The truth is that Finny looks up to Gene as the cool kid. (Page 46) “Finny now felt he had to keep me entertained.” Finny then follows to tell amazing stories. He is trying to impress Gene. When Finny says they are the best friends it catches Gene off guard because Gene feels that Finny is the cool kid and that he should be asking Finny to be his best friend no the other way around.

Hmmm... but wouldn't he then WANT to say "hey, cool kid, yes! you're my best friend"?
I'm not sure the logic works with this answer. 7
