Love on the run . . .

Roger Barrett has always had a hopless crush on glamorous, wealthy Lila Fowler. The only attention Lila ever pays to him, though, is to make fun of him in front of her friends. But why shouldn't she, he thinks. After all, he's clumsy and shy and works as a janitor after school.
When Roger wins the qualifying heat for a big race, he becomes a school celebrity overnight. And to his surprise, even Lila starts to chase after him. But Roger knows if he runs in the race finals, he'll lose his job. Will Lila still notice him when he's no longer a star?

Lila turned on the sweetness in her voice. "Roger, I've seen the way you run. I bet you're faster than anyone in school." She battered her eyelashes as she gazed at him.
"You really think so?" Roger asked. His voice betrayed his nervousness at actually speaking to his dream girl.
"I bet you're even faster that Bruce Patman. And, Roger," Lila added, making her voice husky, "I'd love to see you beat him. You ought to enter the race."
"I can't." Roger heaved a deep sigh.
Lila widened her eyes in disbelief. "And I thought you were such a strong, forceful person. I'm dissapointed in you."
In an instant Roger realized that right now he meant nothing to Lil, but if he ran and won, there was a chance of changing that.
"You're right, Lila," he said with conviction. "I should be in the race." He hopped over the wire fence and dashed toward the starting blocks.
