I say dawn for the first time. It began as a strang gray thing not as the gorgeous fanfare over the ocean as i exspected. Phineas was still sleeping, I turned over and tried to fall asleep again but i couldnt. So layed down and watched the gray sky. The ocean began to perked a little from the reflection of these colored silvers in the sky. There was bright high lights shone on the tips of waves, and beneath the surface i saw a midnight green. The beach was dead and a spectral gray-white. Then finally it was totally white and stainless.
Phineas woke up talking his words, " That was one of the best night sleeps iv ever had''. There was time for a short swim and before i finished my sentance he was running down the beach taking his clothes off as he ran. He jumped in the water and enjoyed his fast swim. Finny told me that i worked to hard with everything in school and out. ''Nobody at Devon had ever been so sure of graduationg then you are", is what he told me. "you want to be ahead of the class, so you can make a speech on graduation day". Those words keep replaying inside of my head. I thought it was a pretty well thought out goal to have, it was rational and it could happen if i did my best at everything i did.
Finny wanted to reck my studies, maybe he was jealous or maybe he just didnt care. He always got Ds in every class and seemed to be okay with it. He was a very good athlete and was ahead of me in that i have to admitt. After this i had become an even better student, not like i wasnt before. Me and Chet Douglas never got along but for some reason we didnt bump heads as much and it began to make me feel better knowing we were okay and he wasnt just my biggest rival in the class anymore.
