Listen, I didn’t ask for a face and body girls find attractive. But thanks to the mixture of my parents’ DNA, I’ve got them, and I’m not ashamed to use ’em.

I’m poor, not homeless.

Makin’ mistakes ain’t a crime, you know. What’s the use of having a reputation if you can’t ruin it every now and then?

That’s not really a compliment.

Sí. And when I get out of here, I’m gonna fix the door to your car.

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

It’ll be impossible to protect Brittany for the rest of her life from all the other guys who want to be near her, to see her as I’ve seen her. Touch her as I’ve touch...

She ignores me, so I cup my hands over my mouth and do something I haven’t done in years— barnyard sounds.

I wonder if it’s medically possible to be addicted to another human being.

…personal torture instructor…I mean physical therapist.

I want to be wherever you are.

The Professor doesn’t have a problem being called Dick? If my name was Richard, I’d go by Richard or Rich . . . not Dick. Hell, I’d even settle for being called Chard.

Sometimes you have to steer away from the crowd in order to be a better person. It’s not always easy, that’s for sure. But it’s right. And sometimes doing the right thing feels good, even...

You’re stressing too much about what might be. Do something to take your mind off thinking about what might never happen.

I have to protect you,” he says softly.

You are the one girl that made me risk eveything for a future worth having.

you think you’ve never been wrong before?”-alex”sure i have why just last week I bought bobbi brown sandwash petal lip gloss when the pink blossom color would have looked so much better with my complexion....

I’m staring into chocolate eyes. although my brain is cloudedand I’m dizzy, I know enough to register that chocolate is theopposite of blue. I don’t want blue. Blue confuses me too much.Chocolate is straight-forward, easier...

Why?”Because I know it’ll annoy the shit out of you.

dear kiara, The women in the shop told me that yellow rose represents friendship and red rose shows love. And the rosery is the only thing i own that i care for, its yours i’m...

Tofu tacos are not Mexican. I think putting tofu on anything and calling it Mexican is an insult to my people.

Sometimes I wish there were do over years or fast forward days

cause if you were my girlfriend and a stud like me was livin’ in your house, I’d kiss you in front of the guy every chance I got as a reminder.

being afraid to take chances is scarier than actually doing things that challenge you.

Oh, Carlos. You know I can’t resist a challenge.

I suspect I am a hooligan.

We kiss all the time.” I clear my throat, then add, “We just…do it in private.” “A smug expression crosses his face. “I don’t buy it for a second, ’cause if you were my girlfriend...

If my name was Richard, I’d go by Richard or Rich…not Dick. Hell I’d even settle for being called Chard.

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,’...

You can’t keep her.”I know that. But I’m not ready to give her up just yet.

My brain tells me it will be better to just let him go.My heart… not so much.

Tell me what we had was real, I whisper.

The percentage of couples who stay together after high school is, like, less than five percent, you guys.

Yeah.” When his daughter kisses me, my ego flies out the window.

Expectations make people miserable, so whatever yours are, lower them. You’ll definitely be happier.

This connection we have isn’t going away, it’s only getting stronger. Because the more I spend time with her, the closer I want to be.

Nothin’.

I want to try making things right because picking up the pieces is way better than leaving them the way they are.

But wishes are only granted in fairy tales.

What would it take for you to go out with me?

I hate you, too.

Nobody really knows herExcept the chosen fewHer secrets are kept hiddenBehind that sun-kissed hue.If I reach out to touch herShe’ll just run awayMy Forever and AlwaysWill have to wait another day.

Unless you want me to puke all over you.

Your sister and I were just makin’ out.

I want to make sure Kiara’s got a boyfriend who has more to offer than a hot bod and a face that could make angels weep.

Because you make me believe in the impossible

Mujer, you own my soul.

There’s always time for arguin’ when you’re a Fuentes.

One of the things that makes me who I am is the loyalty I have to people I hold close to my heart.

the scary part is that people don’t realize how much they’ve changed .
