  • High School Quote #1

    A few other couples joined us on the dance floor and we lost ourselves among them. I'd never been able to figure out exactly what was involved in slow dancing, so I contented myself, as I had since high school, with gripping my partner to me, letting out awkward breaths against her ear, and tipping from foot to foot like someone waiting for a bus. I could feel the sweat cooling on her forearms and smell a trace of apples in her hair.

  • High School Quote #3

    Adam stared down at me, his expression thunderous. “It was you. I know it was you.”

    My head was rocking side to side before I could stop it. “No.” I wrenched my hand free of his. “You’re wrong.”

    “I’m not!” Anger blazed hot behind his eyes as they burned into me. “Look at me, Kia! Look me in the eye and tell me you’re not her.

    After a kiss like that, he should know I’m the one. 
    He should be down on his knees begging me to marry him and have his little Hottie babies.

    After that, a strange thing happened: Amy couldn't stop her expectations from rising. She imagined herself transformed and beautiful, like Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink, with her homemade dress and mysterious lace boots. She pictured her hair in an upsweep of loose curls. In the fantasy, her prom face looked like the one she only wore asleep, loose and relaxed. She imagined a photographer asking her to smile and, for the first time in her life, being able to do it.

  • High School Quote #8

    Ah, group projects. Some people love 'em, some people hate 'em - okay, most people hate 'em. Your grade now depends on other people whom you may never have met before, and you've somehow got to do the impossible: find some time when a bunch of super-busy high school or college students can actually meet in person.

    Stefanie Weisman
  • High School Quote #9

    Ah, such a good pretty one.' There was a pause, 'You even got yourself dressed up.

  • High School Quote #10

    All Julie has to do is explain to her friends that she's using it to individually seal each item that she throws out.
    Then they'd think she was a geek, I said.
    She will thank me later, Monk said.
    Why would she thank you for being considered a geek?
    Don't you know anything about teenage life? Monk said. It's a badge of respect.
    It is?
    I was one, he said.
    You don't say.
    A very special one. I was crowned King of the Geeks, not once, but every single year of high school, Monk said. It's a record that remains unbroken in my school to this day.
    Were there a lot of students who wanted to be King of the Geeks?
    It's like being homecoming king, only better. You don't have to go to any dances, Monk said. You aren't even invited.

  • High School Quote #11

    All the recognizable cliques came by, and so did those un-groupable stragglers who were known by their little circles of two or three.

    Adi Alsaid
  • High School Quote #12

    All those people who are chained here thinking that their reputations matter and this little shit matters are so freaking shortsighted. Dude, what matters is that you're happy. What matters is your future. What matters is that we get out of here in one piece. What matters is finding the truth of our own lives, not caring about what other people think is the truth of us.

    A.S. King
  • High School Quote #13

    And I understood why he didn’t need friends or to be accepted at our shitty racist high school, because he had his music, and that was so much better than anything we had to offer.

    Matthew Quick
  • High School Quote #14

    And it wasn't just us. It wasn't just that we were high school, me a junior and you a senior, with our clothes all wrong for restaurants like this, too bright and too rumpled and too zippered and too stained and too slapdash and awkward and stretched and trendy and desperate and casual and unsure and baggy and sweaty and sporty and wrong.

    Daniel Handler
  • High School Quote #15

    And what do you want?”
    I almost choked. “How could you even ask me that, Henry?”
    He sighed. “Because I’m thousands of miles away. Because I Skyped into your living room late one night and there’s a dude sitting next to you in the dark. Because Thanet tells me things. And Tennyson sent me a picture of you in a dress that looks like lingerie.”
    “It’s not that bad,” I said.
    “I didn’t say it was bad, Meg. It’s about a million miles from bad.” His voice was breaking with exasperation. “Things are crazy here, and I’m questioning everything.

    Arkadia wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head upon the muscular cliff face he called his chest.

    Dzintra Sullivan
  • High School Quote #17

    Around eighth grade Margot started getting really sensitive about her weight, even though she wasn’t remotely fat—just a little round-faced. So Margot did what any normal fourteen-year-old girl would do. She started puking on purpose, every day after fifth period. Of course now, she does more than puke. But we don’t talk about that. Because real friends don’t judge each other for what they do to survive in hell.

    Isobel Irons
  • High School Quote #18

    As long as we don't get turned into something that looks more like high school, more like everybody else and less like us, I'll be okay.

    Adi Alsaid
  • High School Quote #19

    as we are endowed. with rhetorics. none will deny.
    of innocence. towards scribbling. of love lines.
    and of lust.
    to what seems like male.
    to what seems like female.
    in those days.
    I mean nothing. but in high school.
    .even me.
    I can't deny.

    Michael Bassey Johnson
  • High School Quote #20

    At Chadham High, the safest place to be gay was in the closet.

    Huston Piner
  • High School Quote #21

    At seventeen, the smallest crises took on tremendous proportions; someone else's thoughts could take root in the loam of your own mind; having someone accept you became as vital as oxygen. Adults, light years away from this, rolled their eyes and smirked this too shall pass - as if adolescence was a disease like chicken pox, something that everyone recalled as a mild nuisance, completely forgettingone how painful it had been at the time.

    Jodi Picoult
  • High School Quote #22

    Attack me already. Please! I can’t take it anymore.
    But I don’t say any of that. I just savor each and every slow, amazing, and tongue-free kiss. 
    Maybe he was born without a tongue, I think for a brief second, but then I realize that I am dumb because he wouldn’t be able to talk if he had been, now would he?

    Aw, c'mon. She purred, her breath warm in my ear.
    You know you wanna...
    God, she was slurring. She smelled like beer.
    I'd never been to turned on in my life.
    This has gotta be some kinda rape.
    I thought to myself.
    She's SO drunk.
    Nina smiled lazily up at me, grasping my hands and guiding them to her slender waist.
    I was gonna get another chance like this till college. I lived in the buckle of the Bible Belt for Christ's sake. The angel on my shoulder was composing a letter to Penthouse.
    I'd hidden myself for so long.
    Damn it, I deserved this.
    I pulled Nina up against me and hauled her to her feet.
    She was so small; I could almost put her over my shoulder.
    Come on. I sighed.
    Let's get you some waster.

    Back in high school, I started a gang called “The Illiterates.” To easily identify fellow gang members, we all wore letterman jackets.

  • High School Quote #25

    Be careful who you call crazy. Some of us think it's a compliment.

    Marilynn Dawson
  • High School Quote #26

    Because isn’t that what eternity is? It’s your own high school. Where the good girls are always good, the stupid boys are always stupid, the marching band always plays some lame tribute to whatever Broadway musical was big twenty-five years ago...

    Mary Crockett and Madelyn Rosenberg
  • High School Quote #27

    Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

    Bob Dylan
  • High School Quote #28

    Being in a wheelchair has made everyday things difficult. Things you wouldn't imagine. Like the looks I get at high school basketball games when they tell everyone to stand for the National Anthem.

    Travis J. Dahnke
  • High School Quote #29

    Being kind is one of the hardest thing to be in high school because you're so terrified of being cut down yourself that you're always on your guard. But don't be like that. Be kind and you will be truly different. A standout. Unique and happy.

    Wendy Wunder
  • High School Quote #30

    Beyond these moments, she could hardly count the fumbling ministrations of boys in high school who, even to her senior prom, never went beyond sticky pleasantries. With one exception, it was just a sort of half-clothed handshake for bragging rights, none hers.
