Girls Feel Quote by Ellen Hopkins
““Girls get screwed. What I mean is, they're always on the short end of things. The way things work, how guys feel great, but make girls feel cheap for doing exactly what they beg for. The way they get to play you, all the while claiming they love you and making you believe it's true.””
