Lana looked at me like I’d just said I’d never watched Bring It On, or something.

I was in love with Scott Bennett. That I had been in love with him my whole life, practically.

I didn't even think about suggesting he take the boots off. There'd probably be a apocalypse or something.

even if vampires were stupid. Especially American vampires. They hung out in places Alaric himself would never have gone, especially if he were immortal. Such as high schools. And Walmart.

It's kind of depressing, if you think about it. I mean, me being so young, and yet so cynical and suspicious.

I don't do alcohol. Or other people's boyfriends. And don't you forget it.

But I’m living proof you don’t have to spend a lot in order to look great.
