Katie Becker is tired of being second choice. She's tired of her friends choosing her last, she's tired of her teachers not giving her the credit she deserves, but most of all she is tired of boys never liking her back.

Upon the discovery that her most current crush is crushing on someone else, Katie is distraught. And so is her best friend Rachel. After a party where they destroy her (former) crush's car, Rachel and Kate are forced to work to pay off the damaged. 

Kate and Rachel make a bet, if Kate can actually swear off boys, Rachel will pay her back for the time she spends working to pay off the damages. If Kate falls into the same patter, Rachel doesn't have to pay her back. Thinking the bet will be easy, Kate hastily agrees. 

Unfortunately, the boy Rachel chooses for her to not fall in love with in the perfect, and rebellious, Matt Abbott. 

Kate soon comes to discover that you can't always control how you feel, and maybe you have to fall for someone, not just pick them and then decide to fall for them.  Love isn't just something you can decide.  And maybe love is so much more than what she used to think.


*This is the reworked and re-edited version of this story originally uploaded in 2015. Details have been changed, so I recommend rereading if anyone (for a wonder from all those years ago) plans to keep reading.
