Bookworm! That?s what the kids called her , and until recently, Elizabeth Ellen, E.E. to her friends, hadn?t really minded. But now she was a senior in high school and she was getting tired of only being seen as the class brain , while all the other girls were having fun dating. Oh, she?d tried dating once, but when she?d found out that Tom had only asked her out to help with his homework, she was so mad , she?d sworn off boys for good. Then she met handsome Bruce Johnson, the new guy in her physics class. She was glad Bruce was in her class, yet when he asked her out, E.E. was afraid he?d end up being just another Tom. Not wanting to be hurt again, she turned him down without even giving him a chance to prove he was different. And it wasn?t until she realized that though she was bright in school, she had a lot to learn about people, that E.E. discovered a boy could just like her for herself.
