Quote #1
Cath could already feel the anxiety starting to tear her stomach into nervous little pieces. "It's not just that… I don't like new places. New situations. There'll be all those people, and I won't know where to sit—I don't want to go." (4.84)

Quote #2
"You're a sad little hermit, and it creeps me out. So get dressed. We're going bowling." (6.116)
This is the first instance of Reagan's blunt, tough love toward Cath, and it's the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Quote #3
Emergency Kanye Party. Cath climbed onto her bed to announce it, but she stepped right down. It felt silly. And pathetic. (Is there anything more pathetic than a one-person dance party?) (11.40)
Actually, one-person dance parties can be pretty awesome. It's easier to perfect your twerk when there's no one around to judge.
