and standing before me a bloodied bottle of Absolut in her hand, is Mrs. Allington, her pink jogging suit drenched, her chest heaving, her eyes filled with contempt as she stared down at Rachel's prone body. Mrs. Allington shakes her head. I'm a size twelve, she says.

Meg Cabot
You know in sixth grade, when they made all of us girls go into this other room and watch a video about getting our periods and stuff? I bet while we were gone, the boys were watching a video about how to look at each other in that infuriating way.
Meg Cabot
You didn't, John said, stepping from the shadows as he clapped for me, even hit your head this time.
Meg Cabot
But I intend to enjoy the weeks I have left with you to the fullest. Because I know from my study of the philosophy of time, whatever is going to happen in the future is already unavoidable.
Meg Cabot
Hey, Dopey said when I was finished reading. How come they never mentioned me? I'm the one who found the skeleton. Oh, yeah, Sleepy said in disgust. Your role was really crucial. After all, if it wasn't for you, the guy's skull might still have been intact.
Meg Cabot
If you're writing a screenplay, you need to be prepared to let go: there's a good chance the words you write aren't going to be the ones that end up on screen.
Meg Cabot
I stood on Susan Boone's front porch, feeling lame. But then, since I've pretty much felt lame my entire life, this was no big surprise. On the other hand, usually I felt lame for no particular reason. This time I really had a reason to feel lame.
Meg Cabot
