Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. It includes two sentences from your current read without any spoilers!
Today I'm reading Ariel by Aaron Patterson.
"What would he see in me? I don't really stand out. Then again, why would I want him to notice me? Sure, he's hot, but what else is there to the guy? He probably gets girls falling all over him everywhere he goes. Especially the rechargeable kind, the ones with perky, dumb personalities and nothing to say but nonsense. And guys are so stupid anyway--always falling for blonde hair and blue eyes and cheerleader uniforms. He's probably just like every other guy--just let it go. Ignore him, girl--he's bad news." Pg. 23
"That night, Luke asks me if I have a webcam so we can video chat. I tell him there's one build into my computer.BlueSkyBoi: Well, what are we waiting for?Abyangel99: I don't know. Nothing, I guess. Hold on a sec.I throw a bathrobe over my camisole and pajama bottoms and make sure my hair looks okay. Then I click on the video icon so he can see me, and wait for him to start his. When Luke turns his on, his face is half in shadow. I put in my earbuds, so no one at my house can hear the conversation."
"For years later, I watched a man in a scruffy suit write it down on a piece of paper: Date of Death: 10.10.2001. I'd found her in the morning. I'd got up, like normal, put my school things on, helped myself to some cereal. No milk, because it stank when I got out of the fridge. I left the carton on the side, put the kettle on, and ate my Coco Pops while it boiled. Then I made Mum a black coffee and carried it carefully into her room. She was still in bed, kind of leaning over. Here eyes were open, and there was stuff, sick, don her front and on the covers. I put the coffee down on the floor, next to the needle." pg. 4
"No, what keeps her from getting out of bed is the fact that everything looks, sounds, and smells amazing. Last night she had been too distracted by the argument to really take it all in. But now, the way the sunlight glances through the window, the way dust motes drift through the air, and even the weaving cracks of the hardwood floor seem so fascinating that she can hardly tear herself away from them. It's as if these inanimate objects call to her in some strange way."pg. 152
"The first boy disappeared on the day of his birth, on a night when the pale yellow moon that ruled the sky turned red and bathed the heavens in the ghastly color of blood, the same night the Empire of Cokyri abruptly ceased its merciless attack. Across the land of Hytanica, in the villages, infant boys continued to vanish." pg. 11
"Why are we doing this again?" David asked after they'd driven around for almost an hour looking for the right part of town. "David, there's something wrong with that guy. I can feel it.""Yeah, but sneaking to his office and peeking in the windows? That's a little much." --pg. 141
