Stephanie Perkins Quote

Did I ever tell you I went to school in America?What? No.It's true,for a year. Eighth grade. It was terrible.Eighth grade is terrible for everyone, I say.Well,it was worse for me. My parents had just seperated,and my mum moved back to California.I hadn't been since I was an infant,but I went with her,and I was put in this horrid public school-Oh,no. school.He nudges me with his shoulder. The other kids were ruthless. They made fun of everything about me-my height,my accent, the way I dressed.I vowed I'd never go back.But American girls love English accents. I blurt this without thinking, and then pray he doesn't notice my blush.St. Clair picks up a pebble and tosses it into the river. Not in middle school, they don't.Especially when it's attached to a bloke who comes up to their kneecaps.I laugh.So when the year was over,my parents found a new school for me. I wanted to go back to London,where my mates were, but my father insisted on Paris so he could keep an eye on me. And that's how I would up at the School of America.
