DESCRIPTION OF CHARLIE

Charlie, the main character of the book, is a nice inconspicuous 15- year old boy, who has got a horrible past. The first stroke of fate was the death of his aunt Helen. Then, after some time, his friend Michael killed himself, what wasn’t easy for Charlie. He is a very emotional person, shy and a maverick. Anyway he lives in his own world and isn’t very open-minded in the beginning.

That all is changing when he met Sam and Patrick at a baseball match. He is loosing his heart to Sam immediately. Charlie is a guy, who mostly does the same things like the others. That’s not always the best for him. This is why he starts smoking, takes drugs and drinks alcohol! On the one hand, he was a very well- behaved boy in the past, but on the other hand he has got lots of friends now and the relationship to his sister got better, because he helped her with her abortion. All in all he is nice to everyone and always wants to do everything right, but that’s not the right way in his case. It wasn’t the right decision to have sex with Mary Elizabeth, and kissing Sam during “true or dare” anyway. And so he lost his first girlfriend after a short time. He also was kissed by Patrick although he doesn’t really want it. Charlie has got no self- confidence and he seems to be a very naive boy. But his character is changing until the end of the book…
