Top 10 Best Quotes
“Then, Leo will be my friend. He will like my mind. Our brains can kiss. Even if our bodies can’t. Even if he has a girlfriend. It is an intellectual crush. Our brains can have sex. Would I have sex with him? Yes. Brain sex!!!”
“People only tease those they love.”
“But then, he said, "Cute nose." Cute. I have a cute nose. And a cute boyfriend. With cute elk kisses. Also, elk do not sleep standing up. Also, female elk don't have antlers. Also, male elk (bulls) have a harem of cows. Which is maybe why elk popped into my head randomly. Me and Sadie were the cows in Heck's harem. That's weird. But it does explain why I'd randomly think of elks. Elk. Also, though, elk remind me of when we went to Yellowstone—me, Mom, Dad, Mr. Griffin—and saw elk. It was nice. Happy family. And fun. Therefore, elk make me feel happy. And that's probably the real reason for elk randomly popping into my head. Or maybe my mind is a bull with a harem of way too many thought cows! Weirdo.”
“Then, he leaned in and KISSED ME! ON THE LIPS! Strong yet soft. Exciting yet grounding. Optimistic yet real. Closed-lipped and a little bit open. He looked at my eyebrows. And me. Smiling. “I like how your eyebrows are two different shapes.”
“Then she got all teary again and made the scrunchy face with more nodding, and the pain started to come out, but then she worked really hard to reign it in and fight the tears and shook her head side to side as if that would keep it in, which it did, and then she dropped her chin and made a weird motor cry and took a deep breath in and exhaled and nodded and succeeded. Wow. Amazing. It was like watching a transformer or sculptor taking clay through a full range of emotions. Sadie is a true emo artist.”
“Then I stopped and he was looking at my hair, like maybe not even listening, and I blushed like a beet, which I hate. Beets, that is. I threw up once eating raw beets. Stupid. Why did I even do that? It's like eating raw potatoes. And Leo was staring and didn't seem to care about me being a speed-talking beet, like maybe he didn't hear a thing...and was mostly interested in my eyes and hair and how I got sauce on my cheek, which he wiped off.”
“Mike says the studio indulges Leo bc he's a magical starboy. He thinks Melanie puts up w/it bc it's a great credit bc everything Leo touches turns to gold. Maybe one day I'll turn to gold.”
“They're on a retreat!" I yelled out of nowhere, even though I swore I wouldn't say anything. Ever! And now I'm worried I sound insane AND he'll tell someone. Because I'm so confused about being honest!”
“They went to loft downtown. V. cool, artsy, mostly artists, kind of boho wild. There was even a naked guy walking around. I asked why. She didn't know but probably he just needed attention disguised as being artsy.”
“Maybe I don't care. Is that adult too? Occasionally not caring? And eating entire box of chocolate-chip ice cream sandwiches to forget you ever cared? For a few hours, then going back to caring and trying? They're SO GOOD!”
