Quote #4
Hands covered my mouth, rough, held my arms, strong, ripped my clothes, vicious.
Fear danced up my spine, jolted my brain, dripped onto the ground.
No! I screamed into dirty flesh. Not this way!" (Hands.1-3)
Kristina experiences a lot in the space of one night, from getting high for the first time to making out with Adam to almost getting raped by a gang of guys. It seems like this should be enough to tell her that this isn't a good lifestyle for her to be involved in, and now would have been an ideal time to bow out, but unfortunately, she only dives in deeper.
Quote #5
Tangled up in each other, a knot of emotions desperate for release. And the more we kissed, the more we talked, the more confused we became. (We Sat on the Floor.1-2)
It should probably tell Kristina something that her relationship with Adam doesn't make anything about her life any clearer—instead it just seems to make things more complicated. Add in Lince's accident/suicide attempt and the fact that Kristina's days in Albuquerque are numbered, and you get a relationship that's basically not headed anywhere.
Quote #6
The monster-fueled inferno built thigh to belly button. Adam's mouth moved lower, inch by trembling inch. I was ready to do it, oh so ready, right that very instant. (Adam.2)
Kristina certainly goes a long way from saying that Adam's not her type to being ready to have sex with him. It's likely that there's a part of her that still isn't ready and that drug use has just lowered her inhibitions by a lot.
