Mixed-up romance . . .
As Valentine's Day approaches, everyone at Sweet Valley Middle School is pairing up for the first dance of the year. Elizabeth Wakefield has been asked by smart and serious Todd Wilkins, and her twin sister, Jessica, is going with wild and funny Aaron Dallas. The twins and their friends are sure it's going to be the most romantic night ever.
But when they get to the dance, everyone seems to go a little crazy. Jessica abandons Aaron to dance song after song with Bruce Patman. And devious Veronica Brooks goes after Todd, leaving Elizabeth with no one to dance with - except Aaron! Romance is in the air all right, but will these mixed-up couples ever get straightened out again?
A secret kiss . . .
"I'd rather be out here in the hall than in there," Aaron said. "It's pretty humiliating to stand alone by the refreshment table while your date dances with somebody else. I guess we're both in the same boat."
Elizabeth nodded dejectedly.
Aaron stood up. "Let's pretend we're each other's date for this last dance. That way we won't have to worry about what Todd and Jessica are doing." He held out his arms.
"OK." Elizabeth smiled. She put her arms around Aaron and they slow-danced to the romantic song coming from the gym.
"I really like this song," Aaron whispered. "Thanks for dancing with me."
Elizabeth looked up at Aaron. He was really sweet. And he was cute and charming, too. How could Jessica dump a great guy like Aaron to dance with Bruce patman?
Suddenly Aaron's face was very close to hers. The next thing she knew, Aaron kissed her, very softly - right on the lips!
How will Veronice get her revenge? Jessica the Thief
