“Sometimes you don’t see the ball coming,
It spins right by you.”
Reem Faruqi, Call Me Adnan

“Losing makes me feel awful. Losing makes me want to hide under the table to never feel this way again.”
Reem Faruqi, Call Me Adnan

“When I get mad,
I am not like
the water in a rice pot
simmering slow.
I am calm
calm
calm
and then I explode.
I am a teakettle
waiting to scream.
-Nurah”
