Inside the envelope with the letter was a little Princess Leia action figure USB flash drive. For me to store my novel on, since he was right - I never back up my computer's hard drive.

Adam gave me a scandalized look. Fraternizing with the enemy! he cried. For shame, wench!
Meg Cabot
You just said you were sorry. ... I was only apologizing, he said stiffly, for startling you. The applause was to compliment you on the improvement in your life-saving techniques since the last time you-
Meg Cabot
Whoa. If high school was suppose to be the best years of my life - at least so far - I was truly destined to have a sucky adulthood.
Meg Cabot
Some people can seem perfect... everything about them can, on paper, be just right. Until you get to know them. Really know them. Then you find out, in the end, while they might be perfect to every one else, they just aren't right for you.
