Summary:
Miles Halter is tired of his boring, foreseen life in Florida. He leaves his home to attend his junior year at Culver Creek Boarding School in Alabama.

They were all hanging out in Alaska’s room, drinking to celebrate their victorious prank they pulled on the Weekday Warriors. The phone rang and it was Alaska’s boyfriend calling because it was their anniversary. The call ended in a terrible fight and she leaves
