An excerpt from my teen novel series
I laughed, curled up on the couch, and held the phone close to my ear. "Oooooh, a date? What do you have planned?"

"It's a surprise." David answered coyly.

"Aww, Davy. I LOVE surprises. So, do you want me to dress fancy, or just casual?"

He laughed. "It doesn't matter. I'll still love you the same. Um... semi-formal, I guess. Just be ready for me to-"

Beep!

"Hold on, David. There's someone on the other line." I clicked over. "Hello?"

"Hey, Danielle. It's me, Shawn."

Omigod. Shawn Yuller, calling me? Omigod.

"Hello?"

"Oh, hey, Shawn. What's up?" My heart lightly fluttered.

"Hey, I just wanted to thank you for the whole Heather thing- oh, and don't worry, I didn't tell her you said anything."

"Oh, thanks."

"Anyway, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight. Just you and me. You know, if you aren't busy."

"Um..." Oh-MY-GOD. Was Shawn asking me out on a date?! Omigod. I tried to maintain my
cool. "Hold, on. There's someone on the other line."

"Ok."

I clicked over again.

"Hey, David? What time did you want to take me out?"

"Uh... around..."

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!

"...maybe 8:00?"">The Alphas He replied.

"Ok. I'll be ready. I got to go, see ya."

I clicked back over before he could answer. After last night's sleepover showdown, I
had to be careful about hanging out with Shawn.

"Shawn? Um, what time did you want to hang out?"

"About, 8:00, maybe."

"Oh, I can't-" Was I an idiot to pass up a date with SHAWN YULLER? "I have to babysit my little sister at 8:00. How about 5:00?"

Perfect. It was smart. He could drop me off at 7:30 and that would give me a half an
hour to get changed for David.

"Ok, so I guess I'll see you at 5:00?" He answered.

Omigod. [If I say that word one more time, shoot me!] Shawn was looking sooo hot when he showed up at my door step with his tight little D.Squared shirt and Diesel jeans. I just wanted to rip his clothes off and scream.

I wore another low cut See by Chloe lilac sweater and a pair of low rise Adriano Goldschmeid jeans with my new Dooney and Bourke charm purse. He opened the door of his Shiny navy Mercedes for me and I sat down once again on the familiar plush leather seats, only this time in Heather's spot.

"Thanks for going out with me tonight." He glanced at me as we took off down the street. "It was really nice of you."

"It's okay; I had nothing else to do tonight, anyway." I guiltily thought about David.
