1 " I sort of liked the sound of bones breaking. It was like home. "
― Amy Tintera , Rebel (Reboot, #2)
2 " Her smile faded to a more serious expression. "Is everything okay? With Callum?""Fine," I said, taking a bite of meat and avoiding her eyes."He's crazy about you, you know," she said softly, like I hadn't just told her things were fine. "I see other girls looking at him sometimes, and he doesn't even notice. He only sees you. "
3 " Only for a minute. I'll be right back." He plopped the baby in her lap and hopped to his feet. Wren held her at arm's length and frowned. She did not appreciate that, because she immediately began wailing."Here," Wren said, thrusting her in my direction. "Take the mutant baby. "
4 " no matter what he said about us leaving and not working with the humans, his first instinct was to stay and save them, and I liked that about him. I hadn't realized it at first, but I liked that he had a deep sense of right and wrong and stuck to what he believed "
5 " I still have the scars from when they captured me and beat me in the middle of the street.""You don't get scars.""Emotional scars then. "
6 " Maybe you need to take a look at who I am, instead of who you wish I were. "
7 " You could've at least let me know you weren't dead by the way. I was actually kind of sad about that." "That's a pretty incredible sentiment, coming from you. "
8 " Why is everyone hugging you? I asked.I don't know. I'm likeable? "
9 " I plan, you do the punching people in the face part. "
10 " I probably love you,” she said. I let out a surprised laugh. “Probably?” She laced our fingers together and tugged me toward the shuttle, glancing over her shoulder. “Probably. It’s hard to tell with me, you know?” I laughed again. “I probably love you, too. "
11 " Some of the Reboots were gazing at her with such awe and excitement that I wanted to slap them and tell them to stop being weird. "
12 " He made disgusted noises every time I touched him, so I fell entirely against him. He yelled and I ended up on the floor. It was not my most well-thought-out plan. "
13 " you're going to want to get out of my way "
14 " I forgot to breathe for a moment when our eyes met and his lips curved up "
15 " Wonderful, that was just what I needed . More problems "
16 " Wren was silent.She stood completely still next to me, staring straight ahead with that look she got sometimes, like she was either happy or plotting to kill someone. Either way, I loved that look. "
17 " You HARC people are seriously messed up , huh ?""Probably" I said with a hint of amusement."What's it like there ?""Being in the facility isn't so bad, I got beat up a lot the first couple of days, but then that stopped and it was just Wren kicking the crap out of me and that was sort of fun "He gave me a baffled look "Seriously messed up. All of you "
18 " if they killed me, I was coming back from the dead (again) to hunt down the human rebels who told us about this reservation "
19 " Okay, maybe I was slightly jealous. She'd looked at me like I was an alien at first, too, but now I was pretty sure she liked me. Well, more than pretty sure. Mostly sure. As close as you can get to sure without being totally sure. She ad left her 'home' (priosn) for me, and then risked her life and took down an entire HARC facility to save me. I tought that was like Wren's version of 'I'm totally into you.' I'd take it "
20 " the pain was reaching a scream-worthy level , which must have meant I was about to start healing "
