Describe a part of the book that made you feel something strongly (i.e. something that made you cry, laugh, get really angry, etc.).
This book is about a girl named Grace. She accuses the school's most popular boy: Zac, of rape. Ian is Zac's best friend and he sees past all the things that are said about Grace and doesn't reject her. Although, what pisses me off is this part:
"Ian?" I call him, and the effect is like pouring water on a flame...
"No skanks, just men aloud here," Jeremy calls to me.
"Guess you'll have to eat somewhere else," I shoot back.
"Back off, Bitch," He tries to look mean, but he can't pull it off.
Ian finally finds his voice. "Chill, Linz. What do you want Grace? Sense a disturbance in the force?" He snaps at me, and I flinch when the guys howl behind him... I get it. This is a court and Ian's on trial. They're making him choose---them or me.
... I shift my weight to one side, throw a challenging look Ian's way. (Come on, jerk. Bring it. I won't make this easy for you. Look me in the eyes and say it.)
... He ambles closer, examining the tray I'm still holding. "Food for me?"... He... makes a face of disgust. "You didn't touch this, did you?"... "Get the hell out of here,"(Page 238-239).
Oooh this makes so mad! Imagine she was in the Cafe because she was worried for his health and also bought him a lunch that she didn't have to!
