1 " I should love her like there is an ache that won't go away unless I'm with her. "
― Amy A. Bartol , Under Different Stars (Kricket, #1)
2 " I'm stone, nothing touches me-nothing. "
3 " You cannot thrive under the wrong stars, Kricket… the stars here are in opposition to you… can’t you feel it?… Let us take you home. "
4 " I prefer my justice to be blind. "
5 " War sounds romantic, heroic even, until everyone you know starts dying. "
6 " I’m used to holding on to nothing as tight as I can. "
7 " I’d break every rule for you. "
8 " I told him that when we first met... I felt like a butterfly trapped in a net. But... I told him that the more time I spent with him, the more I began to realize how much he means to me I told him that since it seems to be my destiny to dodge raindrops... I was grateful to be dodging them with him. So, I promised him that it would always be his name on my mind when I start my rotation... and when I go to bed each evening... and every quiet moment in between. It will be his name... savored on my lips... stretched across my heart... worshipped by my body... and branded in my mind... until death do us part... and forever after that. "
9 " She's in your head, Trey.""My head, my heart, my blood," Trey responds immediately. "
10 " I’m just saying that when there is little left to lose, the consequences of one’s actions don’t carry the same weight…painful or otherwise. "
11 " We have to make the stars align for us now-- find a way for us now to get burned for being together." - Trey to Kricket "
12 " Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. I’m used to holding on to nothing as tight as I can. "
13 " I can't figure out what's wrong with her feet! -Nothing's wrong with my feet! -They are an alluring shade of pink. -Jax, that's nail polish! "
14 " But…I told him that the more time that I spent with him, the more I began to realize how much he means to me. I told him that since it seems to be my destiny to dodge raindrops…I was grateful to be dodging them with him. So, I promised him that it would always be his name on my mind when I start my rotation…and when I go to bed each evening…and every quiet moment in between. It will be his name…savored on my lips…stretched across my heart…worshipped by my body…and branded in my mind…until death do us part…and forever after that. "
15 " Trey, I thought that the Znou was beautiful and I wanted to keep it,” I say, explaining myself to him. “I wasn’t trying to kill myself. If I get suicidal, you’ll know ’cuz I’ll be dead. The only thing I’m feeling right now is homicidal, so watch your back. "
16 " It’s when the crickets stop singing that you know the enemy is near and the battle is about to begin. "
17 " If I touch her, she’ll have my soul,” Trey replies. "
18 " He was telling us that your voice will give comfort when the night becomes its blackest,” he replies. “And I’ll protect that voice with my body, my mind, and my spirit . . . because without it, I’m alone in the dark. "
19 " Cuz I look like Barbie.” I reply, knowing they can connect the dots. “Bad girls don’t like Barbie?” Michael asks, both his eyebrows rising. “No. Bad girls want to rip Barbie’s head off and flush it down the toilet, "
20 " Don’t you ‘Kitten’ me! "
