Flaws

He wants to be normal but knows he is not.
Step dad is a major creep and he worries for his sister.
Physical Reactions
I took a deep breath.
I shot at her, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
Descriptions from the book
He had brown hair like mine and the same thin and frail-looking body I had had until just before my freshman year. I wasn’t frail anymore. (Chapter 1)
I sat up and brushed my sweaty brown hair out of my eyes. (Chapter 2)
Luiz was about five-ten, three inches shorter than me. (Chapter 2)
“Hey, you want to play Xbox at my house?” I asked as I stripped off my sweaty tank top, exposing my tan, muscular chest. (Chapter 2)
They didn’t care about my face. They just liked how the muscles on my chest and abs looked. (Chapter 20)
Sure, I’m a jeek, and I have a freaking awesome memory that borders on photographic, but I still had to look up that information. (Chapter 26)
Yeah, I could be a real jerk sometimes. (Chapter 27)
His dark brown eyes looked so familiar—almost like mine. (Chapter 28)
Tendencies

My mouth fell open and my muscles tensed.

I sucked in a quick breath and then stopped breathing.
Hungry
Stomache growls
Fear/Horror
Chills ran down the back of my spine
My body quivered and my legs gave out.
Repulsed
My stomach turned like I was about to throw up, but it didn’t happen. This was the closest I’d ever come to throwing up since…I couldn’t remember ever throwing up.
It was either eat more and count bites or throw up for the first time in my life.
Nausea swirled inside, but I didn’t throw up.
My stomach twisted. If I hadn’t gone without food since dinner the night before, my body might have actually succeeded in throwing up for the first time in my life.
Attraction
My heart was beating rapidly and my blood was flowing
Nervous
I fidgeted with my pockets as I waited
I stood their fidgeting with my pockets until the bishop began the prayer
Excited
Heart beat faster
Confused
I tilted my head at her and blinked.
I tilted my head at him.
Frustration
I lowered my eyebrows, scowling at for her
Disappointment
My shoulders sank in disappointment.
