First Dance (Vice, Virtue & Video #0.5)

Librarian's note: This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN: B009SX8H6O.

Lola Caraway is a nerdy freshman attending her first high school dance. Her long-time best friend, upperclassman James Laird, is there with one of his many girlfriends, popular cheerleader Kelsey Vaughn. James interrupts the over-amorous intentions of Lola's date and Kelsey gets mad when he shares a slow dance with his younger best friend. He decides to combat Kelsey's bossiness with a foray into domination and punishment in an unlocked classroom during the dance. Later, he learns how strong his bond with Lola really is and how highly he regards her opinion.

This is the first short in the Vice & Virtue series, which follows James and Lola as they grow up and discover their true feelings for one another. This short also contains a sample of Vice, Virtue & Video, the first full-length novel in the series.
