When Gene came back to Devon I was playing and around and having a snowball fight, I drew him in and he started to fool around with me. Then Gene asked me if I can play sports and stuff with my leg. I told him that it felt like my leg was getting better and my bone was heeling. Later when Gene and I were relaxing in our room, Brinker came in and asked about Leper. Gene told him the sad news and Brinker insisted that Leper was crazy all along, that he was "cracked." All the guys are getting closer and closer to enlisting. They have been choosing the military branches they want to join. I think that Gene isn't going to enlist. I hope it isn't because he feels badly for me. I love joking with Gene about his feats in the 1944 Olympics. He'll be a champion someday.
That night, Brinker came in to our room and told us he was bringing us somewhere. It ended up being the assembly room. There were a bunch of boys in there interrogating us about my accident. I ended up getting so overwhelmed by everything and ran out of the room crying. As I ran I fell down the marble staircase.
