But it would be nice if someone noticed me for a change.
“Did you know that your face lights up when discussing books?”
would kill myself if someone said this to me

He was hot and could drive? It was unfair.
“You’re now hot in a nerdy way. You used to just be hot.”
“Go big or go home. If I’m going to piss off Calvin, I want to make him mad.”
levi is 10000% a gemini
“I wasn’t under the impression that you were normal.”
Maybe I would find my person soon.
“I passed English with flying colors.” “I bet you did,” I muttered.
“The line of people getting into marriages for revenge will be coming to us for advice.”
The only thing you deserve to be dealing with is how good your life is. I’m sorry it hasn’t turned out that way.
But I didn’t realize how easy it would be to pretend that things were different.
“I prefer realism. Right now, you’re a pain in my ass.”
V had read it years ago and warned me. A lot of people must have read this and been shocked.
girl bffr
“Trust me, darling. I’m not missing out on a thing.”
And hearing the running water only proved to me that action was one of the sexiest things a guy could do.
“Last night. When you came and said my name. Was it not enough?”
I'd kill myself actually
“Sometimes it feels like I got the short end of the stick with life.”
“Are you sure?” I called. “I mean, you’re kinda like a girl too.” “Nope!”
It was one of my greatest pleasures.

“Do you always have this little regard for yourself, or is this something you’re reserving only for me?”
oooooooooooof
I swiped at my face, trying to will away the tears gathering in my eyes. “They’re a burden. One I can’t get away from. One that you’re mad at.”
this feels a little too real
“They work that way now. Unlike the idiots who came before me, I care, Amy.”
“I want to sleep next to you tonight. I won’t touch you without permission, but I want to be there in case you need me.” “And if I don’t need you?” “Then I get to be next to you anyway.”
I hope I can find this one day
“I come from nothing,” I said with a sad shrug. “So a lot is kinda nice.”
“You remind me of who I was before I realized people were there for me,” Isra said pointedly. “There’s no pride in doing it alone. Only loneliness.”
“And when you’re done with her?” “You’ll be waiting a long fucking time for that.”
“To who?” “To me.”
I’ve lived off of messages and stolen moments, but then I had you. And I can’t go back now.
“Yes, darling. I love you. Even when you’re sick, and every second in between.”
He walked close, his breath ghosting over my ear. “And I could make you feel like she did in the book.”
ok wait......

“Oh, Amy. I did. She’s in everything. Those tulips that are blooming right now? She planted them all those years ago. I see her in those. I see her in bright days and in the stars at night. I see her in the places I can. And then I got the greatest gift of all.”

“And we won’t waste it. We’re getting our happy ending.” “Darling”—I could hear the smile in his voice— “I think we already have.”
“She’s got a whole book and self-esteem?” Riley said with a laugh. “She’s unstoppable now.”
