Excerpt: So she lets her heart pound and she swallows hard and she's up and out of the chair.

Tina isn't good at first moves. She hates going first in anything. When she was in the first grade and there were no kids with A or B last names, she cried. She avoids to the point of faking a stutter.

But she really likes Artie, more than she's ever liked anyone. She can picture pushing him around for the rest of her life... if she can ever press past her nerves and admit to him that she likes him at all. She thinks, maybe, from the way he looks at her, that he likes her too.

So she lets her heart pound and she swallows hard and she's up and out of the chair. She almost stumbles from the sudden transition but there's nowhere to go but forward.

She kisses him.

It's as great as she imagined, all this time, and the best part is that he's kissing her back.
