First, INTRODUCTION Introduction to the article: “The First Date” is selected from Miranda Harry’s “Our Secret Love”. The story tells a pair of high school students’ bitter and sweet love experiences. Active, funny Chris Geller and calm, orthodox Brian Lipton are the best friends. Brian’s sister Dana got leukemia as a child and struggled on the death line before being cured by bone marrow transplantation. Brian was afraid of losing his little sister and vowed to take care of her after his sister had recovered. The three of them were studying in a high school. An accidental event prompted Brian to classify all his friends as Dana’s “closed zone.” Although Dana knew Chris from an early age, he always considered him as another brother. But recently she had a passion for Chris, and Chris’s affection for Dana was equally strong. The two have the same personality. They all love sports and like the same music. But Chris is in the contradictory psychology of his brother’s designated “closed area” and they begin a secret love. The entire story is written in Dana’s tone. This article describes the scene of their first date.
