Ah, the signs of two people becoming BFFs. Whenever something funny or interesting happens while you're with your friends, it's hard not to take a look at your best friend to see his or her reaction. It's more fun to laugh together than to laugh alone.
Quote #3

Thomas thinks this in the middle of the book—you know, after he has found out Teresa is "The Betrayer." You'd think he would put aside his friendship with Teresa for maybe a second, but because of his experience in the Maze, he simply can't. Romance can do some crazy things to friendships.
