“After our date on Monday, I put the heart-eyes emoji next to his name in my contacts. I mean, the boy brought me flowers and a Storm comic, and since we didn’t have time to stay for dessert at the restaurant, he brought me
a small pack of Chips Ahoy! to eat on the way back to school. He earned those heart eyes. He just sent a couple of texts to guarantee that he keeps them.

Do your thing tonight, Princess. Wish I could be there. I probably couldn’t pay attention to your song tho I’d be staring at you too hard

Corny? Yes. But it gets a smile out of me.
Before I can respond, though, he adds:

I’d be staring at that ass too but you know I probably ain’t supposed to admit that.

I smirk.

Why you admitting it now then?

His answer?

Cause I bet it made you smile

Just for that, I’m adding a second heart-eyes emoji to his name.”
― Angie Thomas, On the Come Up

“For many thousands of years, humans used pictures to communicate their deepest emotions/fears/values. During the prehistoric era, they painted on the walls of caves. In later years, they framed their paintings and hung them in museums. They used pictures to tell stories, to entertain, to educate, to advertise. Eventually, humans discovered their most effective method of communicating through pictures: The emoji.”
― Lee Bacon, The Last Human

“I'm not sure why you gave me such a personal book if you cared about it so much."
Isabella's fuse, famously long, now blew in an instant.
"I gave it to you... because I thought that maybe, somewhere, inside of you... there was the tiniest semblance of a soul."
Isabella's cheeks were bright red, as was her neck, as hot tears filled her eyes.
"What did you say?"
"I thought that maybe... maybe beneath all of the... all of the hair products and the lip gloss and the eye shadow," said Isabella, her voice shaking, along with her hands, "there was an actual human being inside of you. But... there's nothing human about you."
The look on Molly's face was one of both shock and awe at the fury stirred up in Isabella.
"You're just... an empty vessel. You're all exterior. And you'll never write a great cookbook or do anything great in your life, because... because whatever part of you was human, whatever part of you existed that could connect with other people, is gone and it's all been replaced by... by... Botox."
Isabella put her mug down and headed for the door. Molly, too stunned to speak, watched her.
As Isabella pulled open the handle, she turned back one last time:
"Good luck with the cookbook. You can delete me from your phone. I'm going to keep you in mine and change your name to an emoji, just like you did with me. Only your emoji is going to be... it's going to be a smiling piece of shit!”
