Quote #10

Emma leaned toward Billy and stared at his drawing. She made a sour face and said, "Why did you draw an instrument? For your information, we're not having a musical concert."

Billy moved his drawing closer to his chest and tightened his grip on his marker. After months of sitting by her, Billy had learned that the best way to deal with Emma was to ignore her. But in his private thoughts, he said, "For your information, mind your own business." (4.4.20-21)

Back at the beginning of the book, Emma really got under Billy's skin. So now it's the end of the book and, well, she still annoys him like whoa. But the way Billy deals with his annoyance has gone from night to day. Earlier he made fun of her back, but now this guy just keeps his mouth shut and keeps his thoughts to himself.
