When Charlie first went to school in Colby, many of the people didn't like her because she was new. Howard was the only person who was nice and would hang out with Charlie. When Charlie walked into the line at school wearing Jackie's majorette boots that were big on her, Audrey Mitchell and her friends started laughing. Barbara writes, " 'Thanks. They're good for kicking,'  and I kicked her skinny shin. Hard." (O'Connor,  25). Charlie kicked Audrey because she and her friends were smirking and laughing at her boots and she did that because of her quick temper.
