Looking for Alaska

The chapter starts with Pudge and the Colonel talking about
the upcoming Basketball match between Culver Creek and some Christian school from Birmingham.

He explained that the Culver Creek has the worst high school basketball team in the entirety of Alabama; but even so- they always beat the Deaf-and-Blind school by more than 30-6.

Although Pudge himself hated sports, hated people who played them, hated people who watched them, and hated people who didn't hate people who played sports; he agreed to watch the game simply because the gym would be the only air-conditioned room in the Creek. I know how that feels like; back in 6th grade I used to watch the HS basketball games just so I can steal their oranges.

During the game; the Colonel lead the cheering; made fun of the players of both teams, and was subsequently kicked out of the room. Pudge followed suit.
The Colonel explained he had a 37 kick out streak to maintain.

The next day, he was called in by Dr.Hyde- that told him 'You've got a lifetime to mull over the Buddhist understanding of interconnectedness. But while you were looking out the window, you missed the chance to explore the equally interesting Buddhist belief in being fully and truly present in every facet of your daily life."
He obviously wrote that down before.

On the first morning of October; Pudge and the Colonel woke up late; and was barely in time to get in to French class.
By night; Pudge was introduced to Blue Citrus Alaska's tiny blue two door Lemon-car. They then grabbed six other people who wanted to come with them, and they drove away to the nearest McDonalds.
There, the eight of them group studied Precalc, with the unexpectedly brilliant Alaska acting as their tutor.
