The Young Elites
Quotes from the Book
We're all good until we're not strong enough to be anymore.
Count to three. Relax your mind. Now survive.
Until they rip us apart, and even then, I'll fight.
I swallow hard. She's right. But if something happens to her, I'll never forgive myself. "Then I'll let you go," I say, and lean forward to cut the bindings. "But... you owe me something first." 'And that is?" She's still staring up at the sky. "A kiss" I say. Her eyes never meet mine. "Well?" I ask. She nods and smiles, finally throwing me a stare that's as deadly as poison "You can kiss my ass, Zephyr James.
So now, when three Landers, members of a street gang, approach me in the back alley behind the Library, knives drawn, the silver barrel of a gun pointed at my heart, I know I am ready.
I remember the one thing I have always known all along. I am not my mother’s daughter. I do not run from fear, but dive into it headfirst, the way my father taught me.
...he still knows how to love, and how to be soft, in a world full of hate.
Ela não é bonita.É diferente,rígida e intocável,como se tivesse sido esculpida em pedra.No entanto faz com que eu mantenha a minha sanidade quando mais nada resulta.É como se ela me pusesse os pés bem na terra,como a gravidade,só que com muito mais força.Ela protege-me das pessoas sem rosto que me perseguem todas as noites e a cada instante do meu dia.
A imagem do seu rosto,com um sorriso estranhamente imperfeito e olhos de esmeralda atormentam-me o resto do dia.
...seria capaz de fazer tudo por esta rapariga.Até a seguia para o Inferno se tal fosse preciso.E,conhecendo-a,é talvez para aí que nos dirigimos.
Inclina-se para a frente,com os olhos acesos como brasas,e põe as mãos em volta da minha cara.
No one has ever looked at me this way before, like I am something worth seeing
O sorriso nunca desaparece do rosto de Zephyr. Quando volta a si,momentos depois,puxo-o mais para mim e esmago os meus lábios nos dele.
