Selections From My Forthcoming Novel About Teenagers in Love, Romance And Hair Spray (Or How I Almost Failed High School)
by Nicholas Moore

"She often thought back about that summer. It was all so much like an 80's movie-- the big hair, the high school cliques, her wacky best friend... That time she fucked John Cusack..."
--(pg. 23)

"The kiss began in the lunch room, beneath the blue hues of education. It began there, at that High School lunch table, like the plank on God's own pirate ship. And, as memory would have it, it lasted all day long, and was still happening in Stacy's bed, on the last night that her parents were out of town. Brian was on Stacy, and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" was on the radio. Also on the radio: Stacy's underwear."
--(pg. 76)

"And so ends Stacy's sordid tale, there on the dance floor's edge. Not because somebody died. Not because anybody graduated High School. But because I am sick of wondering if Brian and Stacy really love each other. And also, the pizza I ordered just got here."
--(pg. 145)
