"Freshmeat." That's what IT whispers. (42.3)
Andy wants Melinda to know that he's a predator. This terrifies and confuses her. She doesn't get how dangerous he is until he tries to rape her <em>again.</em>

Quote 2
"I never raped anybody. I don't have to. You wanted it just as bad as I did. But your feelings got hurt, so you start spreading lies, and now every girl in school is talking about me like I'm so kind of pervert. (87.8)
If Andy has said stuff like this to Melinda earlier in the school year, she might have believed it on some level. Now she knows better.
