“You in the back," said the principal. "Don't think you can hide. Tell me. What would you like to be?""Dangerous," said the hidden girl, without a second's hesitation.”

“You don't think I can fight." Tessa said, drawing back and matching his silvery gaze with her own. "Because I'm a girl.""I don't think you can fight because you're wearing a wedding dress", said Jem.

"How do you tell a dangerous one?" he asked. "Their teeth." "So what, you ask them to smile?"
