High school sucked. It was a universal truth, and whoever said these were supposed to be the best years of your life was probably drunk or delusional.
Kami Garcia
Image
Mortals. Everything is so black and white to you.
Kami Garcia
Image
I really was alone, and the only thing worse than being alone was having everyone else see how lonely you were
Kami Garcia

Coming into your powers can be a very confusing time. Perhaps there is a book on the subject. If you like, we can go see Marian. Yeah, right. Choices and Changes. A Modern Girl's Guide to Casting. My Mom Wants to Kill Me: A Self-Help Book For Teens.
