1 " It's hard not to look sneaky when you're sneaking. "
― Lily Anderson , Undead Girl Gang
2 " Most of witchcraft is just being present. "
3 " Spells are just prayers with more steps and a name that scares people. "
4 " A scoop of dried rosemary goes into the bag, followed by salt. Sometimes, magic looks a lot like how my mom prepares chicken. "
5 " You wouldn't understand. It's a dead girl thing. "
6 " The best lie is always the truth. "
7 " Everything is unfinished - our whole lives. "
8 " I don't forgive. I'm a Taurus. "
9 " We can't all subsist on buttered noodles and self-righteousness. "
10 " There’s no one thing that makes Caleb creepy. It’s not that he licks his lips until the skin shreds or that he talks incessantly about being “one of the nice guys” or even his habitual sweatpants boners. Rather, it is all of these things as a whole that lends to his overall air of Total Fucking Creep. An aura of Men’s Rights Activist. Eau de Internet Troll. Musk of Mansplainer. "
11 " Oh great. Another clique I’m not cool enough to join. Possibly literally. "
12 " No one likes a helicopter witch. "
13 " No way,” I blurted, the nerd quadrant of my brain clicking faster than the “don’t geek out at strangers” portion. "

14 " Don’t be ableist. I already told you, Ever, I’m awkward.” She took another bite of her sandwich. “And awkward people can get away with anything. No one’s going to think, Oh, she shook up that soda. They’re going to say, Oh, that poor weird girl had an accident. And now they’ll discount everything else I do all summer. Which will be useful to us when we enter the Melee. People want you to be one thing. If I’m weird, then people will forget that I’m also a genius who’s here to win. "
15 " Caleb loves to slip mentions of my weight into conversation to see if I’ll snap. If I do, he’ll throw his hands up and say he’s just kidding loud enough for everyone around us to hear, so that it sounds like I have no sense of humor and he’s hilarious. "
16 " It's normal for witches your age to attempt big, messy magic and have it go wrong. That's why it's best to practise in a group. "
