Changes

When was the major change in the characters? I believe that out of all the events in this book, that there is one unique event that changed the characters for life. The event that I think of is the party that Hannah and Clay both attended. Hannah was enjoying herself at the party, but then she became overwhelmed. Once Hannah and Clay began kissing, they both felt something special. Clay's feeling was that he finally got the girl of his dreams, but Hannah's was different. She flashed back to what happened with her first kiss. She freaked herself out of a good thing. I don't think the fact that Hannah was drunk helped the matter. Her mind then flooded with many thoughts. She then began to cry and told Clay to leave the room. At that point, Clay knew that he blew his shot with Hannah. Hannah saw something she was not supposed to. I think that once Hannah saw that event it became the end of the line. I think that she gave up on everything. She changed. I also believe that Clay changed again after hearing that event. Clay now knew what that person did and got away with, but if that wasn't bad enough he had to see that person everyday. For Clay to see that person everyday and not beat the crap out of them, he would have to be a strong person. Clay wanted to help Hannah, but he didn't get the chance at the party. He wanted so bad to know Hannah, but he felt that after the night of the party he blew it. He was changed for that moment on.
