The Boyfriend Interviews

Again, only a plot outline. I have so many plot outlines that I have to post them here to keep track of them!


Erin is weird. She has a lot of guy friends, and a lot of gal friends, but no boyfriend. She doesn't really trust any one of her friends with everything, and she has to pretend in school and at home. She used to have crushes, but as she began to read more and more, she became afraid of getting hurt. And so, she withdrew her heart from love.

However, on the next-to-last day of seventh grade, it's the Talent Show. A lot of her guy friends are performing: Jamie, Joe, Sam, Phil, Kevin, Ryan, Eric, Beshoy, and Jiansen. They are all singing one song: Can You Feel the Love Tonight, by Elton John, one of her favorites. As they sing, they move down the aisles until they are singing to ERIN. After the song ends, with one voice, they ask, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

So, now, Erin has nine potential boyfriends. She's not a little freaked out, and she's pretty sure it's a joke, but she decides to play along. Therefore, over the summer, she gives each guy a one-week trial as her boyfriend.

Eventually, though, she and the guys realize that she doesn't really click with any of them. So, it's a new school, and she still doesn't have a boyfriend... Although her friends all managed to pair up with the guy friends who sang to Erin at the Talent Show. And even Erin lucks out. She finds two new guy friends, Efren and Ross. Maybe one of them will become her first boyfriend, or maybe they'll make up the sequel of The Boyfriend Interviews.
