Meg Cabot Quote

I'll tell you what you can do, he said, stopping abruptly. Now he did reach out to grip both my shoulders. But still not to kiss me. Only so he could wheel me around to glare at me some more. You can leave me alone. Tears sprang once more into my eyes. That's what he wanted from me? For me to stay away from him? This had turned into a greater disaster than when I'd died. And I was still breathing, so that was say something. I'd like to, I said. All I could hear besides the deep, disapproving timbre of his voice was the drum of my heartbeat in my ears. Stupid girl. Stupid girl. Stupid girl, my heart seemed to be saying. Except every time I try, you show back up, and act such a... such a... Such a what? he demanded. He seemed to be practically daring me to say. Don't, the voice of my mother warned inside my head. Don't say it. Jerk.
