Replaying the Game Quotes

“I hear a loud thwack, and I look up at her, only to put it together that she just hit me with a ruler. Where did she get that? Did she bring that just to hit me with it?”
― Emily Tudor, Replaying the Game

“Hades is probably around 5’4”, and she dresses like an art museum threw up on her. Black skirt, black boots, and a sweater that's dark blue. Is she wearing tights? Who the hell is this girl, and does she know that sweatpants exist?”
― Emily Tudor, Replaying the Game

“I know she hates that nickname. That's why I will be using it for the rest of the semester. It is just too easy to piss her off. It's quite a fun game, honestly. Every time she rolls her eyes at me, I think, this time will be when they get stuck and stay in that position forever.”

“It’s easier to tell myself that I’m afraid of it happening again rather than tell myself that I feel wholly unloveable. Ever since then, nobody has really shown interest in me anyway. It is also difficult for me to believe that anyone would ever show interest in me. I come off as cold and being a bitch. I’m not a warm person to new people. It takes me a while to get to know someone, and even then, it has always been friendship since I got to college. Paige, Ella, and Amelia are the only exception to that rule. With them, it felt so easy just molding into our friendship, as if it had always been that way, but with other people, I don't believe they would actually want to spend time with me without some other nefarious purpose.”

“He wants me to tutor him? It's been two weeks of actual semester work; there is absolutely no way he is already failing something. Honestly, it's laughable if he is. I can't help but feel a tiny twinge of guilt and pity wrapped into one. I don't feel that bad, though.”

“We all walk in silence for a minute, just listening to the breeze and bustle of the campus around us. It's a friendship like this that I never thought I would find, people with whom you can share the silence and not have to fill it with meaningless conversation. Sometimes their mere presence is just enough, my three nonbiological big sisters.”
― Emily Tudor, Replaying the Game

“That's how attached we all are. From four corners of the United States, we still maintained our friendship. I was worried that I wasn't going to make any friends coming to college here, but the fact that I found these three people, I know we will be in it for the long haul.”
