Shane: “I did”

Tina: ” ‘She stood back and observed the bruises, to her, they did look self-inflicted.’

“Why!”

Shane: “Becauseit’s my fault.”

Tina: “What! Shane you’re not making any since to me” ‘She touched her face again, feeling the heat seep into her palm.’

Tina: “I’ll never get you.” ‘Tina’s head bowed and rose quickly, her eyes instantly swelling over with tears.’

Tina: “God I hate you so much.” ‘She pushed her out of her way and went on her way to school, only to have to stop and turn back for her books.’

‘Shane gave them to her with out looking directly at her.’

‘Bette pulled along side of them in her car, she looked at both of them. “Wellsince you two don’t look like your getting along, I can only drive one of you, or you can just walk.”

‘Carmen’

‘All day long I thought about her, how she feels, what she’s doing, and importantly, where could she be.’

‘It was obvious to me that Sunny new all these things, maybe even Alice, if she’s done this before maybe she knows already and has nothing to worry about.’

‘I still get the feeling that now that Alice admits that Shane was a bit cuddly with her, that she’ll probably want to explore a feeling that she has for Shane.’
