I want to collapse. I want to fall on the sidewalk right there and drag myself to the ivy.
Jay Asher
Image
Maybe it didn’t seem like a big deal to you Zach. But now, I hope you understand. My world was collapsing. I needed those notes. I needed any hope those notes might have offered. And you? You took that hope away. You decided I didn’t deserve to have it.

Everything...affects everything
Jay Asher
Image
Don't give up on me now. I'm sorry. I guess that's an odd thing to say. Because isn't that what I'm doing? Giving up?
Jay Asher
Image
Because I've heard so many stories that I don't know which one is the most popular. But I do know which is the least popular. The truth.
Jay Asher
Image
You can hear rumors. But you can't know them.
Jay Asher
Image
I hate not knowing what to believe anymore. I hate not knowing what's real.
Jay Asher
Image
I decided to find out how people at school might react if one of the students never came back.
Jay Asher
Image
God, I am freaking out. Maybe he doesn’t know. Maybe I just look guilty of something and he’s picking up on that.
Jay Asher

And everyone knows you can’t disprove a rumor.
