“Dad turned to Kurt. "You must be the boy I keep hearing about."
"I guess so," Kurt said.
"Well, Kurt," Dad said, "just remember that I specialize in tying things to rockets and sending them into space. And sometimes they accidentally blow up."
"Dad."
"You'll have no reason to kill me, sir."
"Kurt. You make sure she doesn't cry, okay?"
Dad smiled happily at Kurt and then sagely at me.”

“You can't have a heart attack and leave me an orphan. You know I'd just blow all our money on drugs and rock'n'roll."
"All the best heroes are orphans," Dad said. "You'd be in good company, if you went on a quest or something." He looked at the other girls. "You're not orphans, are you?"

“And her dad’s a drunk,” Lewis added. “Like, slobbering, fall-down, filthy drunk.” “Just like you,” Aubrey yelled, knowing they couldn’t hear her. She felt tears welling up in her eyes but fought them off. “So what?” Thomas said. “Like I said, she’s hot. Didn’t you see her tonight?” Scott shook his head. “Nicole must have bought the dress. I think she buys all of Aubrey’s clothes now.” That wasn’t true, but Aubrey hated the real answer even more. She didn’t want to think about it. Nate smiled wryly. “Aubrey may be poor, but she makes up for it in other ways.” The group burst into laughter, and Aubrey ran forward, right in front of Nate. “I do not!” she screamed. “That’s a lie, you pig!” Maybe it was stupid and risky, but at that moment she didn’t care: she jumped at Nate, both hands slamming into his chest. Partly from being unprepared and partly because of the alcohol, he tumbled off the low wall and into a patch of flowers. The open bottle lay on his shirt, spilling its contents onto his chest. The other boys howled in delight as he struggled to get up, and Aubrey took a pleased step back. Aubrey’s invisibility wasn’t like the movies.

Instead, people simply didn’t notice her. She could yell, or slap, or punch, and no one would detect it. They’d feel the punch—like Nate had—but they wouldn’t recognize it for what it was. They’d think they’d slipped,”
