He sleeps with everything that moves, and his brain is located in his pants – which means it’s microscopic.
The word was ours now, and as long as we held on to it, we could control the hurt it inflicted.
You know, my father says those are the four most frightening words a woman can say. He claims that nothing good ever begins with “We need to talk.” You’re worrying me a little here, Duffy.
Beauty really was skin-deep. Wesley Rush may have had the body of a Greek god, but his soul was as black and empty as the inside of my closet. What a bastard!
I hated Valentine’s Day even before I was aware of my Duff status. Honestly, I didn’t even understand why it was a holiday. Really, it was just an excuse for girls to whine about being lonely and for guys to worm their way into getting laid. I found it materialistic, indulgent, and, with all of the chocolate, completely unhealthy.

Very classy. I couldn’t help wondering, again, why on earth he was interested in me.
The truth was, I hated pretty much anything requiring school spirit, because, obviously, I had none. I hated Hamilton High. I hated the horribly bright school colours, the incredibly generic mascot, and at least ninety percent of the student body. That’s why I couldn’t wait to leave for college.
Amy and I needed each other. Neither of us really had other close friends. We were the type who were friendly with everyone...
