Quote by Leah Johnson

“Did you know you have the chance to be the first black queen in Campbell history?” I swallow. I did know that. Of course I know that. But I don’t like it being held against me. I don’t like the implication in her tone. You could make history if you just follow our rules. You could be a real credit to your people if you just straighten up and fly right. You could actually be worth something if you would shut up and take what we give you.”

“We were perched on the precipice of manhood, drunk on our own importance, our futures promising, the present full of opportunity for seemingly endless firsts and lasts--first drink, first kiss, first love, first lay; last dance, last test, last performance, last season, last game. There were many dance and parties to attend: homecoming at both Steptoe and Yeatman, Steptoe's winter formal, holiday celebrations, and, in the spring, proms and the Tennessee Breeders' Cup. At times, it seemed our education was getting in the way of the events surrounding it.”

“Me he levantado justo a tiempo para ir al instituto, la alarma ha sonado después, no me imagino que habrá pasado. Bueno, en realidad habré ido posponiendo la alarma hasta darme cuenta que la he cagado. Me visto rápido, hoy tenemos deporte en el instituto, así que cojo unos pantalones de chándal de mi silla que no huelen demasiado mal, con las prisas, tiro el mando de la consola que me había dejado encima de la mesa y me doy cuenta de que lleva toda la noche encendida, eso no le viene bien después para el rendimiento.”
