1 " It was deeper than some boy thinking she was cute. It was more like she was food and he was hungry. It was as if Mars needed her to survive. "
2 " He hadn’t treated me with the love and compassion I wanted, but I was worthy of that love, and someday some boy would have it for me. I hadn’t found it yet, but I would find it soon. "

3 " ok so quite some time ago, I think it was around 2012 I read a book about this young girl who was mute and I don't remember much of it but I do remember that she befriended another girl and she was also friends with some boy who she would play HORSE with and she said one word in the entire book which was " STOP!" and her father abused her. I know this probably isn't helpful information but if you know what book I'm talking about please help me out "
4 " Hey. What did you do to your - I mean, you look different." My cheeks go immediately hot. Not that your average onlooker can tell, given all the makeup I'm wearing. " Frankie and I were just messing around this morning." " Oh," he says, tying the paper from his straw into little knots. " It looks nice, I mean. I just can't see you, that's all." I make a mental note to ditch the makeup tomorrow. Then I get mad at myself for letting some boy that I just met dictate what I do with my own face. Then I get mad at myself for getting mad at myself and remember that I, too, prefer the natural look. "
5 " Even years from now, once I've stopped drinking, I will never stop trusting extremes. I will always believe that anything worth having is worth having in excess. The good things are worth hoarding until you have a cookie-fat ass, sex-aching loins, joy that fires through you like popping popcorn, or love, the weakness at the sight of some boy who makes your chest ache like indigestion. If it's good for you, it ought to be good for you in any amount, and you should track down every available bit of it. And if it's toxic, if it turns your liver into a hard little rock of scar tissue, or curls your memory at the edges like something burned in a fire, or makes your stomach flop, or your mind ache, or your personality contorted, you shouldn't buy into the bullshit about temperance.
