"And I felt very bad for both of them." p. 12
Charlie has seen his sister's boyfriend hit her right in front of him. Although he feels bad for his sister, he also feels bad for the boy, since the boy seemed to be pushed to do it by his sister egging him on. In the end, as Charlie looks at the relationship between his sister and her boyfriend, he concludes that neither one of them are very happy or "meant" to be together. He thinks this because his sister is with a boy who is not worthy of her intelligence or ambition, and her boyfriend is with someone who is mentally superior to him. In the end, I think that Charlie is right, and the relationship will not last.
