“Well, that’s what we do, isn’t it?” “Yes. That’s exactly what we do!”

“Let me see the agreement, Jake.” “I will let you see it tonight, after dinner.” “Fine.” She scrunched her lips, annoyed. “I have to add, this agreement was not written by me, but by our fathers. I am in no way prejudicing you. But if you want to save your grandfather’s legacy, this is what you need to consider.” “Jake Yu!” she yelled at the top of her lungs. He put his fingers to her mouth, silencing her immediately. “No matter how loud you shout, nobody is going to pay any attention.” He grinned wildly. Unbuckling his seat belt, he leaned towards her, while her seat belt still restricted her movements. The second their eyes locked, she found herself lost within his galaxy again.

We just decided to do everything and now we get to know that someone else is doing the same and that too on the same day.” Sanjay replied for me. “Look I only searched one thing in the teenage section and I gave it to both of you. Now you can decide within yourself who wants to go with it and who wants to drop it.” He said shrugging.

Less correctly than tomorrow. That has always been the whole standard.

"That's not how it goes! You want me to end up like Courtney?!" What's up with this generation?! Shouldn't things be direct? If you like someone so bad, shouldn't you just tell them? But nooo! It's always better if you play the 'Long Game'! Keep it quiet, and keep it confined. Instead of going straight, keep chasing your tail. Because, why bother if you can make your crush likes you through shady tricks! That's youth nowadays.. "Heeh.." I sigh in exasperation. "It's not like I'm expert in love-stuff, anyway.."

I nеvеr thоught thеrе wаѕ аn еxсерtіоn. “Thеrе wаѕ thаt аѕ wеll, Iz, guуѕ have a dіffеrеnt way of еxрrеѕѕіng thеmѕеlvеѕ. Truѕt me whеn I say wе dоn’t аlwауѕ gеt it right, ѕоmеtіmеѕ thе thіng wе еnvіѕіоn іn our hеаd dоеѕn’t асtuаllу mаtсh the оutсоmе.”

Not finished. Not even close.

Something dangerous flashes in his expression and goes almost immediately. “So what,” he says quietly. “You’re just going to start dating whoever asks?” “I might.” “Even if it’s messy.” “Especially, if it’s simple,” I correct. “Sam is simple.” Devon lets out a humorless laugh. “You don’t want simple.” “You don’t get to tell me what I want.” He steps back, rakes a hand through his hair, pacing once like he needs movement to bleed off whatever’s building under his skin.
