Hate List
Jennifer Brown

pg165

"This may sound stupid, but I think I was embarrassed. You know, like when you're a little kid and your mom or dad yells at you in front of your friends, and you feel really humiliated, like your friends had just seen something really private about you and it totally takes way from the 'got it under control' persona you're trying to project into this world. It was like that, only times a billion or something."
