How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Line)
Quote #1
Me and Samantha went back to first grade together. One day, I was just this little kid alone in the first grade, coming into class a month after everyone. For a whole month, I didn't have a single friend. And then, the next week, there was Samantha walking over to me, "Do you want to play?" (2.8)
Samantha's definitely a cool girl. She took a chance on Frannie when they were just first graders, and they've been super tight ever since. Even the appearance of annoying third-wheel Maribel Tanks can't sully what they have.
Quote #2
Sit down, he said. I'm almost done. He tapped me on the head and ran back over to his game.
The tap on the head meant he wasn't mad at me for coming. I climbed onto the bleachers and sat down in front of some girls who were watching the game. (10.14-15)
Sean and Frannie may be siblings, but they are also legitimate friends. They spend lots of time hanging out with each other and enjoy each other's company. That's pretty much the ideal sibling relationship.
Quote #3
Isn't that kid in your class? Sean asked.
I nodded.
How come you didn't go hang out with him then?
I watched Trevor move down the hall with his friends. I don't like him. (10.103-106)
Maybe Frannie's gone to school with Trevor since just about forever, but that doesn't mean she wants to spend any more time with him than necessary. In her estimation, he's just a mean kid—no doubt about it.
