“This is my friend, Sebastian.' 'Best friend,' I blurted out and then wanted to punch myself in the face for sounding so dumb. At this rate, I'd be painting nails with her any day now. Thank God, Jaden wasn't here.”

“I have to bite my lip not to lean down and kiss her. God, I want to kiss her so bad”

“Here was my epicness, because despite how things turned out, I wouldn't be anywhere else. I wouldn't want anyone else to take care of her. To watch her sleep.”

“Jaden: "Dude, you've found something wrong with every girl. I'm about to play this one solo if you can't make up your mind."Bastian: "We're not trying to decide between a Big Mac or a chicken sandwich here. This is some serious shit. We want epicness, we have to be choosy.”

“I grab her arms and pull her toward me. Now she has her arms wrapped around my waist and we’re chest to chest. She’s laughing and I almost want to laugh with her. For a second it feels real and okay. The knot in my gut loosens and I’m not scared to breathe.”

“—Primero de todo, estás loco. Soy mucho más caliente que tú. Y segundo, estoy siendo serio, hombre. Somos como, Batman y Robin. Scooby y Shaggy. En realidad, ninguno de esos dúos tiene nada que hacer con nosotros. Somos Sebastian y Jaden. ¿A quién voy a conseguir para que me ayude a ver a las chicas? Quiero decir, ¿quién más podría lograr ese baile de “I’m Sexy and I Know it”, sino nosotros?”

“A laugh jumps out of my mouth, surprising me. I can’t even remember the last time I laughed and it puts me on edge. I suddenly want to do the same thing to her. Let her see how it feels to teeter on that cliff.”
