I don’t want any of this. I just want to be what I was before you showed up here and all hell broke loose. I want to be popular and dating the hottest guy in school. Now I’m none of those things, and I’m a human who has scary visions and don’t know what to do about any of it. Kristin Cast
About This Quote

This quote is a great example of how our society rewards those who are popular and nice. In this instance, the character is complaining that she has lost her popularity and now she is just a normal human being. Why do we have to be so mean? It’s sad that the girl feels that she has to be mean just to be human.
