If This is Wrong by K.L. Platt
Summary: As children, Thomas and Caleb formed an unlikely friendship, which has continued through tragedies and celebrations and into manhood. They have grown together over the years, but now their relationship is changing into something more. Can their bond survive the challenges that life will bring them? Is it wrong to risk everything for the chance of something more?
Excerpt
“Why would you say that? I’m here ‘cause you’re my friend. It’s not like you did it on purpose.” Thomas couldn’t look at his friend. What would he think if he knew he had kind of done it on purpose? All he had wanted to do was get muddy so he could change his stupid clothes; now he had spoiled everything.
“Tommy?”
Caleb enquired.
“I’m
sorry, it’s all my fault; I just didn’t want you to see me like this.” He
winced, pulling on his now dusty clothes.
Caleb
didn’t understand what Thomas was saying. See him like what? “Tommy?”
“Look at
me, Caleb, I’m dressed like I’m going to church, not a picnic. I want to be in
jean shorts, like you, and baseball shirts,” he whispered, so his father
couldn’t hear him. “I don’t want this stupid Brylcreem in my hair...I want it
messy.” Thomas slammed his good hand onto the car seat, sending a shockwave
through his injured one.
“Tommy, I
don’t care what you wear. I’m not your friend for your dress sense; I’m your
friend because you're funny and smart.” Caleb looked towards Benjamin and he
swore he saw his mouth turn up at the corner.
Two hours
later, they arrived at the park, with Thomas sporting a very smart blue cast on
his arm. His father hadn’t argued when he was asked whether he wanted a plain
one or a coloured one. Polly fussed over her son, saying she wished they had
indeed used a plain one. Benjamin winked at his son and they laughed.

K.L. Platt lives with her family in the Devonshire countryside in the
UK. She is a nanny, but her dream is to be a full time author. She can’t
remember a time when she didn’t have a pencil, pen, or book in her hand. It
was, however, the likes of J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer who gave her the
fire to drive herself to where she is today.
Always encouraged to follow her dream by her parents and
grandparents, her grandma told her, “If you believe you can do it, then you
can.” Her uncle was also a writer but sadly never got to have any of his
stories published.
