What is it with you today?” says Christina on the way to breakfast. Her eyes are stillswollen from sleep and her tangled hair forms a fuzzy halo around her face.“ Oh, you know, ” I say. “Sun shining. Birds chirping.” She raises an eyebrow at me, as if reminding me that we are in an undergroundtunnel. Veronica Roth
About This Quote

Christina asks me what is wrong with me today while we are walking to breakfast. I say that the sun is shining and birds are chirping to which she replies, “Oh, you know”. She reminds me that it is morning and the sun is shining which implies that something must be wrong. She could also be asking me this to make sure I am not having a mental breakdown.
