Weekly Reading 2

What I am going to blog about this is about questions and wondering. In the book he becomes friends with his roommate, his roommate goes by the name Colonel and he decides to call Miles Pudge. Colonel introduces Pudge to his friends Takumi and Alaska. When he met Alaska he thought she was beautiful. Here is where i'm wondering if they ever fall in love. As I kept reading there was  a part where it said that Colonel told him to go with him wherever he was going to go so all Pudge did was follow since he was like the only friend he had and the fact that he didn't really have anywhere else to go. They went to Alaska's room once they were inside Colonel told Alaska if she had a pack of cigarettes, she replied by saying if he had five bucks he looked and Pudge and then Pudge  brought out five bucks out of his wallet and handed them over to Colonel. Once they had the pack of cigarettes they went to their room and Colonel told him he was going to show him a way he could smoke without the Eagle finding out, (Eagle is like the principal.) He went in the bathroom and turned on the shower with the water to be as hot as it could be that way it would be humid in the bathroom, he then lit a cigarette. He took a hit and then passed it to Pudge, all Pudge did was hold on to it, but then took a hit.What I am wondering here is if he felt peer pressure when Colonel handed the cigarette to him.
