Citas de Jonah Griggs

• Jonah Griggs. No es sólo un nombre, sino un estado de ánimo que no quiero volver a vivir, aunque lo guardo en la memoria para cuando me ilusiono con algo. Así puedo darme una bofetada de realidad y recordarme lo que ocurre cuando dejas que alguien entre en tu espacio sagrado. Jonah Griggs es mi segundo recordatorio de que nunca jamás debo confiar en otro ser humano. Mi madre fue el primero.

• The next night he asked Jonah if he could take $9.49 out of Jonah's secret stash that only Danny and his mum and Jack knew about. Jonah kept it in his sock drawer next to a photograph of Jonah and a girl with sad eyes, taken in one of those railway station photo booths.

• Estas personas tienen historia y yo anhelo la historia. Ansío que alguien me conozca tan bien que sepa lo que estoy pensando. Jonah Griggs me coge la mano por debajo de la mesa y enlaza mis dedos con los suyos y sé que sacrificaría casi cualquier cosa con tal de mantener este estado de ánimo, al menos durante el resto de la semana.

• Don't you ever touch my car again," Santangelo says with the same fury he had on his face when Jonah Griggs made comments about his mother. Raffy touches the car with her finger in a very dramatic way. "You've just made our hit list," he says, getting a hanky out of his pocket and cleaning off some imaginary mark.

• El empollón jefe de los cadetes es mi compañero y cuando acaba me pide mi número. Me siento muy halagada y él parece un poco cabizbajo cuando le digo que no. "Es porque aquí no tienen cobertura", le dice Griggs. "No", digo, mirando a Griggs. "En realidad es porque mi corazón pertenece a otra persona". Y si pudiera embotellar la expresión de su cara, la guardaría junto a mi cama el resto de mi vida.

• What happens when she's not my memory anymore? What happens when she's not around to tell me about his belt leaving scars across my two-year-old brother's face or when he whacked her so hard that she lost her hearing for a week? Who'll be my memory?" Santangelo doesn't miss a beat. "I will. Ring me." "Same," Raffy says. I look at him. I can't even speak because if I do I know I'll cry but I smile and he knows what I'm thinking.

• Between now and when we graduate next year there are at least ten weeks' holiday and five random public holidays. There's email and if you manage to get down to the town, there's text messaging and mobile phone calls. If not, the five minutes you get to speak to me on your communal phone is better than nothing. There are the chess nerds who want to invite you to our school for the chess comp next March and there's this town in the middle, planned by Walter Burley Griffin, where we can meet up and protest against our government's refusal to sign the Kyoto treaty." -Jonah Griggs
