Woobees

On page 185 Torey says, "I didn't care, the sound of my guitar made me calmer, somehow. Guitars are like woobees..."Torey's definition of a woobee is a security blanket. Torey needs something to calm him down because he is upset and hurt by the way people are treating Bo, Ali, and even himself. Torey is afraid of what is going to happen in the future and he is afraid of being charged because of the call. He also is having problems with Leandra. She keeps asking him what is wrong and he flips on her. She gets upset and refuses to talk to her. 

Chapters 2 & 3 Christopher Creed

"This hard- stepping mom and this pasty- mouthed father are as clueless as two aliens. Chris Creed is about grounded and normal as a chimpanzee. How could people live their whole lives with their kid and not know this?" (pg.25 ch.2) This quote was said by Torey; a mental thought. Mrs. Creed was thanking everyone for searching in the woods during church mass. 

Mrs.Creed explains that her and her husband had no idea that her son was being bullied. Torey was saying how he doesn't understand how parents wouldn't know about big things in their children's' lives without being bad parents.
