Quote by Amber R. Duell

“Looking at him, I felt like I was missing a place I had never been. The way he watched me sent lava racing through my veins. I knew him. Somehow, I knew him. The longing for something I didn't understand quickly bubbled into panic, and one foot slid back towards the door.”

“Hey," Arnold shot Hector a small glare. "Emma's worth every second of my time. She's the only girl for me. There's not anyone else who could hold a candle to her." "That's nice," said Hector as Emma hid behind a row of lockers while the two boys walked by. "It's great to have unrealistic and dangerously high expectations. Maybe, I should make 'High Hopes' your ringtone." "Just keep it up, Hec," Arnold grinned as he shook his head. "I'm just saying that you need to keep your options open until you know it's a sure thing." "Like you and Pria?" "Exactly, like Pria and me! We're soulmates, y'know? Reincarnated lovers from eons ago in vain of Romeo and Juliet." "You're a total spaz. You know that, right?" "Hector Spazz Ramirez. I like the sound of that. Y'know what also has a nice ring to it?" "What?" "Mrs. Pria Spazz Ramirez! You think I should run that by her later?" "Definitely go for it. Put a ring on it." "But should I do it before or after French Class?" "See? Now, I can't tell if you're still joking." "Oh, I am." "Thank goodness." "Or am I? I really don't know anymore.”

“What would you do if it were you at the crossroads?" "That depends on what each one offered," Emma mused. "You got any ideas?" "One road is the path that everyone else tells you that you'll do great on, but you lose everyone in your life that matters; and the other is you spending your life the way you always wanted to... like riding on a Tilt-a-Whirl with the greatest friends you could ask for, no matter how much it made you want to hurl." "You did come close to chucking out your guts, didn't you?" Emma grinned. "Me?" Arnold smiled back. "I was talking about you." "Okay, so it's all about me now, huh?" "Oh, definitely," Arnold chuckled, "it always will be.”

“Well, you found me," I said. "I guess you're going to call and report me to Mr. Louis now..." "Eventually," she said, "but first I wanted to tell you that I know how you feel... if you'll stop being a total jerk for two seconds. Can you?" "I don't know," I told her. "My longest period of not being a jerk is only one second, two might be stretching it, but I'll try my best.”

“You didn't let me finish," said Julie. "It's weird... because I love you too." Tears poured down Julie's face. "I never told you this, though, since ― since I haven't felt loved in such a long time! The more that I wish it wasn't real, the more I know it is, and it terrifies me as nothing has ever done before." Jason walked closer to Julie and grasped her hand. "I am not your father, Julie, I would never hurt you." Jason leaned in closer to Julie, so close that it seemed as if their hearts were beating as one, their lips slowly meeting in a passionate kiss. Jason wiped the tears off Julie's snow-white cheeks, which now had the faintest trace of red. As they slowly moved apart, Julie grinned despite herself. "I just wanted you to know where I stand with us," said Jason. "But if you need time to think about... well... I'll be waiting.”
