scuffed.
    Jennifer instantly knew who he was.
    Every girl at North Ridge High did.
    Will Sinclair.
    The Heartbreaker.
    He held out the pizza box. “Are you Jennifer Harris? Half pepperoni, half mushroom?”
    â€œCome in,” Jennifer said, holding the back door wide open. “You must be freezing out there.”
    The scent of hot pizza brought Sheba running into the kitchen. Immediately, she began rubbing herself up against Will’s leg and purring.
    â€œWould you excuse us for a second?” Jennifer asked Will, grabbing Violet by the arm and dragging her into the next room. “I can’t seem to find my wallet and I need help finding it.”
    â€œIsn’t that it in your hand?” Will pointed out.
    Jennifer stared at the red leather wallet she was holding and laughed. “It is! But there’s no money in it. I need to go find my other wallet. We’ll be right back.”
    As soon as they were alone, Jennifer whispered, “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”
    â€œYou want Will Sinclair to be your boyfriend.”
    â€œHe’s perfect!”
    â€œPerfectly awful!” Behind her glasses, Violet’s blue eyes widened with concern. “Jen, you’ve heard the stories about him.”
    Jennifer knew what Violet was talking about. Will was a notorious serial dater. He never went out with the same girl more than twice and his dates weren’t just limited to girls from North Ridge High. He was known to have gone out with girls from St. Bernadette’s and St. Edmund’s, two all-girls Catholic high schools, as well as two other public high schools. It was even rumored that he’d gone out with girls in college sororities!
    Girls at North Ridge High were always following him down the halls. Waiting by his locker before and after school. Sitting at his table in the school cafeteria. They offered to buy his lunch. Do his homework. Take him to concerts and movies. Tempt him with expensive gifts.
    But Will never said yes to them.
    He dated only the girls that he wanted to date and then moved on. It didn’t matter if a girl was still interested in going out with him. Saying yes to a date with Will Sinclair meant maybe having your heart broken. Because there was always the chance that he might not call back. That was why he was called the Heartbreaker.
    But girls kept saying yes to him because each and every one of them thought that she was going to be the one to get Will to change his ways. He was a bad boy, and there was nothing more irresistible to a good girl than trying to tame a bad boy.
    Jennifer felt that Will would be perfect as her fake boyfriend. If everyone thought she had tamed the Heartbreaker, she’d be the talk of North Ridge High.
    â€œThose stories are nothing but gossip,” Jennifer said dismissively. “You shouldn’t be so quick to judge him!”
    â€œI’m not judging him. All I know is what I’ve heard.”
    â€œWell, you’ve heard wrong!”
    â€œAre you sure this is such a good idea?” Violet worriedly asked. “Are people really going to buy you and Will as a couple?”
    â€œI think you just insulted me!” Jennifer gasped in mock outrage.
    â€œHe’s never had a girlfriend,” Violet reminded her. “Don’t take it personally. People are going to talk. Why all of a sudden does he decide to have a girlfriend?”
    â€œWhat can I say? He was waiting for the right girl. Me!”
    â€œI don’t know, Jennifer. Something could go wrong.”
    â€œNothing is going to go wrong. How can it? And think of the best part! When I walk into Claudia’s party on Saturday night, her eyes are going to pop right out of her head. I need her to be shocked when she sees Will on my arm. Can you think of a better secret boyfriend than him?”
    Before Violet could answer, Will called out from the kitchen. “Hey! Your pizza is getting
