Quote #4
It didn't matter where I sat. I couldn't hear anything Ms. Miller was saying over the pounding in my chest. And I couldn't see anything past the doll-like profile of the new girl. Amy's cousin. She looked absurdly girlish beneath the harsh layers of make-up, denim and leather. Aside from a tiny scar on her upper lip and a short jagged scar on her chin, she was flawless. (7.17)
So Dani is pretty gorgeous and as soon as she walks into class all the teenage boys are drooling over her. But Jake's probably the only one to notice Dani's one tiny imperfection—the scar on her face. Hmm… this new girl has some secrets.
Quote #5
Now for the juicy stuff. This was the part of the day where I truly wish I knew how to channel people. Dani, I would have channeled your smooth, cool confidence. And maybe those friggin' legs of yours. Really, cuz, how could we have the same genes? You've got long, sleek thighs while mine look like lumpy potatoes.
I stared at the way she'd written my name. She always made the D extra fancy. I shut my eyes for a minute to see her face. She'd envied my legs, and I'd always envied her incredible hazel eyes and button nose. (8.31-32)
Amy thinks Dani managed to get all the super hot genes in the family, but Dani doesn't see things this way. She loved Amy's face and her beautiful eyes. Sometimes it hard to appreciate what's cute about ourselves, isn't it?
Quote #6
Katrina stood up and peeled off her sweatshirt like she was an artist lifting the curtain on her masterpiece. Alex and the other clay heads sitting with him howled like wolves from their perches. Apparently the freshman boys had never witnessed this unveiling. They froze at the sight of it. (13.16)
We'll give Katrina credit: She has the goods and she knows how to use them. Katrina is the hottest girl in school, hands down, and it's pretty clear that she generally uses her beauty to get what she wants.
