“See, Red? When life hands you lemons, you know what you gotta donow.”“Wow,” Lauren said. “Yes, Mr. Cliché, I know what I have to do. I makelemonade.”“No,” he said. “You scream, ‘Fuck you, lemons!”

“Hey, Lauren?” he called, and she stopped so abruptly her bag slid off her shoulder. She caught it at the last second and turned, her expression taken aback.Del smirked. “Don’t be so surprised that I know your name. You’re not as invisible as you think you are.”She closed her mouth, looking at him. “I’m not gonna stop calling you Red, though” he added casually.”

“You know something, Red? … I think we got a good thing going on here.”

“I do what I want to do. I refuse to hold back what I’m thinking or what I’m feeling anymore. And if someone doesn’t like it, then they don’t need to be in my life. If that makes me an asshole, then so be it. I don’t want to spend any more time trying to make other people happy. Life is much more enjoyable when you’re surrounded by people who just accept you for you.”

“You look new right now,” he finally said.“New?” He nodded. “Like you just discovered yourself.” Andie felt something jolt through her veins as he added, “It’s hard to explain, but I wish you could see it. It looks good on you.”

“I think I'm going to go. I'll see you this weekend. And just so you know, holding grudges gives you premature wrinkles.""Yeah, well, in this case, not holding them would make you a wrinkle-less fool.”

“If you really want something, you should stop until you get it, no matter what you have to do.”
