Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen
She flipped the first time she saw him. He ran the first time he saw her. That was second grade but not much has changed by seventh. She says: "My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss."

And just as he's thinking there's more to her than meets the eye, she's thinking that he's not quite all he seemed.
