“Sarah Nan takes me by the wrist and pulls me away. 'Lizzie, you were talking to a boy!'
'It's no big deal,' I tell her. Maybe it was--because it didn't feel like talking to a boy. It felt like talking to a person.”

"You like watching aviation disaster documentaries too," I say blandly, hiking up my backpack on one shoulder.”

“Asexual. The prefix 'a-' means 'not.' Hasn't my life always been about what I'm not? Not pretty, not athletic, not interested, not ready--but now here's this word that tells me that what I am not is actually what I am. Something--I'm something.”

“Running isn't me. This body also isn't me. It's a bunch of skin and fat and skeleton carrying around the real me, my brain or my spirit or whatever it is that makes Lizzie. Sometimes I think it was a mistake that I wound up in this body--maybe even a mistake that I wound up being human. Maybe I was supposed to be a tree. Tall, steady, solitary, wise. Watching the rest of the world run.”
