* The ''Literature/WaysideSchool'' series is very aware that [[ToyShip elementary school kids]] tend to tease, annoy and bicker with their crushes. Throughout the books, Joy picks on Todd, Jason picks on Alison, Terrence picks on Rondi, Paul is obsessed with pulling Leslie's pigtails, and Dana and John are arch-enemies who obviously really like each other. In one chapter, this trope is lampshaded when Dana thinks she hates hearing stories because they make her feel too many strong emotions; when Mr. Jewls makes her realize that she really loves stories, she suddenly exclaims in disgust "What if I really love John too?"

* In ''[[Literature/RamonaQuimby Ramona Quimby, Age 8]]'', the [[ToyShip "kids picking on their crushes"]] version of this trope is shown between Ramona and her classmate Danny, a.k.a. "Yard Ape." He teases her and steals her eraser on the first day of school, while she gives him the aforementioned nickname and thinks she can't stand him at first. But he comforts her when she thinks their teacher doesn't like her, and writes her a unique, playful "get well" card when she gets sick, while she in turn starts to "really like him" (though she never admits it) and his grin even makes her forget her lines while she's presenting a book report.
