Asking Questions and Wondering
The book I am reading is Looking for Alaska by John Green. The book starts of talking about this guy named Miles Halter who was starting his first year at Culver Creek Preparatory, he was going to start Junior Year . His parents were throwing him a go away party because he lived in Florida and he was going away to Alabama for high school. He had told him parents that nobody was going to show up because he had no friends in high school. The only two people who showed up was this short blonde with her boyfriend Will. Once they had left his parents sat down with him to talk with him. They asked him if was because he had no friends the reason he wanted to leave to another state. He thought about it before he answered and then responded saying that that was not the reason.
The next day they headed out early in the morning in their SUV to Florida. When they got their it was extremely hot. It didn't take them long to unload his stuff between them three. He was surprised when he first saw his room, he imagined it with carpet, furniture and a private bathroom. It was the opposite of what he thought it would be. The worst part of it all was that there was no air-conditioning. Once they were done putting all the things in the room they said their goodbye's and then he was all alone in the room. The only thing he wanted to do was cool off, so he decided before he took a cold nice shower he would unpack everything he bought. Once he was done with his shower he wrapped a towel around his waist and when he opened the door all he saw was a short muscular guy with brown hair. He was nervous the fact that he was meeting his roommate naked. The guy walked over and said " I'm Chip Martin". He responded saying " I'm Miles Halter, nice to meet you". He grabbed his clothing and headed back to the bathroom. When he came out he asked Chip where his parents where. He said his was dad was in California and his mom was probably driving off campus.
-My question here is, why did he want to leave to a different state?

- I'm wondering if he felt relived he had someone to talk if he is hoping to make friend with chip?
- Another question I have is what was did he think about Chip?
