“I just don’t know what to do, Rob.”
“You worry too much’” Robby said.
“I know.”
“I do love you though”
Very nice conversation between Austin and Robbie. It’s good to communicate things between people to solve problems and help each other out.

“It was exactly noon. Ten hours in to the end of the world. Nobody knew anything about it” I’m curious what this is foreshadowing. The book has been referencing a lot of insects but hasn’t elaborated much until now.

“Because, in an empty bedroom with creaky old wood floors, it is a natural human response to just stand there and shift your wait from foot to foot, and think about sex” this book is really interesting. Why does Shannon kiss robbie and him? Is Robby outwardly gay to everyone or only told Austin his feelings?

“History shows, after things like that, you either get up and have a cigarette, in your socks, with your bloody friend, or you don’t. Since it was time for Robby and me to die, we decided to have a smoke” It’s funny that they got beaten up and they’re boards and shoes taken and thrown on a roof for just skating and smoking. They after decide to have another smoke. Good shit
