When i woke up from sleeping, i remember that it wasn't exactly beautiful, but it was kind of gray. "It began not as the gorgeous fanfare over the ocean i had expected, but as a strange gray thing, like sunshine seen through burlap." After a while, the color began to appear. If i can remember, i had a test that same day too, it was the first test i ever failed. "I flunked it; I knew I was going to as soon as i looked at the test problems. It was the first test i had ever flunked." Then i remember the conversation that me and Finny had about "trying to hard". I was aiming to be valedictorian, anf Finny called me out on it but i don't think i cared that much, i wanted both of us to be on top. I remember i became a great student after that talk with Finny, i don't know why. I was always a good student but, not this good. Finny wasn't the best student long ago, he got grades that were almost failing, and i was shooting to the top of the class, i remember that Finny actually started to study more that summer too. We went to the tree again, Finny wanted both of us to jump, a "double jump" if i recall. I remember that when he was going to jump, i kind of jumped on the branch, it made him lose his balance and he hit the ground hard, he shattered his leg.
