1 " These kids aren't like us; they'll never be us. They're more like...young Lex Luthors. They've never known a world without the internet. Email. Text messaging. Social media. Likes and views are king, bullying dickheads are inescapable, and genuine social interaction can be almost completely avoided. It makes them really fucking smart technologically and really fucking stupid emotionally. "
― Emma Chase , Getting Schooled (Getting Some, #1)

3 " You were always my girl, Callie. Even after you weren’t any more. "

7 " I have feelings for him. I always have … But these aren’t just left over echoes of a sweet first love. This is something new. A throbbing, breathless attraction to the amazing man he’s become. I want to be near him, to know him, inside and out all over again. And he feels the same way. Garret wants this version of me as much as he always did. Maybe even more. "

9 " Our job isn't to protect them from their own dumb choices; it's to teach them to make better ones. Teach them how not to be a screw-up in a screwed up world. "
10 " What is this to you? What are we doing? What do you want?”Garrett smiles that easy smile that makes me want to lick every single inch of his skin. “This is you and me. The reboot. We’ll talk and laugh and fuck until we can’t move, and probably fight at some point, too. And we’ll… be.”I reach for him. He releases my arms and rolls us to the side, my hands around his neck, my leg draped across his hip.“As for what I want. I want you, Callie. For as long as you’re here. For as long as you’ll let me have you. I want all of you. "
11 " You were always my girl, Callie, even after you weren’t anymore. "
12 " these aren’t just leftover echoes of a sweet, first love—this is something new. A throbbing, breathless attraction to the amazing man he’s become. I want to be near him. I want to know him, inside and out, all over again. "
13 " I want you, Callie. For as long as you’re here, for as long as you’ll let me have you. I want all of you. "
14 " For this year, your life is here. ““And what happens when I go back to San Diego.”“I don’t know. But I know I want to figure it out. And we will, Cal, we’ll figure it out. "
