So I hear we get to go to town this weekend. Want to catch a movie or something?-- Z P. S. That is, if Jimmy doesn't mind. Translation: This weekend might be a good chance for us to see each other outside our school in a social environment, free of competetiton. I do not view other boys as threats, and I enjoy making them seem insignificant by calling them the wrong names. (Translation by Macey McHenry). Ally Carter
About This Quote

When you are on the playground, there are two things that you can do. You can play with your friends, or you can try to get the attention of the other boys on the playground. I was always known for being one of the more popular boys on school playgrounds. I had lots of friends and I didn't mind playing with them.

However, I also knew that there were some boys who had it easier than others. They always had girls on their team, while my team would be made up of all guys. Sometimes they would even be able to play with girls who weren't on their team.

I would never get that chance to impress a girl with my athletic talent because I was always focused on proving myself to the boys who were better than me at sports.
