Summer Post 1

I am reading Looking for Alaska by John Green for my summer reading project. The Main characters in Looking for Alaska are Miles or Pudge, Chip or the Colonel and Alaska Young. The book is written in 1st person in Miles'  perspective. Miles is considered somewhat shy and not social in his hometown, partly because when his parents hosted a going away party for Miles and his "friends" only two people showed up and they had no intent to stay. This is Miles' first year at Culver Creek he was put in a room with Chip, a stocky kid for Alabama who has been at Culver Creek since he was a Ninth Grader. I was just introduced to Alaska in the book and all I know is that she a girl who has cigarettes that Chip gets from her. Pudge or Miles seems to really like her. I think that from what I have read that Pudge will start to get a crush on Alaska and find out that Colonel and Alaska have a thing going on and that will get Pudge jealous and upset. I think that Pudge and Colonel will start to dislike each other. But I still question Why did Pudge want to the Culver Creek Boarding School in the first place?
