Every day I hold my breath until I see her. Sometimes in class, sometimes in the hallway. I can't start breathing until I see her smile at me. She always does, but the next day I'm always afraid she won't. At lunch I'm afraid she'll smile more at BT than at me. I'm afraid she'll look at him in some way that she doesn't look at me. I'm afraid that when I go to bed at night I'll still be wondering. I'm always afraid. Is that what love is - fear?
Jerry SpinelliI love surprises! That's what is great about reading. When you open a book, you never know what you'll find.
Jerry SpinelliIf I get a new idea todayโor any dayโI won't run from it. I won't trash it. If it's something I really want to doโI'll do it.
