“Sooo, I'm tired of people thinking I'm a freak. I know you can't relate to that but -""Get over it already, will ya?" Candace stood. "You're not Smellody anymore. You're pretty. You can get hot guys now. Tanned ones with good vision. Not geeky hose jousters." She shut the window. "Don't you ever want to use your lips as something other than veneer protectors?"Melody felt a familiar pinch behind her eyes. Her throat dried. Her eyes burned. And then they came. Like salty little paratroopers, tears descended en masse. She hated Candace thought she had never made out with a boy. But how could she convince a seventeen-year-old with more dates than a fruitcake that Randy the Starbucks cashier (aka Scarbucks, because of his acne scars) was a great kisser? She couldn't.”

“It was an image Melody would never forget. Or was it the emotions the image conjured - hope, excitement, and fear of the unknown, all three tightly braided together, creating a fourth emotion that was impossible to define. She was getting a second chance at happiness and it tickled like swallowing fifty fuzzy caterpillars.”

“Viktor was swinging a leather duffle and wearing a black Adidas tracksuit and his favorite brown UGG slippers with a hole in the toe."Worn and old, just like Viv," he'd say when Frankie made fun of them, and then his wife would swat him on the arm. But Frankie knew he was just joking, because Viveka was the type of woman you wished was in a magazine just so you could stare at her violet-colored eyes and shiny black hair without being called a stalker or a freak.”

“Point! -Alicia”

“Never slam a car door. According to the Westchester elite, it's a heinous crime, as heartless as kicking a puppy.”

“Don't ever tell anyone where you bought something. If you get a complement say, "Thank you. I got it in Europe.”

“Massie's frindship is something that has to be earned. Not because she's beautiful or popular but because she's loyal.”

“Is this place called Virgins? Well, I shouldn't be here!-Nina”

“Those fruity drinks better have a lot of caffeine in them or I'll never make it through World Issues.”

“IwantedtoshowmyuniformtomymomthismorningsoIwenttogetmytrashbagand-”

“Am I a vampire?" Massie asked. "Huh?" Alicia asked. "Then why are you keeping me in the dark?”

“Do you work at the grocery store? Then why are you checking me out?”

“Alicia, do I sell fertilizer?" Massie asked."No, why?" Alicia fell for Massie's setup."Then why do you think I give a crap?”

“EW.MY.GOD”

“The Clique.... the only thing harder than getting in is staying in.”

“EH.MA.GAWD.”

“Why limit yourself to just one best friend?”

“Sorry, No conprendo I don't speak Loser.”

“Are you nervous about no longer being a big fish in a small pond?”

“A good boss asks what part she could have played in the problem. And then she asks herself what she can do better next time.”

“It's never too late to fix things with people you love, Massie. Kendra said.That's true. William agreed.”

“And when things start to go wrong, a good boss doesn't just fire everybody and start over.”

“One question:do you want to hang ten or BE a ten?"-Massie Block”

“The Clique: The only thing harder then getting in is staying in.”

“Claire, did I invite you to my barbeque?" Massie asked, her neck tilting to the right and her arms tightly crossed."Huh? No. I mean, I don't know," Claire said."Then why are you all up in my grill?" Massie said through her teeth.”
