“Before last night, the most action I had gotten was from a down pillow.”

“Maybe Jeremy wasn't such an unfeeling robot after all.”

“Hello,Darth Vader," said Jeremy, elbowing me in the side.I was taking deep, loud breaths through my mouth. I do that whenever I'm really nervous.I shut my mouth quickly. Get it together,Levy.”

“Great.Now I looked like a sparkly ghost.”

“Hey,when it came with one of those killer smiles,i'd take it.”

“So,is your brother seeing anyone?"Ew! It took all my energy not to squirm. Or yell, "Run! Run for the hills!”

“T-stop! T-stop!" Liz was yelling. At this point, that was about as helpful as yelling at me that the sky was blue.”

“I just wondered if you still thought I was kind of a jerk," he said, facing the fire."Not at all," I said. "And do you still think I'm a rude girl who doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut?""I never did," he said.”

“Wait,do you need to ask Fozzie if thats okay? I don't want to intrude, you know.""No, it was actually his idea to ask you," Eric replied."Well thanks, Fozzie," I said, looking up at the sky.”

“Hey!" (Me:panting, smiling brightly, determined.)"Hey." (Him:blank face, eyes shifty, but still frustratingly handsome.)"Are you on your way somewhere? (Me:Still smiling, still determined.)"Yup." (Him:Uninterested, taking out a chapstick.)"Well,I'd love to talk, if you want." (Me:trying to remember global warming, nuclear proliferation, everything else more important and sadder than this moment.)"Sure,yeah. Listen, I'm late." (Him:walking away.)"Well,do you want my number maybe?" (Me:determined. Not to cry.)”
