tripping on words
“Holly, I have a confession to make. When we were at the picnic, and I was lying down after we ate, and you were talking to me? Well, I fell asleep. Just for a few minutes. But I guess I missed the part where you said you wanted to break up. And I didn’t want to upset you and admit that I feel asleep, so I just pretended to go along with whatever it was you were saying. Now I know what I missed. It was bigger than I thought.”
The Dating Game: Breaking Up Is Really, Really Hard To Do, pg 103, Natalie Standiford
“But how can you tell how you really feel about someone unless you get all tangled up with him? Everybody’s got irritating habits. If you let that stop you, you’ll never find anybody you like.”
The Dating Game: Breaking Up Is Really, Really Hard To Do, pg 123, Natalie Standiford
And that’s how you know if he’s “it,” Holly realized. When it breaks your heart to see him with someone else.

“They could fall in love at first sight. The course of true love is uncontrollable and unpredictable.”
The Dating Game: Can True Love Survive High School?, pg 30, Natalie Standiford
“I understand,” Mads said. “But still, I don’t like being taken for granted.”
The Dating Game: Can True Love Survive High School?, pg 153, Natalie Standiford
If she lost his friendship…well that would make another hole. And how much emptiness could one person take?

Can True Love Survive High School? That is the question. And here is my answer. True love is delicate. It needs tender loving care, the best conditions, and the tenacity of a pit bull. High school is rough, tough, crazy, full of temptations, hormones, and people who have lost their minds. Can true love survive all that? Maybe. But it won’t be easy. If you do manage to make it past graduation, I think you’re safe. You’ve found it. True love.

Sometimes books do all of the hard work for you.
