Skye shrugged, giving her a quick once-over. "Xander's into girls like Star-you know, the sweet, all-American, homecoming queen types. You're... well, not that."

"Besides, everyone in Oakridge knows your temper. Seriously, what guy would willingly sign up for that?"

"I mean, the way you went after Dan? I'd bet not just Xander—anyone who knows you would keep their distance."
