"I think you’re freaked about what happened at Cambridge. I think it scared you. I’ve been through worse, Bex, I said, joining her on the lower stairs. Way worse. Oh, not the attack. Bex raised her finger in contradiction. What happened before the attack. I think you saw the future. Which is kind of freaky when - two months ago - you didn’t think you were going to have one."

"So far Kat has been through all the Wa's she could think of, but Hale hadn't admitted to being Walter or Ward or Washington. He'd firmly denied both Warren and Waverly. Watson had prompted him to do a very bad Sherlock Holmes impersonation throughout a good portion of a train ride to Edinburgh, Scotland. And Wayne seemed so wrong she hadn't even tried. Hale was Hale. And not knowing what the W's stood for had become a constant reminder to Kat that, in life, there are some things that can be given but never stolen. Of course, that didn't stop her from trying."

"You really saw some? Liz said an hour later. Sure, we had the stereo blaring and the shower running, but Liz still whispered, They really...exist? Liz, I whispered back, they're not unicorns. No, Bex said flatly, they're boys. And they're...good."

"the only way Bex would miss this would be if she were unconscious. And tied up. And in a concrete bunker. In Siberia."

"Teenage girls read in packs. It's true today, and it was true when I was a teen growing up in a small town in northeast Oklahoma."

"It is an occupational hazard that anyone who has spent her life learning how to lie eventually becomes bad at telling the truth."

"Somtimes people run to see if you'll ever come after them. -Joe"

"My name is Cammie!” I didn’t think about all the people I could have woken, all the alarms that might have gone off. I just snapped, “How did you know about Boston? Why are you working with Mr. Solomon now? Are you my friend or are you my enemy, Zach? Or, wait, let me guess, you can’t tell me."

"I wanted to pull away, remind him that I was a big girl, a highly trained operative, a spy - that I'd been training for this mission my entire life, and I wasn't going to be left on the sidelines. But in the dim space with Zach pressed tightly against me, only one thought came to mind. I kissed him - longer and deeper than I ever had before. The school was not watching us this time. There was nothing playful in the tone. We were just two people kissing as if for the first time, as if it might be the last. And then I broke away. "So," I asked, as if I got kissed like that all the time (which, believe me, I don't), "where is it you're taking me again" "The tombs."

"Somebody knows."

"'Tell Suzie she's a lucky cat.' Have sexier words ever been spoken?"

"Hale." Kat sighed. "The headmaster's car? Really? That's not to cliched for you"What can I say" He shrugged. "I'm an old-fashioned guy. Besides, it's a classic for a reason." He leaned against the window. "It's good to see you, Kat."Kat didn't know what to say. It's good to see you, too? Thanks for getting me kicked out? Is it possible you've gotten even hotter? I think I might have missed you?"

"Ooh.. I want one" - Bex They're not puppies." -Cammie"

"Number of empty Ben & Jerry's containers: 3 -- two mint chocolate cookie, one plain vanilla. (Who buys plain vanilla ice cream from Ben & Jerry's, anyway? Is there a greater waste?)"

"Not knowing you can't do something, is sometimes all it takes to do it."
