“او پانزده ساله بود. این یعنی به یک زیرگروه خاص انسانی به اسم«نوجوان»تعلق داشت، مهم ترین مشخصه های این گروه مقاومت اندک در مقابل جاذبه، مجموعه لغاتی از غرولند ها، فقدان آگاهی مکانی، مقدار زیادی فکر به جنس مخالف، و اشتهای پایان ناپذیر برای غلات صبحانه بود.”

“Yet, they don’t know anything about who I am really… like I’m not sure if I know who I am…! They just see what they see. I’m not sure if Ray understands me completely or not, so how are they going to, just looking at my profile photos on their computers clicking away. They just want to feel the inside of me, not get inside of me. (Yah- know.) So anyway, at lunch today. Jenny is somewhat okay, that I want to be with Ray… so she said, at the table smelling through her teeth. The stipulation she gave was only if we keep on nodding terms, like with all the other guys or even girls I am with. So that means that I can have a full-blown relationship, whether I find them attractive if they're popular, hot, or not. That I can only hook up with a girl or boy, yet not stay with them. It made no sense to me. At the time I didn’t get it. Just like I didn’t get it when I saw Maddie was wearing bunny slippers, and a holy bathrobe to school today. Looking like, she was ridden hard and put away wet. I giggled so hard in math class today when she walked into the room; I think I snorted loudly.”
