Chapter 33:
"Your definition of human is not the same as mine. To you, it means something...negative. To me, it's a compliment--and by my definition, you are and he isn't. Not after this." Wanda does not want to admit that Kyle tried to kill her, because she knows that will cause him to either by thrown out, or killed himself. It is part of Jeb's rules, and Kyle knew this. A lot of people assume that just because 1 member of a group/species acts in a certain way, ALL members of that group/species acts the same way. You see that especially in relationships. "All guys are jerks." "All girls are bitches." That is called stereotyping, and it frowned upon in...some places. Isa, I know you have been in some crappy relationships, but I promise you that there is someone out there who is really going to love you. He's just somewhere in Europe, and you two haven't met yet.
Chapter 34:
Kyle was brought into the hospital wing unconscious. Wanda is still in there, Ian is trying to find her a place to stay. Jared is going to protect her from Kyle. Kyle is awake now, and is upset that Wanda didn't fall (Kyle is still calling her "it"). I will now share with you one of the few funny passages in the book--
Jared lunged forward, away from me. With a loud smacking sound, his fist hit Kyle's face. Kyle's eyes rolled back in his head, and his mouth fell slack. The room was very quiet for a few seconds. "Um," Doc said in a mild voice, "medically speaking, I'm not sure that was the most helpful thing for his condition." "But I feel better," Jared answered, sullen. Doc smiled the tiniest smile. "Well, maybe a few more minutes of unconsciousness won't kill him."
Then we get to a bit of bickering between Wanda and Jared. Love it!
"This was human mourning, not mine. But I did mourn."
