- What are you drawing?
-
- Well, there were a bunch of kids with clown face paint here yesterday, but now they're gone.
- Maybe I won't answer, maybe I will.
- Maybe I'll call you.
- Can you get me some flower seeds?
-
- While sitting next to Ivy, Melinda asks, "“I feel bad for them,” I say. “What are you drawing?” Ivy moves so I can sit next to her and hands me the sketchbook. She’s drawing the kids’ faces. Half of each face is plain and sad, the other half is plastered with thick clown makeup that is fake-happy. She hasn’t painted any tigers or leopards" (Anderson 145).
- Why do you say Andy Evans is big trouble?
- He has a reputation to only want one thing.
- Melinda you have to help me with the prom!
- While talking to David Petrakis in the hallway, Melinda thinks, "Is he asking me out? I don’t think so. But he kind of is. I guess I’ll answer if he calls. But if he touches me I’ll explode, so a date is out of the question. No touching" (Anderson 159).
- Who says I have to?
- After raking the leaves out of her yard, Melinda asks her dad, " I shake my head. I pick up the rake and start making the dead-leaf pile neater. A blister pops and stains the rake handle like a tear. Dad nods and walks to the Jeep, keys jangling in his fingers. A mockingbird lands on a low oak branch and scolds me. I rake the leaves out of my throat. Me: “Can you buy some seeds? Flower seeds?” " (Anderson 169)
- I never raped you! You're just jealous.
- While helping Melinda scrub paint off her shirt, Ivy says, "She rinses the soap from the shirt. “He has such a reputation. He’s only after one thing, and if you believe the rumors, he’ll get it, no matter what.” She wrings the water out of the shirt. The sound of dripping water echoes off the tiles" (Anderson 175).
- While Heather talks on about redecorating Melinda's room and having her help with the prom, Melinda thinks, "I bite my lip. Does she want to know the truth, that she’s self-centered and cold? That I hope all the seniors yell at her? That I hate sea-foam green, and besides, it’s none of her business if my windows are dirty? I feel tiny button noses against my back. Bunnies say to be kind. Lie" (Anderson 179)
- While trapping Melinda in a closet, Andy says, "Andy Beast: “You have a big mouth, you know it? Rachel blew me off at the prom, giving me some bullshit story about how I raped you. You know that’s a lie. I never raped anybody. I don’t have to. You wanted it just as bad as I did. But your feelings got hurt, so you started spreading lies, and now every girl in school is talking about me like I’m some kind of pervert. You’ve been spreading that bullshit story for weeks. What’s wrong, ugly, you jealous? Can’t get a date?”" (Anderson 193)
