Secret identity . . .

Denise Hadley is poised, elegant, and beautiful. Her best friend, Ginny Belasca, isn't any of these things, and she's always comparing herself to Denise. So when Ginny decides to do volunteer work for a teen phone hot line, Denise hopes that it will give Ginny some self-confidence. It looks as if she's right when Ginny helps a guy named Mike, who says he wants to meet her in person!
But now Ginny's terrified that her looks won't meet Mike's expectations. In desperation, she asks Denise to meet Mike in her place. Denise agrees - and falls for Mike. Can Denise and Ginny's friendship survive a battle for the boy they both love?

"Listen, Ginny," Mike said, sounding shy and uncertain. "Can we meet sometime? I want to thank you in person."
A dozen wild thoughts clamoured in Ginny's mind: Phone counsellors weren't supposed to meet the callers; she wanted to meet Mike; she didn't want him to see that she wasn't pretty; she wanted him to go on thinking she was pretty; she didn't know what she wanted!
"It's against the rules," she finally managed to say.
"Ginny, come on, we're friends," Mike pressed. "Please."
Mike's voice was so warm and sincere that Ginny felt her resolve weakening. "OK," she whispered. "Just once."
He let out a whoop of triumph. "Great! How about Saturday? Somewhere in Sweet Valley?"
"How about at Casey's Ice cream Parlor at three?" Ginny suggested. "I'll wear a green sweater."
"I'll know you, don't worry," Mike said with a laugh. "I'll just look for the prettiest girl in the place!"
Ginny's heart sank. "Wait-"
"See you on Saturday. Bye." Mike hung up.
Ginny took off her headset and covered her eyes with her hands. What had she done? As soon as Mike met her, he'd see what a mistake he'd made. That would be the end of their relationship, such as it was. If only he could just keep calling her on the phone, wothout ever knowing that she was just plain old mousy Ginny . . .
