The first time Charlie meets Patrick is on a class he known Patrick as “Nothing”. Charlie knows Sam from Patrick when he go watch a game and start talk to her at that time. Charlie is attracted to Sam from the moment he meets her. He evens had an erotic dream about her the night after he meets her. Sam and Patrick become Charlie best friend but they are not the same age as him.
As a kid Charlie was really naïve. For example the time his brother organized the party when his mom and dad away and Charlie was supposed to stay in a room. The couple is his brother friend comes in and as if they can use the room, Charlie just said yes because he did not know that they were going to do something bad. He knew what they doing what they were doing was wrong yet he did not even stop them, but on the middle of the book things are different Charlie has matured a lot. At Bob’s party he saw Patrick and Brad kissing. Patrick explained how Brad did not want anybody know that he was gay, Charlie understood that fact. It I true that people try to hide these things. Not many people are open to the public about liking the same gender as you because they are scared in how most people react to it. This shows that the parties Charlie attends to are beneficial for him because it introduced him to factors of life that one must know about and understand.
