“Of course not.” Bod said, “This is my home. Why would I want them hanging around here for the rest of time?” Then, “Look, it’s okay. I dealt with them”
Scarlett took a step away from him. She said, “You aren’t a person. People don’t behave like you. You’re as bad as he was. You’re a monster”
Bod stared at Scarlett as she walk away, hoping that she would turn and look back, that she would smile or just look at him without fear in her eyes. But Scarlett did not turn. She simply walked away.
Silas returned to the graveyard and found Bod sitting in the amphitheater by the obelisk, his face set.
“I took her memories,” said Silas “They will return to Glasgow. She has friends there”
“How could you make her forget me?”
Silas said, “People want to forget the impossible. It makes their world safe.
Bod said, “I liked her”
The wind that blew across the graveyard was cold, but neither the man nor the boy seemed to feel it.

Been reading "THE GRAVEYARD BOOK" this week between organic chemistry, the whole club of nemathelminthes, cursing Aristoteles and Bohr, and L=6.02 x 10^23 (or something, nah, don't care). The level of stress is really high that I can't care or feel anything anymore, than to just GET IT DONE. to be precise, DONE RIGHT. and DONE GOOD. So far, my predictions for my try-outs seems too sober that I prefer reading a book about a boy living in a graveyard.
Anyway, the book is good, I mean, GOOD. That I can't dare to read the last chapter because well, it always saddening to finish a good book. Almost like saying farewell after hours talking to a very fine stranger and knowing you won't met him anymore. Ahahaha whaaat? seriously I'm getting over-dramatic lately. Btw, yeah, so I won't post often these months, probably till June. Sorry, readers, if I have one, but I really need to pass SNMPTN, or not the whole world will crumble :p but yeah, I do post sometimes, so, be around.
Dear darling, yes you do have somebody who reads your blooog... *hugz bina*
