Crush — Jeff Gottesfeld

It's a funny thing about time. The proverb, “Time heals all wounds,” is true to some extent. But Jayson still hurts. Maybe Ronette doesn't want time to heal this wound. It feels better fresh. Jayson thought she'd change her mind over break. But Ronette is firm. She's alone, finally. Except she's not. “Hey, Houseman girl.” This brother has the warmest, friendliest face Ronette has ever seen. The rest, as they say, is history. Ronette Bradley hasn't exactly been an ideal student. Certainly she's no overachiever. But she's caught a lucky break. And she's determined not to screw up.
