Whoops.Not a wall.A boy. \"Oof.\" He staggers backward. \"Sorry! I'm so sorry,I didn't know you were there.\" He shakes his head,a little dazed. The first thing I notice is his hair-it's the first thing I notice about everyone. It's dark brown and messy and somehow both long and short at the same time. I think of the Beatles,since I've just seen them in Meredith's room. It's artist hair.Musician hair. I-pretend-I-don't-care-but-I-really-do-hair. Beautiful hair. \"It's okay,I didn't see you either. Are you all right,then?\" Oh my.He's English. \"Er.Does Mer live here?\" Seriously,I don't know any American girl who can resist an English accent. The boy clears his throat. \"Meredith Chevalier? Tall girl? Big,curly hair?\" Then he looks at me like I'm crazy or half deaf,like my Nanna Oliphant. Nanna just smiles and shakes her head whenever I ask, \"What kind of salad dressing would you like?\" or \"Where did you put Granddad's false teeth?\" \"I'm sorry.\" He takes the smallest step away from me. \"You were going to bed.\" \"Yes! Meredith lives there.I've just spent two hours with her.\" I announce this proudly like my brother, Seany, whenever he finds something disgusting in the yard. \"I'm Anna! I'm new here!\" Oh God. What.Is with.The scary enthusiasm? My cheeks catch fire, and it's all so humiliating. The beautiful boy gives an amused grin. His teeth are lovely-straight on top and crooked on the bottom,with a touch of overbite. I'm a sucker for smiles like this,due to my own lack of orthodontia. I have a gap between my front teeth the size of a raisin. \"Etienne,\" he says. \"I live one floor up.\" \"I live here.\" I point dumbly at my room while my mind whirs: French name, English accent, American school. Anna confused. He raps twice on Meredith's door. \"Well. I'll see you around then, Anna.\" Eh-t-yen says my name like this: Ah-na. My heart thump thump thumps in my chest. ”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Stephanie Perkins" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/stephanie-perkins/see-you-at-breakfast-yeah-see-ya-i-try-to-say-this-casually-but-i-m/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c1c/stephanie-perkins-482_curly-hair_see-you-at-breakfast-yeah-see-ya-i-try-t_577994.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c1c/stephanie-perkins-482_curly-hair_see-you-at-breakfast-yeah-see-ya-i-try-t_577994.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c1c/stephanie-perkins-482_curly-hair_see-you-at-breakfast-yeah-see-ya-i-try-t_577994.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“See you at breakfast?\" \"Yeah.See ya.\" I try to say this casually,but I'm so thrilled that I skip from her…” — Stephanie Perkins", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Hey,508!

I always picture the guys with disgusting bedrooms-mountains of soiled boxer shorts and sweat-stained undershirts,unmade beds with sheets that haven't been changed in weeks, posters of beer bottles and women in neon bikinis,empty soda cans and chip bags,and random bits of model airplanes and discarded video games.s”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Stephanie Perkins" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/stephanie-perkins/hey-508-your-room-is-right-above-mine-you-never-said-st-clair-smiles/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e2d/stephanie-perkins-482_bedrooms_hey-508-your-room-is-right-above-mine-yo_1407076.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e2d/stephanie-perkins-482_bedrooms_hey-508-your-room-is-right-above-mine-yo_1407076.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e2d/stephanie-perkins-482_bedrooms_hey-508-your-room-is-right-above-mine-yo_1407076.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Hey,508!

You know the rules.No sleeping in opposite-sex rooms.\" My face flames,and St. Clair's cheeks grow blotchy. It's true.It's a rule. One that my brain-my rule-loving, rule-abiding brain-conveniently blocked last night. It's also one notoriously ignored by the staff. \"No,Nate,\" we say. He shakes his shaved head and goes back in his apartment. But the door opens quickly again,and a handful of something is thrown at us before it's slammed back shut. Condoms.Oh my God, how humiliating. St. Clair's entire face is now bright red as he picks the tiny silver squares off the floor and stuffs them into his coat pockets. We don't speak,don't even look at each other,as we climb the stairs to my floor. My pulse quickens with each step.Will he follow me to my room,or has Nate ruined any chance of that? We reach the landing,and St. Clair scratches his head. \"Er...\" \"So...\" \"I'm going to get dressed for bed. Is that all right?\" His voice is serious,and he watches my reaction carefully. \"Yeah.Me too.I'm going to...get ready for bed,too.\" \"See you in a minute?\" I swell with relief. \"Up there or down here?\" \"Trust me,you don't want to sleep in my bed.\" He laughs,and I have to turn my face away,because I do ,holy crap do I ever . But I know what he means.It's true my bed is cleaner. I hurry to my room and throw on the strawberry pajamas and an Atlanta Film Festival shirt. It's not like I plan on seducing him. Like I'd even know how. St. Clair knocks a few minutes later, and he's wearing his white bottoms with the blue stripes again and a black T-shirt with a logo I recognize as the French band he was listening to earlier. I'm having trouble breathing. \"Room service,\" he says. My mind goes...blank. \"Ha ha,\" I say weakly. He smiles and turns off the light. We climb into bed,and it's absolutely positively completely awkward. As usual. I roll over to my edge of the bed. Both of us are stiff and straight, careful not to touch the other person. I must be a masochist to keep putting myself in these situations. I need help. I need to see a shrink or be locked in a padded cell or straitjacketed or something. After what feels like an eternity,St. Clair exhales loudly and shifts. His leg bumps into mine, and I flinch. \"Sorry,\" he says. \"It's okay.\" \"...\" \"...\" \"Anna?\" \"Yeah?\" \"Thanks for letting me sleep here again. Last night...\" The pressure inside my chest is torturous. What? What what what ? \"I haven't slept that well in ages.\" The room is silent.After a moment, I roll back over. I slowly, slowly stretch out my leg until my foot brushes his ankle. His intake of breath is sharp. And then I smile,because I know he can't see my expression through the darkness.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Stephanie Perkins" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/stephanie-perkins/do-i-need-to-check-up-on-you-guys-later-you-know-the-rules-no/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d1/stephanie-perkins-482_film-festival_do-i-need-to-check-up-on-you-guys-later_2592882.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d1/stephanie-perkins-482_film-festival_do-i-need-to-check-up-on-you-guys-later_2592882.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d1/stephanie-perkins-482_film-festival_do-i-need-to-check-up-on-you-guys-later_2592882.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Do I need to check up on you guys later?

Anna,are you there? I've been waiting in the lobby for fifteen minutes.\" A scrambling noise,and St. Clair curses from the floorboards. \"And I see your light's off.Brilliant. Could've mentioned you'd decided to go on without me.\" I explode out of bed. I overslept! I can't believe I overslept! How could this happen? St. Clair's boots clomp away,and his suitcase drags heavily behind him. I throw open my door. Even though they're dimmed this time of night,the crystal sconces in the hall make me blink and shade my eyes. St. Clair twists into focus.He's stunned. \"Anna?\" \"Help,\" I gasp. \"Help me.\" He drops his suitcase and runs to me. \"Are you all right? What happened?\" I pull him in and flick on my light. The room is illuminated in its disheveled entirety. My luggage with its zippers open and clothes piled on top like acrobats. Toiletries scattered around my sink. Bedsheets twined into ropes. And me. Belatedly, I remember that not only is my hair crazy and my face smeared with zit cream,but I'm also wearing matching flannel Batman pajamas. \"No way.\" He's gleeful. \" You slept in? I woke you up?\" I fall to the floor and frantically squish clothes into my suitcase. \"You haven't packed yet?\" \"I was gonna finish this morning! WOULD YOU FREAKING HELP ALREADY?\" I tug on a zipper.It catches a yellow Bat symbol, and I scream in frustration. We're going to miss our flight. We're going to iss it,and it's my fault. And who knows when the next plane will leave, and we'll be stuck here all day, and I'll never make it in time for Bridge and Toph's show. And St. Clair's mom will cry when she has to go to the hospital without him for her first round of internal radiation, because he'll be stuck iin an airport on the other side of the world,and its ALL. MY FAULT. \"Okay,okay.\" He takes the zipper and wiggles it from my pajama bottoms. I make a strange sound between a moan and a squeal. The suitcase finally lets go, and St. Clair rests his arms on my shoulders to steady them. \"Get dressed. Wipe your face off.I'll takecare of the rest.\" Yes,one thing at a time.I can do this. I can do this. ARRRGH! He packs my clothes. Don't think about him touching your underwear. Do NOT think about him touching your underwear. I grab my travel outfit-thankfully laid out the night before-and freeze. \"Um.\" St. Clair looks up and sees me holding my jeans. He sputters. \"I'll, I'll step out-\" \"Turn around.Just turn around, there's not time!\" He quickly turns,and his shoulders hunch low over my suitcase to prove by posture how hard he is Not Looking.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Stephanie Perkins" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/stephanie-perkins/anna-anna-are-you-there-i-ve-been-waiting-in-the-lobby-for-fifteen/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9b3/stephanie-perkins-482_anna_anna-anna-are-you-there-i-ve-been-waitin_2660384.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9b3/stephanie-perkins-482_anna_anna-anna-are-you-there-i-ve-been-waitin_2660384.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9b3/stephanie-perkins-482_anna_anna-anna-are-you-there-i-ve-been-waitin_2660384.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Anna?
