Quote #7
Except when math period ends Mrs. Price says loud and in front of everybody "Now, Rachel, that's enough," because she sees I've shoved the red sweater to the tippy-tip corner of my desk and it's hanging all over the edge like a waterfall, but I don't care. (14)
It's striking how different Rachel is in her mind than the passive Rachel displayed in her words. Rachel's thoughts and actions are defiant; she loses herself in her inability to express that defiance.

"Rachel," Mrs. Price says. She says it like she's getting mad. "You put that sweater on right now and no more nonsense." "But it's not—" "Now!" Mrs. Price says. (15-17)

Quote #9
My face all hot and spit coming out of my mouth because I can't stop the little animal noises from coming out of me, until there aren't any more tears left in my eyes […]. (19)
