Kinda felt bad for Cal

Dude Cal didnt need to talk to girls, girls would come to him anyway. He has the typical pretty boy look that girls that age drool over. As for Andre he may was better at carying the plan out but in the end he didnt really want to kill himself while Cal on the other hand killing himself was what he wanted from the beggining.

Did you watch the same movie as me??? Cal was a total psycho. Andre was way way more normal than cal. Andre had a job, be knew how to talk to people, he was not socially awkward.
Did you see cal at the prom in the limo? he didn't know what to say, the others felt uneasy by him, and expressed it before and after he got into the limo. plus he was the one who wanted to kill himself after, Andre couldn't do it.

Talking about feeling jealous about prom, no he wasnt jealous, he trust didn't understand why he was going. and speaking of the girl cal was with, it wasnt like he had asked her out, she was friends with him for a long time, if it wasnt for her, he would never have talked to any girls in high school.

as far as the leader, cal knew just as much about what they were doing, which is back to my point, cal could not even talk in front of the camera, and was just a quiet person.


man I think you are not a good judge of character or maybe you are very young, or you a are a girl, or both, no offense.

Here's the cold hard reality. If you were in that school, someone like Cal would have killed you whether you felt sorry for him or not. Does that sound like someone who deserves sympathy?

Cal was more introspective and quiet than Andre but clearly just as disturbed. He got a real thrill out of anti-social behavior (egging the house, reciting death poems) and went even more over-the-top crazy than Andre during the actual shooting. I think he and Andre were both troubled disturbed boys and when they met something just clicked. They each recognized the darkness and potential for violence that existed in the other.

Overall Cal seemed more hesitant about the whole thing, but that doesn't mean he wasn't on-board. I think the significance of the poetry slam scene was that it he was having second thoughts at the time and was sort of hoping his stunt for attention would cause people to discover their plan and stop it like Andre said they might. He may have even been trying to get them pulled over by telling Andre to drive with his eyes closed. It's possible that was also his idea with writing Chris the note. But after that it was a done deal as far as he was concerned and after they actually entered the library he ended up taking the leadership role over Andre for the first time in the whole film, which he maintained up to and including their suicide.
