The Perpetual Motion Club (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Northawken High had rejected the notion of a perpetual motion club. Jason Bridges, the light of the world, had been arrested for his brother’s murder. Jimmy had joined the anti-Rifs. Everything Elsa Webb held dear was broken. She existed on a steady diet of Jetstream and iHigh as she contemplated the misery of existence. The problem of the failed bid for a sanction faded to the background, as her thoughts turned to Jason. He was not from a wealthy family and although the coach helped with legal fees, Jason soon ran into monumental problems due to the economic restrictions of his birth. In a land prone to viewing inhabitants as guilty until innocence is proven, and without a lot of money to prove his innocence, everyone believed Jason had done the deed. He was suspended from the team. Colleges withdrew full ride athletic scholarships. Since he had no academic achievement to speak of, it soon became obvious Jason Bridge’s post-high-school career was doomed. He was in school, out on bail, but no longer playing sports.
