Extra Credit: Gene's Perspective

It was all just purpose.
He seemed to have everything.
Me, I have my books, and that's It.
But I'm not even sure I have those anymore.
He is ruining my life.

We stood on the limb pertruding over the water.
Everything seems beautiful from this view.
The golden glow of the sun sinking behind the horizon, leaving a small glow of light on everything.
Including Finny.
*sigh*
His movie-star tan, his perfect golden body, accented by the leftover sparkling glow bouncing off the water.
I get a thought suddenly.
A horrible one at that, and then Finny is lying crippled on the ground.
The next few days blur by.
I find out his sports career is over.
That I ruined it.
For good.
Sorry Finny, it was all my fault.
But, you ruined me first.
