"NNNOOO!!!" (88.16)
What Melinda says when Andy tries to rape her the second time. We can see how much she has grown because she refuses to be a silent victim anymore.

Quote 8
I close my eyes, this is what I've been dreading. As we leave the last stop, I am the only person sitting alone. (1.3)
This sets the tone for Melinda's freshman year. She sits alone a lot. If the end of the novel is any indication, she'll be much less isolated next year.

Quote 9
I am outcast. (1.8)
Kids at Merryweather sure know how to hold grudges. Of course, not <em>all</em> the kids know that Melinda called the cops and got drunken partiers in trouble. Some of them have bigger things on their minds. But, Melinda sees it as everybody.
