“Marry me, Kiara,鈥� he blurts out in front of everyone.
鈥淲hy?鈥� she asks, challenging him.
鈥淏ecause I love you,鈥� he says, walking up to her and bending down on one knee while he takes her hand in his, 鈥渁nd I want to go to sleep with you every night and wake up seein鈥� your face every mornin鈥�, I want you to be the mother of my children, I want to fix cars with you and eat your crappy tofu tacos that you think are Mexican. I want to climb mountains with you and be challenged by you, I want to argue with you just so we can have crazy hot makeup sex. Marry me, because without you I鈥檇 be six feet under 鈥� and because I love your family like they鈥檙e my own 鈥� and because you鈥檙e my best friend and I want to grow old with you.鈥� He starts tearing up, and it鈥檚 shocking because I鈥檝e never seen him cry. 鈥淢arry me, Kiara Westford, because when I got shot the only thing I was thinkin鈥� about was comin鈥� back here and makin鈥� you my wife. Say yes, chica.”

“Tonight was... well, it was perfect for me too. You've turned my world upside down. I've fallen in love with you, chica, and it scares the fuckin' shit outta me. I've been shakin' all night, because I knew it.I've tried to deny it, to make you think I wanted you as a fake girlfriend, but that was a lie.”

“And just so you know for the future, I like my double-chocolate chip cookies warm and soft in the middle...and without magnets glued to them."

“Did I ever tell you that Alex loves you so much he got your name tattooed all over his body? Hell, he even got your name branded into the back of his neck."
"They say 'LB,' Carlos. The initials for Latino Blood."
"No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. He wants everyone to think that, but in reality it means Lover of Brittany. LB, get it?”

“What happens when I break one of your fuckin鈥� rules?”
― Simone Elkeles, Rules of Attraction

“He laughs. "Put some clothes on so you don't scare poor Kiara with your morning hard-on."
I look down at my shorts. Sure enough, I've got la tengo dura in front of Kiara and Tuck. Shit. I reach out for the first thing I can grab and put it in front of me to shield myself from view. It happens to be one of Kiara's stuffed animals, but I don't have much choice right now.
"That's Kiara's Mojo," Tuck says, laughing. "Get it? Mojo?”
― Simone Elkeles, Rules of Attraction

“Tuck holds out his hand. "By the way, I don't think we've been formally introduced. I'm Tuck. You know, rhymes with luck."
"And fuck," Carlos adds.
"Yep, that, too," Tuck says unfazed.”

鈥淵ou鈥檙e loco, Carlos. Insane. Totally crazy鈥� Most guys think they鈥檙e imperfect for still being virgins past the age of seventeen.”

“The official recruiting process for their posse began. Because Carlos, Narc, and Trevor each had high SQs, Heeb and Evan reasoned that adding the three to their group would raise the average SQ of each group member (much the way that colleges recruit individuals with higher test scores to increase the average test scores of their matriculated students).”

“鈥� Las cosas no valen por lo que cuestan en dinero.
鈥� 驴Entonces?
鈥� Primero, por su valor de estima y segundo por su valor de servicio.

鈥� 驴C贸mo?
鈥擳u abuelita conservaba unos p茅talos secos dentro de su Biblia.
No val铆an nada, pero eran su mayor tesoro. Cuando los perdi贸, llor贸
mucho. Hay cosas que adquieren gran valor porque representan tu
pasado, tus sentimientos o porque has puesto en ellas algo de ti:
Intenciones nobles, creatividad, desvelos. Una obra art铆stica original
puede no valer nada para otros, pero para el autor es invaluable; a
veces prefiere regalarla que venderla, puesto que no puede ponerle
precio a algo as铆.”
― Carlos Cuauht茅moc S谩nchez, Los ojos de mi princesa

“The drive was difficult, because at this point it seemed that everyone in town but the two of us had hopped onto the buzzing shadow entity train, and were loping around town as malevolent holes in our reality, emanating an energy that made the hairs on your arm stand and your bowels vibrate. Or maybe that was just the chemistry with Carlos I was feeling.”
― Joseph Fink, The Great Glowing Coils of the Universe

“As a last resort, with the orange nearing my face and my back pressing hard against the sharp edge of my broadcast table, I grabbed my phone to tell Carlos that if I didn't make it home tonight, it wasn't because I didn't love him, or didn't want to watch a documentary on special scientific graphs, or was too obsessed with my job to relax and enjoy a good meal and some television. It was only because I was zapped out of existence by a lunatic Non-John Peters. And that, in fact, I do love Carlos, and I would want nothing more than to watch a documentary on scientific graphs over some homemade linguini, or go out to eat again, or whatever.

But then, as I grabbed my phone, I thought: That's way too long to write for a text. So I just hit John Peters upside the head with it...”

“A caminho daquele que bem poderia ser o 煤ltimo dia da sua curta exist锚ncia disse a si mesmo que, gra莽as a Al铆cia, aprendera pelo menos duas coisas 煤teis que lhe serviriam para sempre, se vivesse para o contar. A primeira era a mentir. A segunda, e esta ainda a sentia em carne viva, era que os juramentos s茫o um pouco como os cora莽玫es: quebrando o primeiro, os outros n茫o custam nada.”
