Every guy seems nice until he’s not.

He was wearing a plain white oxford unbuttoned over a T-shirt, but something about the way they fit made him look put together, like an Abercrombie model (well, like an Abercrombie model who had remembered to put on a shirt that morning).

Juliana's a year older than me, but she sometimes seems younger - mostly because she's the opposite of cynical and I'm the opposite of the opposite of cynical.

Basically, the world is a giant shithole. But some of us are capable of imagining something better.

I got lost in him, and it was the kind of lost that's exactly like being found.

I was isolated but not ostracized, ignored but not abused.

Man, I hated not being able to figure someone out. And from the slightly uncertain look he gave me as we all went to class, I suspected he felt the same way.
