2 " A seal the size of Canada attaches to her soul light. "
3 " I nod and smile and smile and nod, and when she turns away, I form a gun with my hand, place it to my temple, and pull the trigger. This girl is starved for attention. It's amazing to me when people are totally unaware of how bad they are at socializing. "
4 " You’re beautiful. If you believe it, they’ll believe it. "
5 " But let me tell ya, spend every day living only for yourself, every day indulging in little sins that aren’t that big of a deal, and one day I may be showing you the ropes in hell. Amen. "
6 " We girls are prewired to like things that make you suffer. "
7 " I wonder if Blue knows she’s repainting her room.I wonder if he’s asking if she wants a ride to the party tonight.I wonder if he knows what being strangled feels like. "
8 " Someone should have warned me about love's dark underbelly, about the rejection and despair. "
9 " No. No way. That name is reserved for females with grace and elegance, not this girl. This girl is...beastly. "
10 " Sure you do. Everyone wants to play. They’re just afraid of looking stupid. But you know what’s stupid? Not trying. So just…try. "
11 " In this trunk," she says with a serious face, "is God's gift to women.""Chocolate?""No.""Midol?""What? No.""Tampons?""Stop guessing," she says. "
12 " Annabelle laughs. "Oh, so you think you're hot, do you?""Girl, I got swag for days. "
13 " I'll never understand the friendships Charlie has. Friendships where it doesn't take cash or hookups, or saying the right things to stay in the circle. No, Charlie's friendships are different. She tries to protect her people, and they in turn protect her. They accept each other's imperfections and support one another. My friends weren't like her friends, which makes me wonder if I ever had any at all. "
14 " There's the guy who trained me, you sexy son-of-a-bitch. I knew you could do this. I told the assistant, I said, 'Do you even know who you're dealing with here? Pfft. Pfft.'""You definitely didn't say that.""Nope. I sure as hell didn't... "
15 " I throw my head back and laugh long and hard. Then I lean in and whisper in her ear, "You don't know who you're fucking with, princess. Ain't no one do bad like I do. "
16 " People change when shit happens. "
17 " How can someone be cruelto this chick? It’s like picking afight with a chipmunk. "
18 " Because I see you. Even though you try so hard to hide, I see you, anyway. "
19 " I glance in the mirror. Surprise,surprise—I look finger-lickin’delicious. "
20 " Apparently Big Guy has become the new Voldemort, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. "
