I will never look at you in the same way ever again. I'll never be that girl again. The girl who comes running back every time you push her away, the girl who loves you anyway.

I wonder what it's like to have that much power over a boy. I don't think I'd want it - it's a lot of responsibility to hold a person's heart in your hands.

But the little things are what make up life

Love is scary: it changes; it can go away. That's the part of the risk. I don't want to be scared anymore.

There hadn’t been one specific moment. It was like gradualy waking up. You go from being asleep to the space between dreaming and awake and then into consciousness. It’s a slow process, but when you’re awake, there’s no mistaking it. There was no mistaking that it had been love.

Maybe that was how it was with all first loves. They own a little piece of your heart, always.

I've always loved the first day of school better than the last day of school. Firsts are best because they are beginnings.
