Perks Of Being A Wallflower: Journal Entry 3

(Pg 61-88) Today it started off with Charlie thinking about what to get for Patrick for Christmas, since he's Patrick's Secret Santa. He would get Patrick a mix tape, a magnetic poem, some water paints with paper, a harmonica and a book about playing it, and a book called The Mayor of Castro Street. At a Christmas party, it was revealed that Patrick was his Secret Santa in which he got Charlie some slacks, a tie, a white shirt, shoes, an old belt, and a suit coat because that's what writers wear. Then after everyone exchanged gifts, Charlie gave Sam a card with a record of the song "Something" from the Beatles and that once he met someone as beautiful as the song he would give it to them. Then Sam would whisper in his ear that she loved him and then they would go upstairs. Then they would talk for while until she told Charlie to pretend for a moment that she wasn't with Craig and then said that she wanted Charlie's first kiss to be from someone who loved him and they would end up kissing. Afterwards she told Charlie to promise to never speak of this, and he did. Flash forward a couple days later, Sam & Patrick have went to the Grand Canyon for Christmas leaving Charlie alone and depressed. Charlie's brother would come back for Christmas where he would get into a fight with his sister over his new college girlfriend that escalated to Charlie's brother saying that at least she doesn't any guy hit her in the face. Charlie's dad would stop the car, they were on their way to their grandparent's house, and would tell them to behave themselves and apologize to each other. While at their grandparent's house, Charlie would talk about how when his grandma married an abusive truck driver, who would hit his grandma and his aunt Rebecca, his great uncle Phil got his friends and they would go beat up the truck driver to death. Then he talked about how his family were depressed that their father left them to start his own life. I predict that Charlie will end telling someone causing Craig to break up with Sam, causing her to no longer be friends with Charlie.
