Long Answer
1. Charlie demonstrates strength by telling Ben he no longer wants to see him after Charlie sees Ben with his girlfriend at the school gates. Charlie understands he is being used, and he chooses to break off the relationship instead of allowing the unhealthy behavior to continue, even though he was enjoying seeing Ben and finds Ben very attractive. Later, Charlie also stands his ground when Ben insists that they keep seeing each other. It is only the physical aspects of Ben’s assault that Nick protects Charlie from.
2. Charlie’s friends are confused about why he would hang out with Nick, who is such a blatant “jock,” and Charlie is so far out of Nick’s friends’ circle that they only know him as the “gay kid.
