The Trouble with Firsts

From the co-author of The Geek Girl's Guide to Cheerleading comes two short stories about first dates, prom, and other disasters.

The Trouble with Firsts: From roller-coaster rides to playing in a string quartet, Mattie's had trouble with first times. But with prom right around the corner, she'll risk asking Marcus out first. If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, then the path to prom is strewn with crepe paper streamers and petals from dying corsages. And Mattie will discover her trouble with firsts is just beginning.

Speechless: Jared's the boy who coaches her and kisses her, but doesn't want to be seen with her. For Kara, speech team is simply a way to beef up her extra-curriculars and spend time with the dead-sexy class clown. But now she's caught in a game that everyone wants to win--everyone except maybe Jared.
