Quotes by Lisa McMann

Lisa McMann

…she’s leaving now. … Janis attacks the back door of the school gym and finds herself in a heavy cloud of smoke. She realizes she’s found the Goths’ hangout. Who knew? “Oof,” someone says. She keeps walking, muttering, “sorry” to whomever it was she hit with the flying door. *** Cabel: … That was the Goth stage where I decided I’d never get the girl of my dreams because of my scars. Not to mention the hairstyle. (pause) But then she slammed a door handle into my gut. And, when a girl does that to a boy, it means she likes him.

They breathe, heavy. Hard. Their fingers strain at cotton. And then they slow down. Stop. Hold. Rest. Before one of them, or both, begins to sob. Before they break another piece that needs to be fixed.

Are you okay?” she whispers, giggling. Me? Oh sure. You might have to carry me out of here, though.” What happened?” I created a distraction.” I gathered that.” Step stool, encyclopedias, floor.” I see. Well, I can’t thank you enough.” Sure you can. Help me flunk enough tests, so I drop out of the ‘torian range.” Can’t you just tell Abernethy that you have a reputation as a dumbshit to keep up, and you don’t want the attention?” Flunking is more fun.

Cabel smiles and hangs up. “Guess what.” What,” Janie says. We can go out on our first date.” Woo hoo!” And guess what else- You’re buying.” Me? Why?” Because you lost the bet.” Janie thinks for a moment. Punches Cabel in the arm. “You did not fail five quizzes or tests!” I did. I have proof.
