For me, an important quote/moment in the reading was "Sometimes we caught sight of tattered knee socks rounding a corner, or came upon them doubled over, shoving books into a cubbyhole, flicking the hair out of their eyes. But it was always the same: their white faces drifting in slow motion past us, while we pretended we hadn't been looking for them at all, that we didn't know they existed." I find this quote disturbing because of the obsession that the boys have with these girls. It makes me wonder if this sort of obsession with them played some part in the suicides that we know come later.
