Summary: Charlie, a troubled freshman, tells of his feelings, and of those that mean much to him. He is starting high school alone because his best friend Michael killed himself the year prior, and has to meet new friends as they all think he is a freak. Thankfully, he befriends Patrick and Sam, two free-spirited seniors. However, Charlie admits to being ashamed of dreaming of Sam that same night.

Quote: “They both told me to have a seat, and they both seemed to mean it, so I took a seat.”

Sig of Quote: You can already tell that Charlie has trust issues, or acceptance issues. But Patrick and Sam seem to be genuine and nice people to Charlie. Having anyone tell him to sit down without it being out of charity is a big deal to him.

Reflection: Obviously, Charlie has several mental problems that he hasnt addressed yet. But he does very well with dealing with them. He is such a bring young man who has too many obstacles in his way. He has to deal with so much, plus his mind works in a different way… He interprets everything he see’s. And everyone. We need more people like him, people who really care, and really listen and see.

Question: What happened to Aunt Helen?
