Quote from Sue in Back to Summer
Brick: "Axl called Sue a big tomato 'cause of her dorky red shirt." Sue: Oh, my God. You remember I was wearing red? Brick: Like I said, on days without books, my recall is very good. Sue: If I was wearing red, it means I went to the orthodontist, 'cause I'm a gum-bleeder and red hides the gum blood. So I must have been late to school, and they must have gotten mixed up and marked me as absent! All I need is a note from the orthodontist, and I'm in!
