Not if you break up with me first / Miller, G. F.

Having been friends since childhood, when Eve and Andrew make it to eighth grade, suddenly everyone, crush-obsessed, assumes they will start dating each other. Feeling pressured to it, Eve asks Andrew to take her to the school dance, and everyone loses their minds--but for the childhood friends it is nothing but overwhelming awkwardness. It becomes so awkward that both of them, independently, decide to be the worst boyfriend/girlfriend ever, so that neither of them has to be the one to make things even more awkward--and potentially end their friendship--and break up with the other.

Best friends Eve and Andrew go to their first eight grade dance together, and suddenly everybody assumes they are dating, so they each try and arrange a break-up--except they are both beginning to feel a different kind of attraction.
