Carolyne has been in love with Jamie since the sixth grade. But it's kind of hard to work that into a conversation when Jamie has also been her best friend that whole time. Not to mention he just so happens to be in a perpetual relationship with Carolyne's ex-best friend, Cecilia.
But when Cecilia cheats on Jamie, Carolyne seizes the opportunity to finally get him for herself, and asks for just one day to pretend that they were together.
When the end of the 24th hour approaches, will she find what she so desperately desired all these years? Or will it just be game over?

Twelve Days
"Why do you portray yourself as the 'bad girl'?" I'm caught off guard by his question. I look down at my shoes, feeling slightly angry. Who was he to say that me being a bad girl is just something I portray myself as? "This is my lifestyle." "I don't believe that for even a second, Josephine." "And why not?" I ask him, snapping my head up to meet his piercing eyes. "Today I've seen more than you being a 'bad girl'. That's not who you are," he shrugs. "Let's get this straight and you listen loud and clear. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not. This lifestyle that I'm living is real. I smoke, I wear leather jackets, I ride motorcycles, I love bands, and I know how to fight. That's what I do, and what I am is a bad girl." "No, what you are is a normal person. There's no such thing as a 'bad girl' and there is no such thing as a 'bad boy'. Anybody can throw on a leather jacket, hop on a motorcycle, and throw a cigarette in their mouth. That doesn't classify them as a bad boy or girl, Josephine." I consider his theory for a second, but then I shake my head. "Who I am is all that I know how to be." "That makes you one of us." ~~~~~~ Josie only wants one thing: to know why Felix Calvin Wesley doesn't talk. Everyone at Roke High School has gone up to him to get him to talk, or maybe to just find out what he draws in that huge sketchbook he always seems to be carrying around. When Josie's best friend makes her get up and go talk to him one day during lunch, Josie doesn't back down. They say it only takes twelve days to fall in love with someone. Will the bad girl fall in love with the weirdo artist? Or is Josie just wasting her time?Complete
