Continuing from my previous summary, Charlie had finished his letter and now was explaining a new day. He starts off by also saying how Susan and was at the meeting with all of Michael's friends with the guidance councilor. Susan talks about how she misses Michael greatly and that she remembers how Michael once told her that she was the most beautiful girl that he'd ever seen and that they went out and she explained how close they were. Charlie then explains how he is always quiet in class and always keeps to himself, until this one kid named Sean noticed him. Sean then waited for Charlie after gym class and said immature things to Charlie and how he was going to give him a "swirly". Charlie then just said how Sean always looks upset about something, and Sean got mad and started punching Charlie. Charlie then just started to do things that his brother taught him in fights. Hitting Sean in the knees, throat, and eyes. Charlie ended up hurting Sean real bad but didn't get into any trouble. Some kid ended up telling the principle that Charlie only fought in self defense and that Sean started the whole thing.
A signpost that I noticed in this book was an A-ha moment. I noticed this sign post when Charlie started to explain how this one girl Susan was changing. He explained how she used to be nice and fun to be around in middle school, but after she entered high school, he grew a bit taller, got prettier, and took her braces off she started acting all weird. Acting dumb around boys, and doesn't say hi to Charlie anymore in public. Charlie then noticed and realized that many people are bound to change when they meet new people. This A-ha moment was important because I predict that later on in the book Charlie is also going to change and he might realized something is up when things go bad. I believe that Charlie noticing this was a good thing because it help Charlie become a more aware on how the changes are going and if they are good or bad.
