'Hey. Is this your first year?' 'Yeah. Yeah. I'm from Florida' 'That's cool. So your used to the heat.' 'I wouldn't be used to this heat if I were from Hades,' I'd joke. I'd make a good first impression. //Oh, he's funny. That guy Miles is a riot.// That didn't happen, of course. Things never happen like I imagined them." (Green Page 8)
 * Quote:** "I imagined the conversation:


 * Explanation:** This shows how Miles hopes for things to turn out a certain way, but they never do. This happens throughout the book. His roommate, the Colonel, introduces him to some of their classmates. Alaska Young is one of them. Miles (Pudge) immediately starts to like Alaska. Alaska, however, already has a boyfriend. Another example of this is when two of the rich, 'Weekday Warriors' takes Pudge out of his room in the middle of the night and ties him up in duct tape, they then proceed to throw Pudge into the lake. Pudge has a lot of hopes and for some reason, everything always goes wrong for him.


 * HOTQ:** To what lengths do you think Pudge would go to get Alaska to like him back?


 * Answer:** I think that Pudge had developed a very good relationship with Alaska. I believe that they will become extremely close friends. Pudge doesn't seem like the type of character to try and steal someone's girlfriend, therefore I do not believe that he will directly try and steal Alaska from her boyfriend. I do, however, think that Pudge will try and become extremely close friends with Alaska so that when her and her boyfriend break up, He would be there to replace him.


 * Connection:** This section connects to the book //Twilight//. Miles really likes Alaska, just like Jacob really liked Bella. Alaska, however, just like Bella, already has a boyfriend. This section shows the lengths that both of these characters would go to to try and make Alaska, or Bella, like them back
