Close your eyes Quote by Ellen Hopkins
““So you sit and smile, pretending like it's not even fazing you, not touching you at all. So he looks you in the eye, trying to measure you, find a hint of reaction. And he says, Tell me how you feel. So you can't stand it one more second, and you close your eyes, daring him to kiss you. So he does, and it's electric, high voltage, stun-gun strength desire jolting sinew and bone.””
