summer entry one

I am currently reading looking for Alaska.The setting is a boarding school for more intellectual kids named Culver Creek. Pudge use to go to public school and while he was there he was living a very boring and uneventful life. He also did not have a lot of friends. So he went to Culver Creek to look for his great perhaps. When he gets there he gets just that when he meets his roommate who goes by the name of the Cornol who then introduces him to the beautiful crazy and unpredictable Alaska Young. The first page of the book just says the word "Before" and then he story starts on the second page. Also at the beginning of each chapter it says a number of days before, for example "100 days before". The actual story never acknowledges what happens when the days gets to zero and what all the is before. I am almost positive it has something to do with Alaska like the first time Pudge kisses her or something of that matter. But i guess i will have to keep reading to find out.
