Kelly Oram Quotes

Patience, young grasshopper," he teased. "Good things come to those who wait." "How very wise of you," I teased back.
Russ shrugged. "I eat a lot of fortune cookies.

The way I see it," Carter said, "I have to keep your secret because if I don't call a truce with you, that someone who's going to get killed someday
will probably be me." I shrugged. He was right about that. But I smiled again and held out my hand. "Fine. Truce."
"Truce," Carter agreed, and shook my hand. "So how about a statement for my article?"
"Sure. 'No comment.'

When a girl lets you be the one to hold her as her entire world falls apart, even though you're ass naked, it changes the way you see her.

I'm going to hell for the lies I tell.

We're Cinder and Ella, woman! We're supposed to get our fairy-tale ending!

I've known I was ready to spend the rest of my life with you for a long time, Jamie. I was only waiting for your stubborn butt to realize it, too.

Thoughts of you runnin' through my head
Heart's pumpin' full speed ahead
Body's screaming to get you in bed
Need you, want you, baby gotta be mine
Come to me girl, I'm done wastin' time

You ask me to wait, don't know if I can
Too scared to lose, I'm only a man
But I can't let you go, can't shut the
door
Heart's telling me you're worth waiting for

The feel of your lips, hot breath on my skin
Touching you, touching me, I'd relish the sin
Let's find a way for us both to win
Need you, want you, baby gotta be mine
Come to me girl, I'm done wastin' time

You ask me to wait, don't know if I can
Too scared to lose, I'm only a man
But I can't let you go, can't shut the door
Heart's telling me you're worth waiting for

Forever I'll wait, it's drivin' me mad
Driven by memories I've not yet had
Hangin' on a promise of you and me
Hope springs eternal for things that
could be

You ask me to wait, don't know if I can
Too scared to lose, I'm only a man
But I can't let you go, can't shut the
door
Heart's telling me you're worth waiting
for

You ask me to wait, don't know if I can
Too scared to lose, I'm only a man
Bring on the torture, forever and more
'Cause girl it's true, you're worth
waiting for

But that's the thing with depression. Sometimes there is no controlling it. Sometimes it sneaks up on you.

The only way to describe what happened next is the word attack.

Needless to say, Virgin Val Jensen is no longer a virgin. I made sure of that ... many, many times.

Besides, if one little kiss makes her a slut, I'd hate to know what that makes you.

I'm just not, okay? Can we please drop it? I'm done working on the experiment for the day. We're supposed to be helping Grayson with his physics too, and he's got a make up quiz tomorrow on Newton's Laws."
This seemed to stop everyone. I wasn't sure why they were suddenly all staring at me until Brandon said, "Did you really fail a quiz on Newton's Laws?"
Okay. So they were staring at me because they all thought I was a moron. "What?" I asked a little defensively. "Like it's easy? 'Don't steal' I get. 'Red means stop' makes perfect sense. That Newton guy was smoking some serious crack when he made up his laws. When the hell will I ever use that stuff anyway?

I didn't realize upping our relationship to phone buddies would come with a boyfriend title. Does that mean if we ever meet in person, we'll have to get married?

Oops," I whispered as I met Ryan's worried gaze. "Sorry about that."
"Are you kidding? That was great!"
"Great? I knocked out the electricity."
"But you didn't blow up my room.

I'm too comfortable to lift my head up right now, but just so you know, I'm rolling my eyes at your arrogance.

How's this for a punch line," she whispered, wetting her lips as her gaze fell to my mouth. The action made me forget to breathe. "Marry me today, and I'll stay the night again tonight, only this time instead of asking you to stop, I'll beg you not to.

It's just not worth it to be so stressed and angry about everything. Life's generally not so bad- most people just choose to see the negative.

Legs with attitude." Kyle's tone warmed with approval. "Why don't you bring those beauties over here. I got a spot all ready for 'em." He and his buddies all chuckled when he patted his lap.
I wasn't exactly impressed. "I think these legs are fine where they are, thank you very much."
Kyle wasn't deterred at all by my rejection. "I wouldn't have expected legs like those to be quite so shy."
"Not shy," I informed him. "Just holding out for a better offer.

I was concussed! My brain was scrambled. Whatever I said, it didn't count.
I'm sorry to hear that. I kind of liked the idea of being gorgeous.
I'm sure you already know that.
It's still nice to know that you think
so.

El-lie, Come out, come out, wherever you are! The cat's finally away. Time for the mouse to come out and play.

I've got news for you, Aves. When a guy says he wants to take you out in the name of science, he's totally full of it. He really just wants to take you out."
"But you've taken me out like a million times for the experiment. You kissed me once in the name of science."
"Exactly.

Come on," he said, and then dragged me toward the house.
I stopped when we got to the porch. "What is that smell?"
Ryan sniffed his shirt and with a smile said, "Armani. You like it?"
"Not you," I said. "It smells like someone is frying up dog vomit in your house." This took Ryan by surprise. I guess it was pretty random. "You're
really sick sometimes, Baker," Ryan said. "You know that?

A great character needs trials to overcome - experiences to give them depth, to make them vulnerable, relatable, and likable. Good characters need hardships to make them strong. The idea makes sense, but it still sucks if you're the heroine.

This is most definitely a real date," he promised so passionately it made me shiver. "I asked you out. I'm paying for your dinner. There will be dancing later, and I will be kissing you when the clock strikes twelve tonight."
I let out a tiny squeak of fear and Grayson upped his intensity. "It's going to happen, Aves, and youare going to like it.

Marry me," I said. I sounded as astonished as she looked, but it felt right. It was right. When I spoke again, my voice went from surprised to insistent. "Be my wife, Val. Be the woman who wakes up in this bed with me every morning for the rest of our lives. Fight with me how Robin and Alan do.
Make love to me. Have my children." Her eyes popped so wide that I laughed and said, "You know, eventually, someday.

Why you?" I asked. "Why are you the one
here with me? Why isn't it him?"
Grayson's smile was sad and full of sympathy. "I don't know, Aves, but maybe it's for the best. You guys are almost seventeen. If it hasn't happened by now, maybe it's not supposed to."
"I can't accept that."
"Denial isn't good for you."
"It isn't denial."
"Now you're denying your denial."
"But look at you," I said. "You always thought I was like a sister too. If you can change your mind, then he can too. He just needs a wake up call."
"Hey now, you can't just go jumping in the shower with every guy you know. That's totally our thing.

My therapist played your interview in front of everyone I know. I was the only one who hadn't seen it. I had no idea what was going on and everyone stared at me the whole time. I had to watch that interview with my father standing over my shoulder. It was so embarrassing."
Brian crossed his arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow. "My love for you is embarrassing?"
Miracle of miracles, I managed to keep a straight face. "There's such a thing as subtlety, Brian. You could benefit from a few lessons on the subject."
I'd been doing well, but when Brian's face fell into a pout I burst into laughter. "I loved it.

Right then I wasn't a freak. I wasn't an ice queen. I didn't have powers. What I had was a friend comforting me when I needed it most. Right then I was just a normal girl, and Ryan was the superhero.

Seth: All these intense feelings I have for you drive me so crazy.

As he gave me the world's most loving tender, perfect kiss, I realized my heart belonged to him forever, and nothing in my life has ever caused me more pain.

One second I was cleaning up dinner and the next I was being devoured like I was dessert.

Becky!" I had to laugh. "You're worse than me! It's no wonder he's such an egomaniac."
"What? You're telling me you can say no to that face?"
I wanted to say yes, but it would have been a lie and we all knew it.

I kissed Ryan, and it charged him up like a freaking Duracell.

Seth: I need you to be mine. I can't handle this chasing you around nonsense anymore. These moments we have, where it feels like I almost have you but I'm always wondering what you're thinking and waiting for you to run from me? I can't take it. It's for this to be a real relationship.

I haven't had time," I said, exasperated. "As soon as I remembered, I came straight here." Ryan turned to face me before clicking on the results. I
didn't like the way he was suddenly looking very suspiciously at me. "You were really upset ... " he prompted, but I didn't know what he wanted me to
say.
"Your point?"
"My point is, when you freaked out you came straight to me for help. That is the most girlfriendy thing ever. I don't know why you won't just accept
what you are.

I think this conversation was making Grayson uncomfortable, but I couldn't stop myself. My brain was stuck in a loop because moving forward meant acknowledging that Aiden saw me as a sister, and that was simply unacceptable.
"He just hasn't ever considered the possibility of a relationship between us," I insisted. "Maybe he hasn't hit that level of maturity yet. I mean it's not like he's ever gone out with anyone else. He never talks about any other girls."
"Maybe he's gay.

The most mind-blowing part of it all was the fact that he seemed to think I was the one thing he needed to make sense of it all.

I took a six pound dump," Jack offered.
"You lie." I laughed. The J's could always make me feel better.
"It's true," Josh said. "Our whole scrimmage team weighed in before and after."
"I won twenty bucks!"
"Congrats, Jack. You've reached a new level of disgusting."
"But I won twenty bucks.

Great," I groaned when I finally understood what he was telling me. "You're saying I'm a supernatural and I'm still the most pathetic person on the planet?

The look on his face was heartbreaking. He was hurting because I was, and he had no idea what to do or say to make me feel better.

I didn't know Westley liked 'em pretty.
I didn't know Westley liked 'em at all.

How do you know when a lead singer's knocking at your door?" he asked. "He can't find the key and doesn't know when to come in.

I don't know. I think I've seen this movie, and it doesn't turn out so well for me."
I smiled at that, even though she hadn't meant it to be funny. "How much you want to bet? I'm sure you've seen nature shows on alpha males or pack leaders or whatever - the whole flock of sheep thing, right?" I turned my smile extra confident because I know it annoys her when I act cocky. "Aves,Grayson Kennedy is at the top of the Spanish Fork High food chain. I'm the king of the jungle. My friends will like you because I like you.

Our experiences shape who we are.

True beauty comes from inside a person. If you feel beautiful, then you'll look beautiful to others no matter what's on the surface.

It's really better this way, Ryan," Paige said with a sympathy that made me nauseous.
"Better for who?" he asked her. "For Jamie? For me? Or maybe just better for you. I can't believe you, Paige! You have no idea what she's been
through! Pain like you could never imagine! And you're throwing it in her face over and over again for what? Because I'd rather go out with her than
with you?
You call her the ice queen, but Jamie would never do something like that to anyone."
"But look at what she's doing to you," Paige said.
"She's done nothing but make me happy, and she's had to turn her entire life around just to do it.
You guys are the ones doing all the damage!

There's nothing sweeter than that which is forbidden.

You want to know why you've never been able to make me cry?" I asked. "Because you're trying to tear down someone who's already hit rock bottom. You can't make me feel any worse about myself than I already do.

You're already mine. You just don't know it yet.

How about, 'And they lived happily ever after'?

There is something seriously wrong with your friend.

Brian Oliver was hot on TV. In person, he was downright mesmerizing.

The chance to touch you like this," Russ said, "in a way that could never be mistaken for friendship, it's all I ever think about anymore."

A loud, slow clap startled both Russ and me from the trance we'd fallen into. ... "Now that was a line. Seriously, I'm going to have to use that sometime."

"Yeah, and until you showed up the line was working.

I suppose you can't interview Virgin Val without bringing up Kyle Hamilton

Because I kissed you? Seriously? You only like me because I'm a good kisser? That's it. We're not doing this. I'm not letting you risk your life just
because you can't think with your upstairs brain."
"No, you twit." Ryan laughed. "Because you kissed me that day. I expected the ice queen and got a funny, go-with-the-flow girl that didn't care what
anyone thought about her. A girl willing to stir up gossip just so that I could win a date with someone else.
"You didn't have to help me. In fact, you probably should have been insulted, but you weren't.
You kissed me, you smiled, and then you wished me good luck. No one's ever surprised me like that. I couldn't figure out why you did it, and I just
had to get to know you after that." I had no idea that stupid kiss had that kind of effect on him. Charged him up like a battery, sure, but do all that? All
this time I really thought it was just the superkissing that kept him coming back. I looked down at my lunch, feeling a little ashamed of my lack of faith
in him, but Ryan couldn't stop there.
Oh, no, not Ryan Miller.
"After that day, every time I was with you I got brief glimpses of the real Jamie, the one who is dying to break out, and she was this fun, relaxed,
smart, funny, caring girl. Finding out the truth about you only made you that much more incredible. You're so strong. You've gone through so much,
you're going through so much, but you never stop trying. You're am

It wasn't his touch that was making my insides feel strange. It was the look in his eyes. Passion. Passion for me. Passion for this moment. Passion for his music. Passion for life. Just passion. It was as if Kyle Hamilton's entire being was made of passion, and he was sending that passion straight into me.

Never make the mistake of badmouthing cats in front of her. I think she used to be one in a past life."
...
"Definitely a cat in a past life," Owen muttered next to me. "But, like, a big scary one that ate people.

Seth: One of these days I'll teach you the difference between a single kiss and making out.

Apparently what I inspired by Kyle Hamilton who was a multiple personalities disorder

Who ordered the legs?"
My eyes widened at the way Kyle Hamilton's eyes roamed up and down my entire body. The smile on his face did something to the pit of my stomach. I knew the skirt looked good, but I still couldn't believe a guy like him was looking at me like that. Our eyes locked and his smile turned cocky when my disbelief registered with him.
"Hi beautiful.

Angela: What I asked what [Seth] was doing, he said, Figuring out how to make Ellie fall for me.

You took away the numbness. You made me remember how to feel, how to care about someone other than myself.

That's right. I, Jamie Baker, the world's only superpowered girl, come complete with supersenses, deadly lightning bolts, and - you guessed it - the ability to superkiss someone.
Evildoers of the world, beware.

Are you going to put on your old cheer uniform?"
Ryan was a little too excited by the thought of me in a costume, so I squashed that idea, and fast.
"In your dreams."
"Not exactly." Ryan grinned wickedly. "In my dreams you're usually dressed like Wonder Woman."
Ugh. I wondered how long it would take for him to start in on the superhero crap. Obviously, not long. I was not amused, but Ryan seemed to think
himself hilarious. I could also tell by the look on his face that he was quite confident he'd have me in costume one day. "Never gonna happen," I
assured him. "Ever."
And of course he responded with that classic, cocky smile. "Just like you were never gonna be my girlfriend, right?

Give me a day. Just today. If that works, then give me tomorrow.

What?" "You're smiling like Mom at a New Kids On The Block concert.

I'll wait for you. I'll wait all the way to the altar if we make it that far." Startled, her body went stiff and her breath hitched. Her beautiful brown eyes, glossy from a layer of unshed tears, stared up at me with both fear and hope. Vulnerable as she was in that moment, she was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
"I've been waiting for you since the moment I put on the bracelet," I said. "And you're waiting for me, too." I smirked at the question in her eyes. "Four years and you've never fallen for anyone else?
You're not over me. You still want this as much as I do.

Heard my girl Avery stomped you so hard in a game of pool that Grayson had to take pity on you before every college freshman at UVU saw just how small your junk is.

Seth: If he needs Angela to point out to him how special you are, then he doesn't deserve you.

Dating any of the J's would have been like dating, not my brother necessarily, but definitely a stepbrother, or a cousin.

You think I'm gross?" Grayson asked.
"Yes, I do. You are so horny it's unhealthy. You burb in my face every time you eat onions, and you don't bother to leave the room before you fart. This afternoon you dripped your sweat on me. On purpose!

He's my best friend, and I love him, but I'm not in love with him

Are you blushing right now, Ellamara?"
"I'm pretty sure even my grandmother is blushing in her grave after that visual, Cinder.

The worst part is, he's been extra sweet because he's trying to make everything okay again. If he weren't a serial killer, he'd be the perfect boyfriend

According to Mr. E., all of this was my fault," Ryan explained. With a little too much amusement if you ask me. "For making you fall in love with me
and ruining everything."
"Why did that ruin everything?"
Ryan was quiet for a moment, and I couldn't believe it when his grin changed into that infamous cocky smirk. "You just said you love me!" he
accused with excitement.
Again, I gaped at him, temporarily speechless. Of course I denied it. I had to; it was my natural reaction to his ego. "I did not!"
"Did too." He grinned. "You said, 'why did that ruin everything.' Meaning you agree that it happened. You said it. Can't take it back. You love me."
Learning to control my powers was child's play compared to keeping a straight face right then, but I couldn't give in to his smugness. He was just so
sure of himself. "Do not."
"Do too."
"Do not."
"So do too.

There are people out there that will be able to see past your scars to the girl inside.

She's smokin' hearts with a burnin' flame
She's got a wild side without a name
And when she's riled it's a cryin' shame
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I've got it bad
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I'm going' mad

Cause in your head you've got it right
Won't go to bed without a fight
You think you're wise, you think it shows
So show me wise without those clothes

Isaac raised an eyebrow at me, but I couldn't even shrug. I was frozen. My heart had stopped. Everything had stopped.

She's playin' hardball and it's nothin' new
Short skirts so enjoy the view
She's a coldblooded tease baby through and through
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I've got it bad
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I'm goin' mad

Cause in your head you've got it right
Won't go to bed without a fight
You think you're wise you think it shows
So show me wise without those clothes

Come on Legs don't go to waste
I could be your only savin' grace"

"Put those morals on the back burner
Something tells me you're a fast fast learner

As I listened to the chorus taunt me over and over again until the song came to a climatic end, I somehow remembered to breathe.
