I know things don't go right for everyone, but I am sure someone will see her true self and love her for who she is-" "Just like you did." " " "Bright, do you know I have no idea how you are like this-" "Win you should-" "No! If I were you... If I were you, I would've gone all mad about me and maybe... I don't know!

She says taking my glasses off my face and stepping on them. Her friend shrugs, “She made you look like a fool.” She giggles, blowing her freshly painted pink nails.” Pink is an overrated color if you ask me.

“ I'm speechless. ” “ You know Mira, sometimes I find myself being jealous of the friendship between Joseph and yourself. It's too beautiful to be true. ” “ You think so? ” “ I don't just think so! I know so! ” “ Ah! But I think our friendship is just like any normal one out there. ” “ It's far from being just normal, girl. ” “ Didn't realize. ” “ Um.

Love is not blind, in fact love sees all. I love all of you—your faults and flaws cast a beautiful light—like the flaws of a precious jewel.

''Don't you think you should save that for a more genuine occasion?'' Dimitri asks.

Dante looked at me, realizing what was happening. The difference between Dante and Bright was that Dante was more mature. While Dante wanted to be my friend, Bright played revenge games. I decided to keep walking. I passed Bright with my head held high and didn’t stop, though I felt his presence burning like fire beside me. I didn’t look at him. I couldn’t.

We struggled through the language barrier for what felt like forever before they understood. “You’re saying your friend might be down below the cliff?”

I don’t know the extent of his home life and I never push to find out about it but I know it wasn’t good. He once told me one of his favorite things about me was that I never pried into his business, which is ironically what most people hate about me. I’ve been called a bad friend so many times because when someone is crying, upset, angry, irritated, they want you to ask about it but I never do. I guess I just feel like if you want me to know then you’ll tell me.

She’s the talker and I’m the listener, we work perfectly.
