Stop It! Quotes

“Bridget put on the film, The Duff, and the two girls lay on the bed to watch it. “I don’t get this film; I think the main girl is beautiful. So why are they trying to make out she isn’t?” Remmy asked. “I dunno,” Bridget shrugged. “I agree with you, though; she’s super pretty.”

“Sometimes, as parents, we want to wrap our kids up with cotton wool to keep them safe,” Janice said in a reassuring tone as she locked eyes with Bridget. “I know we can’t do that, but it doesn’t mean we don’t want to do it. A parent’s main objective in life is to keep their kids safe, so when we fail to do that, it makes us worry. Your mom knows that she can’t lock you away or stop you from going out, but she’s going to be protective because she loves you. I think you should tell her what happened.”

“Let’s rewind ten seconds to when my cute, sweet, amazing boyfriend was leaning in to kiss me for the first time ever. I was excited and a little nervous but I wanted him to kiss me so badly. I wanted my first ever kiss to be at that moment with him. In my mind, it was going to be perfect. The perfect kiss with the perfect boyfriend. One that I’d never forget. Now, let’s go forward ten seconds. He hadn’t kissed me yet. Instead, we were both sitting on the boardwalk wall, soaked through. I wanted to cry, but I stopped myself from doing it. Tears began to well in my eyes, and I quickly blinked them away. How could everything have gone from perfect to a disaster so quickly? We both screamed out when the water bomb exploded on us and then we were exchanging awkward looks. Worse still, I remained Remmy James, the girl who had never been kissed. What if I never had my first kiss? What if something always happened to mess it up? Or someone? I looked to see who had thrown the water bomb and spotted four girls wearing black baseball caps running up the boardwalk. I couldn’t see them clearly, but I knew exactly who they were. I mean, who else could they be? They had to be the vampires and their newest member…Sydney! My first near kiss was definitely something I’d never forget, but not for the right reasons. Vampires, I don’t like them at all. Maybe I should have stocked up on garlic or something. Then again, Charlie wouldn’t have wanted to kiss me if I smelled of garlic.”
