Delaynee is graduating, and needs to decide, as do her friends, which is more important: Friendships or a Dream Career and a shot at a life for themselves.
When all her other friends choose their career, Delaynee decides she can't leave her best friend, AJ, to fend for herself and chooses friendship.
After everyone but Delaynee takes off, she starts to learn the value of friendship, the importance of living her life for herself by not always living to wait on others, and realizes how to put herself first, in addition to figuring out the beauty of first love, along with the pain of heartbreak, guilt, and loss.
Life isn't fair. It isn't meant to be. It's about taking advantage of the cards you've been dealt, and making your own luck, no matter the odds.
You know the old saying fake it til you make it? Well my best friend took that a little too seriously. Caitlyn came up with a crazy scheme to help me finally get the guy I had been crushing on for three years. Her plan was a little unorthodox to say the least.
She decided that her and her boyfriend Colton should stage a break up so I could pretend to date him for a month. He was the quarterback of the football team and the most popular guy in school. She said dating him would make the guys at our school finally stop seeing me as a shy, undateable nerd. She said I would have my pick of any guy after that, including my crush Takashi.
It was the most ridiculous plan I had ever heard of. There was no way anyone would actually believe me and Colton were dating. He was the quarterback of the football team. It would have probably been easier to convince the whole school that I was dating the President.
The problem was, I knew she was right. It was probably the only way I could get Takashi (my crush) to see me as girlfriend material and I wanted that more than anything in the world. Plus, Caitlyn's crazy schemes usually worked and I was desperate, so I reluctantly agreed to it.
The weirdest part of the whole thing was, her boyfriend Colton used to be my best friend before him and her started dating and she gradually took his place as my best friend. That was four years ago and him and I weren't near as close as we used to be. Now he was just my best friend's boyfriend.
