“Because I want to be your friend, and I’m not taking no for an answer.” I had a feeling he wasn’t going to listen to me no matter how much I argued, and there were only 10 more minutes before my next class. “What nonsense were you talking about earlier?” I asked. He frowned. “It’s a quote from the book.” He pointed at my book. “How many times have you read this that you memorized quotes like that?” I asked in pure shock. I didn’t ever remember him reading back in high school and he still didn’t strike me as the illiterate type.

She cleared her throat, over-enunciating as though performing Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre. “Love isn’t patient, love isn’t kind… it’s fire, and it burns everything it touches.” She looked at me expectantly, starry-eyed. I wanted to slide under the table and melt into the floor. Was this real life? Was I being forced to quote my own tortured prose like a trained parrot? “Um.” My voice cracked. “Yes, that… that does sound like something I wrote.” “It is!” another boy shouted. “Page two seventy-three, right after the betrayal scene! I highlighted it!”

‘I’m not sure I want answers. I huffed. ‘Too bad.’ Then I opened the book. As I perused the book, Emrae went quiet in my head, and something went still inside me. Several lines, quotes from many Chapters jumped out at me from the old yellow pages, giving me the answers I knew I wouldn’t like.

I almost breathed a sigh of relief when the words echoed in my ears. Those words were exactly the same in the book I'd found in his room. They were a few sentences away from the phrase "a man will do anything for the woman he loves." The difference was the name of the woman in the book wasn't Arie. I paused suddenly, realizing something I didn't before; he'd quoted the same book! Chills traced their way to my skin. Every inch of me covered in goosebumps. I suddenly felt a bitter taste in my mouth, and the room became too quiet.

She asked motioning to the line I had offered as she turned to face me. "That love is beautiful, no matter who or what you love," I replied softly looking at the dirt trail before me, since the people in this town travelled by carriages, there weren't any roads to- "There are a lot of those in the book, just one line across the page with no context," "That's because I had that book made, I took my favourite quotes and placed them together," I confessed "So what's the story behind your quote?" She asked and I smiled nervously as I glanced over to her clearing my throat before saying.

The idea itself reminded me of a famous quote we say when looking at a book. ‘Never judge a book by its cover’ The cover could look like trash, making you believe that it had the worst content. However, once you give it a chance, you might find that it was the best book you’ve ever read, and vice versa. I looked at my wife whose eyes met mine and I gave her a quick nod, it was faint, and quick. But I knew that she saw it. “See you in the final level, everyone!”

He shakes his head slightly. "Well, I second the break-up idea." I walk over to scoop up my jeans where Kadeem tossed them. "I can handle pain just fine, too," I say airily. I pause, trying to look smart and contemplative before I recite something that popped up on my social media feed that morning: "'What is to give light must endure burning.'” He blinks at me. “That's Viktor Frankl," I add haughtily. He scrutinizes me, then casts me a wry look, before sitting down to put on his shirt. He mumble-sings something as he does.

She quickly pulled out the book from the shelf. Under its title was a written quotation that said, "A book for witches." Even though she knew herself that she didn't have witch blood, she still decided to give it a try. Nowo quickly went down so that she could start reading it.

The voice kept repeating inside me, it must be the voice of the moon goddess. 'When you're out on a mission, you need to focus!' Since I was battling with emotions, I decided to open the book I held just to set my eyes on it and get inspired. Sometimes you can be communicated with through things like a quote, picture or movie scene. This is a warning I have to take lest I might end my journey as Emily did, halfway. I looked firmly into his eyes, "Sorry Calvin, this' a girls' meeting!" It was my way of asking him to leave without being rude.
