scriptures, little worship, more history and information.
I don't really like religion all that well, but religion class might actually be fun and informative if it was more like this. In 50 minutes, he made Pudge took religion more seriously than ever, regardless of whether he believed in one or not.

Personally, Mil- Pudge thinks the Doctor is a genius, no matter how condescending he may seem. I think so too, as a teacher who can keep their student/s interested with the topic alone is a force to be reckoned with. He seldom sounds like a fun guy though, I think I would still prefer Miss Hanna.

We are then later introduced to Sara, the Colonel's (kinda bitchy) girlfriend who is supposed to pick him up for their night at the opera (with her parents I might add), butttt he's dressed shoddily and they ended up being jerks to each other. They're both bad lovers, they deserve each other.

From there, the Colonel found out the reason behind the pissing in his shoes and the almost-killing of Pudge.
