"Itu bukan tentang bagaimana dia terlihat, yang cantik, meskipun dia selalu mengenakan pakaian yang salah dan sepatu kets itu. Itu bukan tentang apa yang dia katakan di kelas - biasanya sesuatu yang tidak akan dipikirkan orang lain, dan jika ada, sesuatu yang tidak berani mereka katakan. Bukannya dia berbeda dari semua gadis lain di Jackson. Itu sudah jelas. Dia membuatku sadar betapa aku sama seperti mereka yang lain, bahkan jika aku ingin berpura-pura tidak."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

It wasn't about how she looked, which was pretty, even though she was always wearing the wrong clothes and those beat-up sneakers. It wasn't about what she said in class--usually something no one else would've thought of, and if they had, something they wouldn't have dared to say. It wasn't that she was different from all the other girls at Jackson. That was obvious. It was that she made me realize how much I was just like the rest of them, even if I wanted to pretend I wasn't.
