This is what will happen if you play with fire.

Mr Faye, I read the Catalyst on Friday too but after I put up the blog and saw how the text color was all messed up, I tried fixing it but nothing worked so I didn't wanna put up another messed up blog. So anyway back to the book,  I liked this book but if I were Kate, I would fill my pockets with stones. I don't think I could constantly share my room with somebody, never mind the girl who made life living hell for me. So Kate Malone's father is a priest and so when the Litch's house caught fire and they had to live somewhere else until the house was all fixed up, of course you know he was gonna offer his home. So Teri Litche was not what you would call a nice warm welcome person, or honest. She's kinda like BOOM all up in your face, and she's not scared to beat the crap out of someone. She was mean to Kate when they were in elementary school and then mean to everyone in high school. This is why I feel bad for Kate cause this is not some girl whose house had a fire, this is Teri Litcher, of all the freaking people in the world she had to share her space with the girl who made it her mission to make her life hell on earth when they were younger. Teri pisses me off in the beginning, but as the book goes on you kinda see a little more and learn more about her life. For example Mikey is not her little brother he is her son, figures. But when you find out that it's cause of her father, you kinda sit there for a second just thinking to yourself about how horrible that is. Then you feel sympathy and kinda get a better understanding of why she is the way she is. Back to how Teri pissed me off in the beginning, she has no freaking shame. She stole Kate's watch at a dinner made for the needy in Kate's house, that's number one. Number two the first night that her and Mikey slept there the next morning Kate woke up to find that her necklace from her boyfriend Mitch, was around her stumpy neck. If that were me I would have tackled her to the ground right then and there and shoved pepper up her nose, but that's just me. But of course Kate doesn't say jack so Teri gets away with it. That's number two, there are a lot of other things that Teri does that pisses me off but those two seem to jump at me the most. When Mikey dies from being electricuted, when you read that it kinda punches a whole in your stomach, cause that's just an awful thing for the family and friends that were all helping with the house and Kate and her friends and her dad and brother. With that happening the grief and mourning brings Kate and Teri closer together and it makes Teri seem more human. I think Kate was very strong for putting up with all the crap with Teri, but lets face it. That much irony, can only happen in a book.
