And there s no happy ending coming here, no way a story that started on a night that s burned into my heart will end the way I wish it could.

Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for being you.”

“You don’t have any friends, your sister dumped you, you’re a freak eater..and you’ve got some weird thing about Simon Snow. I object to every single thing you just said. Reagan chewed. And frowned. She was wearing dark red lipstick. I have lots of friends, Cath said. I never see them. I just got here. Most of my friends went to other schools. Or they’re online. Internet friends don’t count.
