Your Dad Will Do by Katee Robert 💗💗💗

"Maybe you haven't noticed, but every female in this school has a lady boner for you."

He attempted a stoic expression, but the intensity of his disgust shone through.

"They call it Morning Worship."

I stared at the wall before me, basking in his discomfort.

"To think, when the lights go out, all those dutiful prayer hands are petting the kitty in your honor." 

Lessons in Sin

"I can't abide two-person selfies.

One person's face looks like a billboard, and the other looks like a doll head."

Totally Folked

"Time to count sheep, I guess."

I roll in the opposite direction of Wesley, features twisting into Kill Me Now.

I will never be cool.

"Does that work for you?"

"Sure."

I'm lying again. Being nervous is turning me into a liar.

"I mean, no. Have you ever tried it? What do you think about before you go to sleep?"

He falls quiet. I think he's trying to figure out what I'm really asking.

"It's like sheep, but Maybells.

A whole bunch of you, one after the other, skipping through a field." 

Twice Shy

Our life is the photograph that rich dimwits pay for at the theme park because their memories alone are inadequate.

His love is so like his cruel Catholic god's--the god who punishes you for your sins at the same time he bleeds to forgive them. Eternally tender and coldly just. 

American King

The mind isn't simply a dangerous place, it's the most dangerous place. All that's wrong, sinful, and evil starts in the mind. It's ironic how the part of the human body that controls everything is also the most out of control part of the body.
