Crush, Stories
By: Ellen Conford
They say: ''A collection of interrelated stories about selected students in room 202. Issues of peer pressure, self-esteem, respect, alienation, greed, and heartbreak are examined as they hope to celebrate Valentine's Day at the ''Sweetheart Stomp.''
I say: I'm only going to tell you about one of the stories, and you can read the rest. This one is about a guy and a girl. Like every couple, there's one thing that drives them nuts about each other. The guy drives the girl crazy because he has long hair, and she drives him crazy because of her obsession with her nails. For their Valentine's gifts, he gives her stuff for her nails and she gives him stuff for his hair. Turns out, she clipped her nails for him, and he cut his hair for her.
