Summary
This was a different sort of kissing than he was used to. In the past, their kisses had been gentle or exploratory or sweet. This did not feel like that. Evangeline’s kiss had felt hungry.
He was not especially hungry, but he could eat.
You made a skirt from an old tablecloth and when we kissed you said my face felt scratchy. So while you were at work, I shaved my beard off and when you came home, we kissed and kissed, like we hadn't kissed for weeks even though it was only a couple of hours.

Summary
Every day of high school was much the same: boring and pointless. The only difference was how unbearable it was, and Jonny found that today was particularly unbearable.
Come on, just take my hand, baby, let's go, we'll / We'll run away with nothin' but our love to show / We'll dance in the street with mud on our knees / And show the world we're everything they wish to be / But nothing that they want to see

Summary
Jonny Vangelis had just finished his fourth glass of bourbon when the cop showed up. This maybe would've been fine if he hadn't been eighteen years old and incapable of minding his own business.
I don't like that when they threw me in the car I gave your name as my emergency phone call. Honey, it rang and rang: even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up.
