Notice anybody enough to like them

"They don't notice anybody enough to like them"

What does it mean? Are 'they' and them' the same person?


"I don't think he likes me," I confided. I still felt queasy. I put my head down on my arm.

"The Cullens don't like anybody . . . well, they don't notice anybody enough to like them. But he's still staring at you."
