Laura Harrington Alice Bliss
She smoothes the front of the dress, looking down at her hands, at her bitten fingernails, at her big feet in the pointy-toe shoes. This is a woman's dress, she thinks, a young woman's dress. It is not a girl's dress. It is solidly on the other side of the line outside of girlhood. It is a dress that says something big in a very quiet way; it is a dress that is talking to Alice right now, a dress that is making her feel possibilities never before considered, the possibility of perfume and pretty and dancing and boys. This dress is who she might be, only more so.

Tim Tharp The Spectacular...
Goodbye. Goodbye. I can't feel you anymore. The night is almost too beautifully pure for my soul to contain. I walk with my arms spread open under the big fat moon.

Goodbye, I say, goodbye, as I disappear little by little into the middle of the middle of my own spectacular now.

Haruki Murakami

"I'm Razo, a member of Bayern's Own," he said, stopping himself from adding "Loafing is just a hobby of mine." "Bayern's Own? But you're a child." Razo looked up to the sky. "I'm not a child, I'm just short."

Tammara Webber Easy
He looked up and caught me staring, and for the first time that morning, neither of us looked away until Erin said, "J - pay attention! Just try to slap me." I broke the stare and turned to her. She moved around to face me, her back to Lucas, and rolled her eyes. "Does the concept of playing hard-to-get totally escape you?" she whispered. "Let. Him. Chase." "I'm not playing that game any longer." She glanced over her shoulder and back. "Girlfriend, I don't think he knows that." I shrugged.

Maria V. Snyder Inside Out
I reached 1400 weeks, the age of maturity. The age when you were no longer considered a child. It was when you became a scrub and the reality of what the rest of your life would be like became suddenly and brutally apparent. The old-timers called it sweet sixteen, but there wasn't anything sweet about it. I

Nice dress Zoey. It looks just like mine. Oh, wait! It used to be mine. Aphrodite laughed a throaty, I'm - so - grown - and - you're - just - a - kid laugh. I really hate it when girls do that. I mean, yes, she's older, but I have boobs, too.
