Josh: St. Clair and Anna are one of those couples that seem like they were made for each other. Instant friendship, instant chemistry. He was obsessed with her from the moment they met. She was the only thing he ever wanted to talk about. Still is, actually.

Love can be so strange and sad. It can be hard to understand why we run toward certain people and away from others at different times in our lives. Why we search so hard for that thing we are looking for, and then run so fast when we find it.

Hay algo respecto a los ojos azules. El tipo de azul que te sorprende cada vez que es'tan viendo en tu direccion. El tipo de azul que te provoca dolor deseando que te miren de nevo. No azul verde o azul gris, el azul que es solo azul.

I wanted to go. It was my decision, too. I love you. I have always loved you. Josh: What do you mean? Always? Isla: I mean that you never have to worry about me leaving you, because I've been in love with you since our freshman year. There's no ..

Anna: But... Etienne: The first day of school. We weren't physics partners by accident.
