Sara Zarr Quote

Watching Cameron come toward us I could see why Katy used the words hot and gorgeous to describe him-he definitely had nice hair and a long, lean body with broad shoulders, and the eyes. I wondered what Jordana would think now if she saw him. He set his tray on the end of the table, not particularly near any of us.Everyone, I said, this is Cameron Quick.Ethan stood to reach over the table and shake his hand. Hey. I'm Ethan.We were...we both went to the same elementary school, I said, even though they'd heard that basic explanation already, and then he moved, and...now he's moved back, so he's here. Here he is.Steph looked at me like she knew I needed help, and said, I'm Steph, this is Katy. Katy smiled and waved; Steph pointed down the table, Gil, Freshman Dave, Junior Dave, and obviously Jenna.Cameron finally spoke, mostly to his lunch tray, Hi. Nice to meet you all. I watched him to see if he sneaked any looks at Steph, like most guys did when they first met her, dazzled and intimidated by her starlet body and model face. He barely seemed to notice.Ethan took a bite of his burrito. So you and Jenna were in the same class when you were kids?Cameron glanced at me. Basically.What was Jenna like back then? Gil asked. Got pictures?Cameron smiled. Don't need pictures. I got her up here, he said, tapping his forehead. I groaned, making a joke of it, while inside I worried over what he would say. He might tell them I was fat, or about my lisp or my thrift-store clothes or how much I'd changed. Two braids. Sweet eyes. Good heart. Adorable. Just like she is now.Gil looked at Ethan.Katy studied her apple, eyebrows raised.Steph said, Jenna has all that and more, except maybe the braids. Which is why everyone loves her. I dare you to find one person in this school who does not like Jenna Vaughn. Based on the color of Katy's neck, I think there might have been person who didn't like me, at least for the moment.
