1. One example of loyalty Gene has for Phineas is that he feels that he's become part of him. He wants to do sports for Finny because he don't think that chance will ever come back for him and he wants to make him proud and happy. Gene, probably was a little bit jealous of Finny's skills at sports but to push or shake the limb and make him fall off sounds a bit to harsh. Everyone gets jealous at one point in their life but Gene couldn't hurt his friend to gain the best athlete in the school. Everyone has gotten bad thoughts in their head about hurting someone but doesn't acutally do it. The people that do hurt others really have mental issues. But that's away from the point.
2. Also, Gene stuck up for Phineas even though he wasn't there. Quackenbush was being mean and saying mean things about something Finny wouldn't approve of and being a good and faithful friend that Gene is, he said something to him. Gene comes off to be the follower but more educated one of Phineas and him. Sticking up for someone and knowing that it could come back at you and hurt you is really friendship. Friendship can have lots of different definitions but trust is a big factor when it comes to defining a friend and choosing friends. Gene and Finny have a good bond.
3. Another reason Gene is a good, trustworthy friend is because he didn't want any other roomate than Finny. Even though he knew he might not be coming back he still kept it full. Friends get into fights, not everyone agrees on everything and arguements arn't always that bad, being different and not wanting to be the same same is a good quality, sometimes. Gene was surprised and glad when Finny showed back up at school. They need some more bonding and fun times and a boy like Gene that is good at school and a boy like Finny that's good at sports, other than fighting they can teach each other how to get better at both of those things.
