| Quote #7 And then I felt really sad because I thought maybe I was different from how Mary Elizabeth saw me, too. (3.10.17) |

| Quote #8 The nights he would pick up someone always made him sad. (4.5.24) |
Charlie's not the only sad one, of course. Patrick is using sex to get over Brad, but it's not quite working the way he intended. Is Stephen Chbosky trying to send a message here, or is he just telling it like it is?
| Quote #9 I couldn't really tell if [Sam] was happy or sad, but it was enough just to see her and know she was there. (4.13.51) |
