He Loves Me Not — Caroline B. Cooney

Alison has never had a boyfriend - or even a date!
But Alison's friends think she leads a glamorous life. She plays piano with a band and spends her weekends performing at parties and dances, staying out late, wearing fancy clothes.

But Alison's work is hard and tiring. She has no time for anything except school and work. How she would love to go on a date!

When she meets Ted it looks like an impossible relationship. Ted is just as busy as she is. And they don't even go to the same school. Still - he asks for Alison's number. Alison begins to hope that maybe, just maybe, her life is going to change.
