Elizabeth hadn't known Donald very well before asking for his help on the newspaper. She had always thought of Donald as quiet, serious, and shy--what her twin sister Jessica would call a real nerd. But once she got to know him, Elizabeth had realized that Donald was an interesting person with a lot to say.

Still, Elizabeth thought, he's definitely no Todd. She glanced quickly at the other boy in the room, Todd Wilkins. She liked to think of Todd as her sort-of boyfriend. They had gone to a few dances and parties together, and not long ago the two had shared their first real kiss.

"Okay, okay," said Sophia Rizzo, another member of the Sixers staff and one of Elizabeth's closest friends. "We all agree it's a nice picture, Donald. Never has a bunch of gym lockers looked so beautiful. But let's hurry up, okay? You and I were supposed to be at the Science Club meeting a half hour ago." She nodded toward Todd. "And we all know Elizabeth is late for a very important date too."

Elizabeth felt herself blush at Sophia's comment. It still felt a little strange to hear someone use the word date. After all, Elizabeth and Todd were just going to Casey's Place, a local ice-cream parlor, for an afterschool snack. She wasn't sure, but she thought Todd looked a little embarrassed by what Sophia had said too. He slouched down a little lower in the chair near the door, where he sat waiting for her to finish.

"All right," Elizabeth said, making her voice as businesslike as possible to cover her embarrassment. "I think we're almost finished here. Does everyone have an assignment for the next issue?"

"Yeah, and they're really thrilling." Amy rolled her eyes. "If anything can be more exciting than this week's lead story about new lockers, it will be my masterpiece next week about the janitors' spring cleaning plans."

"Right," Sophia agreed. "Or mine on the changes in the cafeteria menu."

Todd and Donald laughed. "I can't wait to read that issue," Todd joked. "Save me an extra copy for my scrapbook."

Elizabeth grinned. "Okay, so there's not much happening around school these days," she said. "At least Valentine's Day is coming up in a couple of weeks. Maybe that will give us something to write about. In the meantime Donald has promised to take some pictures of the sports teams. We could do a feature on one of the teams for next week's lead story."

"That sounds good," Amy said. "I could write a story to go along with Donald's pictures." Amy was very athletic and often wrote sports stories for the Sixers.

"Or maybe we should take Lila Fowler up on her offer," Sophia said with a laugh. "She did volunteer to write a story about her trip to Dizzy Planet--as long as we promised to put it on the front page."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. Lila Fowler came from one of the wealthiest families in Sweet Valley, and she never let anyone forget it. She had been the first person in school to visit Dizzy Planet, the brand-new theme park that everyone in California was talking about. "It's not as if there's anyone left in the school who hasn't already heard that piece of news," Elizabeth said. "Lila hasn't stopped bragging about her trip since she got back." Elizabeth and Lila weren't very close, even though the wealthy girl was one of Elizabeth's twin sister's best friends.

"Actually, she started bragging about the trip before she even left," Todd said with a chuckle.

Elizabeth laughed, then stood and started straightening up the area where they had been working. "I guess that's it for today," she said. "We can all keep thinking about new story ideas for next week. Maybe one of us will come up with something more exciting than--"

Her next words were lost as the door swung open with a bang and her twin sister, Jessica, burst into the room.

"Stop the press!" Jessica exclaimed. "I just heard some fantastic news!"

"What is it, Jessica?" Amy asked drily. "Did one of the Unicorns get a new perm?" Jessica was a member of the exclusive Unicorn Club, a group of the prettiest and most popular girls at Sweet Valley Middle School.

Jessica ignored Amy and grabbed Elizabeth by the shoulder. "I'm serious, Lizzie," she said breathlessly. "This is huge. I just heard about it in detention."

"You had detention again today?" Elizabeth said with concern. "What did you do this time?"

"What? Oh--who cares about that?" Jessica asked impatiently. "The important thing is what I heard."

Elizabeth sighed. It never ceased to amaze her that her twin could be so casual about something like detention. Elizabeth herself could hardly imagine serving detention, but Jessica usually managed to rack up at least one or two detention slips per month. It was just one of many ways in which the twins were very different.

Jessica and Elizabeth looked almost exactly the same on the outside. They both had long blond hair and sparkling blue-green eyes. When they dressed alike, even members of their own family sometimes had trouble telling the two girls apart. But nobody who knew them ever confused their personalities.

Elizabeth was the more serious, studious, and reliable twin. She loved school and did well in all her classes. When she wasn't working on her homework or a story for the next issue of the Sixers, she could usually be found reading a mystery novel or spending time with a few close friends.

Jessica's closest friends were the other members of the Unicorn Club. She liked shopping, gossiping, and talking about boys much more than reading or doing homework. And she especially liked to be the first one to hear about a juicy piece of news.

"Okay, I give up," Elizabeth said. "What's your big scoop?"

Jessica perched on the edge of the table, accidentally knocking the front-page layout to the floor. "Get this," she said. "We may all get to be contestants on Young Love!"

Amy had bent to retrieve the layout, but she stood up quickly at Jessica's words. "Young Love?" she said. "You mean that teen dating show on TV?"

Jessica nodded and crossed her arms on her chest, looking smug. "That's the one," she said. "I accidentally overheard Mr. Edwards talking to someone on the phone about it." Mr. Edwards, the vice principal, often supervised detention after school.

"What exactly did you hear?" Sophia asked.

Jessica shrugged. "Well, not that much actually. I don't have all the specific details yet. But I definitely heard him say that Young Love is looking for a middle school in this area to be featured on the show."

"Wow," Sophia said. "It would be so cool if they picked us!"
