Quote #7
All I did was think about my personal evolution. Where did I belong with my relative innocence gone? Where did I fit? I felt like I had fallen into a critical state of limbo […] I wondered if I should confess that her sweet, intelligent little Kristina did not exist anymore. (GUFN Again.2-7)
Getting grounded (again) puts Kristina in a position where everything she's been through seems to suddenly catch up with her and she realizes exactly how much she's changed. Again, it all comes down to how Bree doesn't belong in Kristina's normal habitat, but having given herself over to Bree, Kristina isn't sure how to be herself anymore.
Quote #8
He shed his shirt and the moon revealed perfect, tanned muscles. He started to unbutton mine, silencing my protest.
Shhh. Don't say no.
"I can't. I mean, I never…" (Brendan Stoked the Fires.4-6)
Chase, and even Adam to an extent, seems to be able to deal with Kristina's relative innocence—but with Brendan, she finds herself severely unmatched. The fact that she's a virgin doesn't matter to him. To Brendan, sex is something that's expected and is non-negotiable. Brendan, for the record, is completely wrong in his understanding.
Quote #9
The very monotony I had disdained cried out to me: I am essential. Without me you will wither. (Day One.5-7)
Kristina may have originally thought the regular routine and pressures of her life were boring, but she realizes when she returns to school exactly how much she needs them. Unfortunately, Bree has left innocent Kristina behind, and school becomes too strange a place for her to function in.
