Repression
You didn't very well expect everything to go your way on your very first day of acting like a real person did you? Part of being a "good guy" is not necessarily expecting a "reward" for things you've done. Fortunately even with your low social skills you've realized this fact.
You tell Jessica how you can't wait to see her tomorrow, and how you'll take her on a real date after school. She says she looks forward to it and kisses you goodnight before you leave.
As you sneak back into your house, you think about how much you've changed in one day. For the most part you stood up against things you saw as unjust, yet you still recognized you have to have your own life as well. You'll still have to put up with your Mom's domineering personality and your sister is still a party animal, but you can't change people overnight, let alone the world. All you can do is TRY to do the right thing and hope everything works out for the best.
And so far it looks like it's working out for you. Small victories will lead to bigger ones eventually, you know it will.
Another day arrives and you feel hopeful...
