Looking for Alaska is split up to two parts -- before and after. Referring to before and after Alaska has past away. The main character Pudge (Miles) is from Florida, and is sent off to Culver Creek boarding school, the same school his father attended. At his old school, Pudge was very awkward and unsocial and he was curious to know how his future would turn out. Pudge's specialty is knowing famous people's last words. When he arrives at school, he meets his roommate and soon to be best friend, the Colonel (Chip). Immediately, Pudge also became friends with the infamously troubled, beautiful Alaska Young.
As the year passes by, not only does Pudge become close with his new friends, but he also tries new things, particularly the things you try in high school that you don't want your parents to know. He starts smoking by pure pressure, and also begins drinking. He also begins sexual relationships, which he never had at home. Suddenly, one night when they were playing a prank on "The Eagle", otherwise knows as the dean, they get a little bit too drunk, and Alaska runs off and gets killed in a car crash.
Afterwards, Pudge and the Colonel are stuck, speechless for months. Finally, when they decide to climb out of their shell they so greatly buried themselves in, they try to find out what Alaska was after when she drove on. They had many predictions, they thought that she ran off to her boyfriend in collage, or was mad because she had cheated on him. After months of investigation, they finally find the answer, relieved but still holding a piece of Alaska with them.
