E. Lockhart
When you hate someone you used to love, and you think he's done something awful - he probably has.
E. Lockhart
And this is my life, getting dumped with no warning. Or liking people who don't like me back, or who don't like me enough, or not as much as they like someone else.
E. Lockhart
