Caid Quotes

“Can you even cry, anyway? With your eyes and all." Josh asks, fingers tapping a rhythm on the cushion behind Caid's right shoulder.

Caid swats his arm away. Says, "How is someone paying you to teach children? Of course I can fucking cry; it's not my tear ducts that are broken."

"I teach history, not the anatomy of eyeballs, shithead."

"How old are you?" Caid scoffs, feeling frustrated and exposed. He hates talking about his blindness. Hates it almost more than actually being blind.”

“Josh, you saw him," Tally says, "What did he look like? Did he look nice?"

"Don't be a spoilsport," Tally says, and Caid hears her smack Josh on the arm.

"Shortish, blondish, thinish," Josh says.

"Thank you, Josh," Caid says, "Your way with words astounds me yet again."

"Well, whatever," Tally says. "What did you guys talk about? You said he's nice?"

"We talked about a lot of things. And yeah, he's—I mean, we traded numbers, so hopefully he'll call."

"I hope so, too," Tally says. "I'm glad you have somebody to hang out with now."

"Because I was such horrible company?" Josh says, voice thick and deep like he's got a mouthful of ice cream.

"I wouldn't say horrible," Caid says. "Unbearable, maybe. Like one of those YouTube videos that never loads." And with that, he shoots a shit-eating grin in Josh's direction, and shovels a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.”
