Quote #7
Frankie forced a laugh. "You think someone carried that huge thing into the library with nobody noticing?" (41.23)
Like we said, Frankie's good at playing innocent even when she's almost caught red-handed doing something very, very dangerous. That's a sign of both courage and cleverness. Two things every budding feminist needs.
Quote #8
Frankie took a deep breath and said it. "I burned myself in the steam tunnels." (43.81)
Take a deep breath and take it easy. Frankie's about to do the brave thing and tell Matthew about everything—about how she's been following him and engineering all those pranks. But of course she's not so brave as to just come right out and say it. First she's gotta ease into it by revealing her presence in the steam tunnels.
Quote #9
Or rather, she chose to stay, even though she also found it terrifying. (45.8)
Even though she's likely to have a pretty terrible reputation when she returns to school, Frankie chooses to stay and make things happen for herself. She's not going to just run away with her tail between her legs. And isn't that what they say true courage is—being afraid of something and doing it anyway?
