Crushed — Laura McNeal; Tom McNeal

Three little maids from school are we,
Pert as a schoolgirl well can be
Filled to the brim with girlish glee...

Audrey and her best friends Lea and C.C. have just arrived at Jemison High from the one-room private school where they spent grades six through ten, where they performed Gilbert and Sullivan musicals, where they adored Edith Wharton. They're a nerdy little trio, so everyone is shocked when the handsome new guy, Wickham Hill, asks Audrey out.

Audrey is soon so smitten that she doesn't pay enough attention to The Yellow Paper, a vicious underground newspaper at school. Or to that lurking guy in World Cultures, who stares. Or to Theo Driggs, with his wide mean streak. But before long, The Yellow Paper threatens to tell a tale that will change everything. And when Audrey goes looking for the truth, she finds some unexpected allies--and enemies.
