"Have you ever noticed how when boys are stressed out, all they want to do is play video games by themselves for hours or got to he park and kick a ball around with the other boys? When we get stressed out, we're productive. We clean our closets, shop for the perfect new bag, get our nails done, our eyebrows waxed, and our teeth cleaned. Sitting still is the last thing we want to do, and the thing we most want is to be around people of the opposite sex. Girls -- even our closest girl friends -- are too competitive and will only weird us out even more, while boys provide a soothing distraction. But how does it work when all the boys are busy hanging with one another, playing ball? ... We can try not to get all competitive and weird on our girl friends and have a little fun with them. Face it, after you're done kissing that certain special boy, all you really want to do is call your girl friends, anyway."

"I have known a certain boy my whole life and I"m pretty sure I've been in love with him all that time, I just never realized it. He was with my best friend, and now he's with another friend of mine, although I'm pretty sure that's close to being over.
