I always go for confident girls!

It’s bewildering to me how you can just start chatting with a complete stranger on Facebook, and – next thing you know – it seems as if there’s some intense connection with the person –...

Because he says he can’t stand you and you act like you can’t stand him, and whenever a man and a woman behave like that toward each other, it usually means something’s going on.

You like him, Rose. Why don’t you just admit that, at least to me?

A hammer made of deadlines is the surest tool for crushing writer’s block.

Love gives you wings. Icarus and the Challenger both had wings, and so did my first love letter, after I folded it up and flung it at my crush.

Eternal Flame”s—the ones you sing into a hairbrush-microphone at the top of your lungs with your best friends on a Saturday night.

Nico studied his face – his sea-green eyes, his grin, his ruffled black hair. Somehow Percy Jackson seemed like a regular guy now, not a mythical figure. Not someone to idolize or crush on.

This put me very close to Jay and it was as uncomfortable as it was mystifying. It was uncomfortable because I still wasn’t sure I liked him all that much. It was mystifying because his...

I wasn’t used to guys making me blush, and I wasn’t sure why he even was making me blush.

Great. Men affectionately attacked me with sticks to show their admiration.

It’s like I’m thirteen again and he’s my crush. All I’m aware of in this entire roomful of people is him. Where he is, what he’s doing, who he’s talking to.

I like the way he danced. And then I like the way we danced together.

I stared you chew down your Swedish meatballs. I hope you could see how you chewed my heart then spit it out

Because whipping an atlas at Jackson’s head while he was flirt-touching that Frankie girl in geography would have been very satisfying. And beating him with the Eiffel Tower snowglobe while he kissed Cleo in French...

Then why have you been talking about her for the past half hour straight?” His friend glanced over at him, a cheeky grin on his face, and the rockstar glared exaggeratedly.”I have not.””You definitely have....

MANIFEST.” The idea being if you thought and dreamed about the way you wanted your life to be — if you just envisioned it long enough, it would come into being.But as hard as I...

I had a dream that I saw shooting stars with you. Two things that will come close to never happening: Seeing shooting stars, and being with you.

I couldn’t bear the thought of Alex looking at me like I was a freak. It was bad enough that the looked at me as Jack’s sister.

As a kid I had a crush on Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch.

He barely knew I existed. I knew some of the same people he knew, but I was a girl in the background, several degrees of seperation removed.
