1 " You are the sun, I try to say, You are the most important. You are the only light that's ever truly pierced my armor. You are the happiness and the spark and the one girl who never ran, who never cowered, who saw through my facade. I will never meet another girl like you, I will never want anyone as much as I want you. I don't deserve you. "

2 " It comes true because we're wise, dear. "
3 " Hiding is for babies. And ninjas. "
4 " Hogwarts didn't even send me a letter and I haven't actually forgiven them for that. Wait until I go to London and find Platform Nine-and-Three-Quarters and slip through to the other side and unleash my rage. I'll make Voldemort look like a sock puppet. And I'll make-out with Draco. And I'll train a bunch of house-elves to fan me and bring me grapes - "
5 " Living is really weird. You never get used to it. But it happens anyway. And sometimes you find things that make it a little more comfortable, and you try to hold on to those things, and the tighter you hold, the faster they slip away. "
6 " Listen to me carefully, sweet girl. Don’t live any other way than the way that makes you happy. If you aren’t happy, leave your lover. If you aren’t happy, quit the job. If you aren’t happy, do more to make yourself happy. Because you are the only one who can make yourself happy. "
7 " - and I’d be honored to try marriage with you - ” Jack smiles. “- you big stupid idiot. "
8 " Anyway, I like you but you're ruining my life. Bye. "
9 " Sometimes when life kicks you in the ass, you have to kick it back. In the nuts. With steel-toed boots. Essentially, if someone, anyone, kicks you, it is very mature to take the high-road and not kick them back. But it’s not fun. And I’m all about fun. One hundred percent fun. One fundred percent. "
10 " People like you - you don't find very often. He'll be back." "And when he comes back, I will behead him." I announce. "You'll greet him," Kayla says sternly. "With a hug." "I will greet him with a hug. To his torso. Which will be missing a head. "
11 " You are the sun, I try to say. You are the most important. You are the only light that’s ever truly pierced my armor. You are the happiness and the spark and the one girl who never ran, who never cowered, who saw through my façade. I will never meet another girl like you, I will never want anyone as much as I want you. I don’t deserve you. "
12 " Just one punch. In the eyeball. With a spoon. "
13 " Newsflash; not everything thatdrops from your gorgeous dumb mouth isthe truth.” There’s a pause. “Ah, shit. I just called you gorgeous. Now I have to commit seppuku.”“Don’t you dare,” I mumble into her neck. "
14 " Life is too long to be sad. "
15 " I love you,” I blurt. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for saying it, but I love you. "
16 " But what kind of barbed love could I offer her? I’mbroken, shattered like a mirror of lies. She would try topick up my pieces and only cut her delicate fingers onthem. Any love I could give her would hurt her more,when all I want to do is heal her. I want to build herback up, not tear her down with me. She is tooimportant. "
17 " What about your funeral, eh?” She asks. “You mean the one that is never going to happen ever because I am going to gather the seven Dragonballs and wish for eternal life?” She laughs. “Yeah, that one. What’d you want for it?” I muse it over for all of six and a half seconds. “Makeouts. Naked dancing. Maybe a cake. "
18 " Yes, well, now I am an extremely mature, responsible adult, and I can do things like discuss my trials and tribulations calmly.” “Uh-huh,” Gran says expectantly. “Such as making out. I did actually make out with someone.” Gran waits. “I mean, I punched him before I made out with him. But it was a mature punch. "
19 " I’m going to the library to taunt an animal dumber than me. Boys count. "
20 " But this boy. This stupid, wonderful boy just might be worth it. "
