Some statements to think about:

"...That´s the thing about being an unwanted baby, which is what I was, let´s face it. You´ve always got to remind yourself it was their idea, not yours. ..."

"..But it seemed to me that when I first arrived at the party, she was looking at me as though I might be a possible boyfriend, which was why she was all sharp and spiky. So what I didn´t know was, had she put away the spikes for a reason? Because some girls are like that. Sometimes you know you´ve got a chance with a girl because she wants to fight with you. If the world wasn´t so messed up, it wouldn´t be like that. If the world was normal, a girl being nice to you would be a good sign, but in the real world, it isn´t. ..."
