Bryce Loski Quotes

The room fell quiet. And as I read down the list of over one hundred and fifty eight-grade boys, I realized that to me, there had only ever been one boy.

What he did to my heart was sheer, inexplicable, magic.

Maybe my mother's right. Maybe there is more to Bryce Loski than I know. Maybe it's time to meet him in the proper light.

...and I realized that Garrett was right about one thing- I had flipped. Completely.

My grandfather stood beside me and looked across the street, too. "No, Bryce," he said softly. "She's the same as she's always been; you're the one who's changed." He clapped his hand on my shoulder and whispered, "And son, from here on out, you'll never be the same again.

But in my heart I knew the old Bryce was toast. There was no going back. Not to Garrett or Shelly or Miranda or any of the other people who wouldn't understand. Juli was different, but after all these years that didn't bother me anymore. I liked it. I liked her.

So there I was, with the two hottest girls on campus, having lunch. I was "the man", the envy of every other guy in our school. Buddy, I was miserable." -Bryce Loski

I liked it. I liked her. And every time I saw her, she seemed more beautiful. She just seemed to glow. I'm not talking like a hundred-watt bulb; she just had this warmth to her. Maybe it came from climbing that tree. Maybe it came from singing to chickens. Maybe it came from whacking at two-by-fours and dreaming about perpetual motion. I don't know. All I know is that compared to her, Shelly and Miranda seemed so...ordinary.

She didn't just barge into my life. She barged and shoved and wedged her way into my life.

And now I was seeing that there was something really cool about that family. All of them. They were just...real. And who were we? There was something spinning wickedly out of control inside this house. It was like seeing inside the Baker's world had opened up windows into our own, and the view was not a pretty one. Where had all this stuff come from? And why hadn't I ever seen it before.

Was I really afraid of hurting her feelings? Or was I afraid of her?

La triste realidad es que mayoría de las personas no se muestran como son hasta que ya es tarde.

The first day I met Bryce Loski, I flipped. Honestly, one look at him and I became a lunatic. It’s his eyes. Something in his eyes. They’re blue, and framed in the blackness of his lashes, they’re dazzling. Absolutely breathtaking.

No se puede pensar en lo que podría haber sido, Bryce—entonces, como si pudiera leer mi mente, añadió—: Y no es justo condenarlo por algo que no ha hecho.

Lo que le hizo a mi corazón era puro, una magia inexplicable. - Juli

—El carácter de uno se forma en una temprana edad, hijo. Las decisiones que tomes ahora te afectarán para el resto de tu vida—Se quedó callado por un momento, luego dejó caer la cortina y dijo—: Odio verte nadar tan lejos que después no puedas regresar.

Entonces él me miró y sonrió, y mi corazón dio un vuelco.

Él se limitó a sonreír y dijo—: Algunos de nosotros tenemos un acabado mate, otros satinado, otros esmaltado.... —él se volvió hacia mí—. Pero de vez en cuando conoces a alguien que es iridiscente, y cuando ocurre, no hay nada comparable.

Se podía quedar con sus brillantes ojos azules. Se podía quedar su hipócrita sonrisa y… y mi beso. ¡Eso es! Se podía quedar eso, también. ¡Jamás, jamás volvería a hablar con él!

¿De verdad tenía miedo de herir sus sentimientos? ¿O le tenía miedo a ella?

Al igual que, de repente, yo no encajaba en ninguna parte. Ni en la escuela, ni en la casa... y cada vez que me daba vuelta, otra persona que había conocido desde siempre se sentía como un extraño para mí. Incluso, me sentí como un extraño.

Y a pesar de que pretendía seguir la conversación, lo que realmente estaba haciendo era tratando de no mirar a Juli.
