How did you get so scratched up then, Emlynn?” He looked at me uncertainly again. I felt wildly like laughing. Too many swooping highs and plummeting lows. What a weird fewdays. Weird being a massive understatement.“ Cr- Crawling through gorse bushes.” I took a perverse delight in answering his questions in a way that told him nothing at all. I’d never paid much attention to boys before. Maybe Grace was onto something after all.“ Crawling through gorse, ” he repeated. “Part of your action-girl antics, no doubt?”“ N-no doubt.” I smirked again. J.A. Ironside
About This Quote

Action-girl antics is a phrase used to describe the actions of women who are willing to jump into dangerous situations despite being aware of how they might be hurt or killed. Action-girls will play football without a shirt so that they can feel the wind on their bare skin. Action-girls will climb up mountains whether there are trails or not. Action-girls are also known as thrill-seekers because they do not fear danger and are willing to risk life and limb for the sake of excitement. It is common for action-girls to be described as reckless because they do not think about the consequences of their actions.
