Meg Cabot Quote

Gina hoisted herself up onto her elbows and gaped at Spike. So that's the famous Spike I've been hearing so much about from your brothers? Damn, he is ugly.Jesse, who'd stayed where he was, looked defensive. Spike was his baby, and you just don't go around calling Jesse's baby ugly.He's not so bad, I said, hoping Gina would get the message and shut up.Are you on crack? Gina wanted to know. Simon, the thing's only got one ear.Suddenly, the large, gilt-framed mirror above the dressing table started to shake. It had a tendency to do this whenever Jesse got annoyed - really annoyed.Gina, not knowing this, stared at the mirror with growing excitement. Hey! she cried. All right! Another one!She meant an earthquake, of course, but this, like the one before, was no earthquake. It was just Jesse letting off steam.Then the next thing I knew, a bottle of finger-nail polish Gina had left on the dressing table went flying and, defying all gravitational law, landed upside down in the suitcase she had placed on the floor at the end of the daybed, around seven or eight feet away.I probably don't need to add that the bottle of polish - it was emerald green - was uncapped. And that it ended up on top of the clothes Gina hadn't unpacked yet.Gina let out a terrified shriek, threw back the comforter, and dove to the floor, trying to salvage what she could. I, meanwhile, threw Jesse a very dirty look.But all he said was, Don't look at me like that, Susannah. You heard what she said about him. He sounded wounded. She called him ugly.
