Rhythm & Clues: A Young Adult Novel - Plot & Excerpts
Even though he’d been standing up to his parents more since dinner two weeks ago, I still didn’t think his parents would withdraw their stance on rock & roll. But much like the way I temporarily dyed my hair when I met Gavin’s parents, I couldn’t exactly show up to pick him up in my steaming turd of a car. Even with its dents and scratches, Krystal’s car was still more presentable than my own. So I sucked in a deep breath and pushed inside the diner where she worked the lunch shift. “Can I switch cars with you?” I asked Krystal in lieu of a hello. She wiped her hands on her apron, her platinum blonde hair twisted up into a messy bun. She wore only mascara during the day, probably so her face would remain a blank canvas before she painted it for her night job. “I’d rather you didn’t. The insurance is about to run out, and your car is already a safety hazard, what with your bumper falling off.” I swallowed hard, nodding. It was a long shot to ask. I braced for her to yell at me for even bringing up the subject.
