Question | Answer |
---|---|
converge | join together, They gathered together, blocking me from view as they converged. |
hysterics | a very emotional reaction, My mom was in hysterics, of course. I had to tell her I felt fine at least thirty times before she would calm down. |
chagrin | embarrassment, I wondered to myself why no one else had seen him standing so far away, before he was suddenly, impossibly saving my life. With chagrin, I realized the probable cause â no one else was as aware of Edward as I always was. |
tenor | tone/singing voice, Despite my outright lies, the tenor of my e-mails alerted Renée to my depression, and she called a few times, worried. |
broach | talk about/mention, Mike was still quiet as he walked me to class, the uncomfortable look on his face a bad sign. But he didn't broach the subject until I was in my seat and he was perched on my desk. |
floundered | struggled uncomfortably, "That's great." I made my voice bright and enthusiastic. "You'll have a lot of fun with Jessica." "Wellâ¦" He floundered as he examined my smile, clearly not happy with my response. "I told her I had to think about it." |
reflexively | unconsciously åå°ç, I paused for a moment, hating the wave of guilt that swept through me.But I saw, from the corner of my eye, Edward's head tilt reflexively in my direction. |
dejected | sad, "Yeah, you're right," he mumbled, and turned, dejected, to walk back to his seat. I closed my eyes and pressed my fingers to my temples, trying to push the guilt and sympathy out of my head. |
pathetic | pitiful, I couldn't allow him to have this level of influence over me. It was pathetic. More than pathetic, it was unhealthy. |
petulance | bad and quick temper, "What? Are you speaking to me again?" I finally asked, an unintentional note of petulance in my voice. |
coherently | in a clear and consistent way,"Then what do you want, Edward?" I asked, keeping my eyes closed; it was easier to talk to him coherently that way. |
jubilant | very happy, It was Jessica, and she was jubilant; Mike had caught her after school to accept her invitation. |
purgatory | a place of misery ç ç, I would leave him alone. I would get through my self-imposed sentence here in purgatory, and then hopefully some school in the Southwest, or possibly Hawaii, would offer me a scholarship. |
muted | quiet, "Bella, it's not my fault if you are exceptionally unobservant." His voice was quiet as usual â velvet, muted. |
wheeling | turning quickly, "Are you trying to be funny?" I interrupted him, wheeling toward him. My face got drenched as I looked up at his expression. |
enunciated | pronounced clearly 表æ, "Myself, obviously." He enunciated every syllable, as if he were talking to someone mentally handicapped. |
