Ordinary world: Viola Hastings plays soccer at her high school until one day her team gets cut. she lives with her overbearing mother and rebelous songwriting twin brother Sebastian.
Call: Sebastian ditches to a battle of the bands for a couple weeks in London, Viola decides to take charge and prove that girls can play soccer just as good as guys. She disguises herself as her twin brother Sebastian, and goes out for the rival school, Illyria, boys' soccer team and makes it.
Refusal: Viola has doubts about her abilities as a soccer player and does not know if her disguise will be put to the test.
Mentor: Duke, Violas/ Sebastians' roommate who she finds herself falling for, teaches her how to be good enough to play first string by their first big game against her old schools team. He befriends her and shows her the ropes.
Threshold: Viola crosses the threshold when she is being disguised as a boy and then when she first enters the boys dorm and sees what life is like on the other side.
Tests, Allies and Enemies: Viola makes herself "cool" by setting up a scene with several of her girl friends and therefore is excepted by the soccer team. She is trying to get away from her ex-boyfriend on the opposing soccer team and keep up appearances while dodging Sebatians psycho girlfriend who thinks Viola is Sebastian.
Approach: Viola is training especially hard and has made it to first string. Duke fights Justin (Violas Ex) and initially puts him in line. Viola agrees to set Duke up with Olivia a girl he has a crush on, and also to become a debutante like her mother wants her to be.
Ordeal: Viola finds out that Olivia has a crush on her Sebastian self, she has to try and nicely tell her no and at the same time not hurt Dukes feelings. Duke sees Olivia kissing the real Sebastian because he has arrived at school earlier then expected. Duke is upset and kick Viola out forcing her to find a place to stay and waking up late for the big game the next day. Now that the real Sebastian is back people quickly realize something is off and the twins have to prove that it was all just a big ruse and explain the whole truth.
Reward: Viola gets put in the game and they beat the other team, thus proving that girls can play in the same league as guys.
The Road Back: Viola still has feelings for duke but he is still upset that he was lied to and used. She tries to go after him after the game but he avoids her. She now does not have an escort the the debutante ball and she must go by herself.
Death: She sent a invitation to Duke but he has not responded, she tries to cope with the fact that he does not want to associate with her and she has to go to the ball without a date.
Resurrection: At the last minute Duke shows up and they reconcile. He escorts her and she is happy because he came around.
Return with Elixir: Viola now plays on the boys team at Illyria as herself. her and duke can now be together with no secrets. Olivia proved what she set out to prove and found love on the way.

A good book has no ending.
Her name was Charlese, she went by Charlie.
That was probably the most daring decision she had ever made, to defy her overbearing mother and go by something drastically less suitable.
She worked as a librarian. Its not that she wasnt a people person she just didnt care enough to try. So she replaced people with books, books were rarely wrong and alot more reliable. Plus they never ran out of stuff to talk about, and better yet they did all the talking and didnt expect anything back.
Charlie had only ever been on one date in high-school and it had ended in one torn dress and a garbage can full of tissues. Sure she had been asked on a hundred more since then but she had gotten rather good at saying the word no.
She wouldnt mind settling down... someday... but she was content to live her life how it was at that moment.
Her days went more or less the same with the exception of a few minor fluctuations
7: 13 - wake up
8: 10 - open the library
8:15- 7:00 - help helpless people find books about subjects they cant even pronounce because this is the only time they have even bothered to walk into a library.
7:30- 10:00- read in one of her recently loaned books about someone elses life, all those perfect adventurous, loved characters. people she wasnt. She was content to see through the eyes of these characters. she told herself that this would have to do until she had adventures of her own someday.
10:00- Go to bed.
This was how her life went until one day everything changed at around 6:48 that evening.
Charlie was getting ready to close up the library so she could make get home and dive into a new book she had gotten when she heard a deep clearing of a throat. She slowly looked up to help what she suspected was another lost soul in a sea of books and was surprised at what she saw.
He was not her regular customer. She knew he was different somehow. And with that one look she knew her whole gosh dang schedule would be totally thrown off kilter... and she didnt care.
questions:
1. who is this mystery man?
2. where is charlies family, why is she alone?
3. how is this man going to change her life?
