The Book Of Matthew (The Alex Chronicles Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
We were in the park, about a mile from the university where we were both freshmen. I sat in the front seat of his Honda Civic, staring out the window, thinking that I should be in my dorm room studying for finals. Or better yet, I should be asleep. The back seat was filled with guitars and speaker amplifiers. Dozens of feet of thick, black cable snaked through the car—in the back seat, on the dash, at our feet. Through the fogged glass I caught a glimpse of the neon No After Dark Trespassing sign. I saw it when we first pulled into the park and it seemed to glow as a silent warning that we were about to break the law. But now it didn’t shine as brightly, as if it knew it had failed to do its job. I felt a twinge in my side and realized that during our hasty lovemaking the seatbelt hook had bruised my hip. By morning the mark was round and angry and purplish black, about the size of a half-dollar. In the light of that new day I stood naked before a mirror, staring at the bruise, wondering why I had chosen a boy instead of books.
