“She’s really used to getting her way, so when she doesn’t, she has no clue how to deal with it.” “Her parents clearly haven’t done the world any favors there.”
some relationships aren’t meant to last.
How is it on me to cede to this lunatic’s demands instead of on him to stop being a lunatic in the first place?
I don’t like disappointing people, even if they suck.
The customer is always right, you know?” “No, they’re not,” I state. “Sometimes, the customer is batshit crazy.”
That means I thought about her more than she thought about me today, and that’s unacceptable.
I don’t know who I am anymore. I don’t have time to figure it out, either.
“Pain makes people interesting. Being unaffected isn’t half as great as people seem to think it is.”
When you lie, it’s like… you’re telling the truth.” “Lying is easy, you just have to do it with confidence.”
it’s what you do when bad shit happens, you know? Life can’t always be fun and games, sometimes it’s hard and people have to make sacrifices.”

“She didn’t try to take me down, she just tried to take my kill. It’s almost sportsmanlike.”
Malicious and crazy, but at the same time, that’s pretty impressive dedication.
I’m just prey to them. He doesn’t love me. They’re both monsters.
“You’re a fucking psycho,” I scream back. “An unhinged fucking psycho who can’t even keep her boyfriend satisfied when she lets him fuck around.”
I would like to shove him off a cliff, so if he thinks I care at all what he thinks of my behavior, he’s very confused.
I’m shocked Anae manages to enter the room quietly, but she isn’t wearing her heels. She must have realized sneakers were more practical for committing felonies.
My god, he’s really going to kill me with this psycho. I could not have been more wrong about him. And now, I’m going to pay the ultimate price.
He’d love it if I cried for him, so I don’t. It’s my final act of rebellion.

If she goes down, he goes down with her. How poetic.
“Yeah, I know.” I roll my eyes. “I’m just trying to avoid… stupid fighting.” Hannah nods with mock seriousness. “I, too, prefer only smart fighting.”
