“I’m disappointed. Veronica usually likes smart girls. And smart girls don’t refuse lasagna.”

“Why are you apologizing when you didn’t do anything wrong? That’s something we teach girls to do—always apologize, never be a burden. You have a right to take up space.”

She is kind of a brat, I think, but in a cute way, like she knows what she is and doesn’t really care.
