How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
For as long as I can remember, I've looked up to Byron more than anyone in the world… Everything I've done in my life—from where I chose to go to high school to how I feel about myself—has been because of my big brother. (15.61)
What Virginia doesn't get is that Byron may have been fun sometimes, but he withheld his affection, too, just like her parents. There was always someone else he'd rather hang with, given the choice.
Quote #5
But now that Byron has done something this horrible to a girl, I don't know what to make of anything. I mean, if you take away the sun's light, the planets won't know where to go or what to do. (15.62)
That's when a planet has to step up and be its own sun. (Okay, so the astronomy's a little whack, but go with us here.)
Quote #6
One day he was Big Man on Campus and now his life has come to a screeching halt. Usually when my brother is home, the phone rings off the hook—friends inviting him to nightclubs, girls asking him to movies, guys organizing an Ultimate Frisbee game. But now, hardly anyone calls for Byron. (19.15)
At least the other dudebros aren't high-fiving him, we'll give Hamster Boy that much.
