Searching: young adult novel "has been poisoned" "bucket list" I found 10 Things to Do Before I Die by Daniel Ehrenhaft.Reader description:
Ted Burger is eating fries with his best friend Mark, and Mark's girlfriend Nikki, whom Ted has a secret crush on, when some crazy shortorder cook who just got fired bursts in and says he poisoned the fries. Thinking he only has 24 more hours on earth, Ted and Mark make up a list of 10 things Ted should do before he dies.
OMG THANK YOUUUUU! Yes, this is the book I've been looking for
It's still haunts me everyday, not remembering the title(i want to re-read it).
The plot is about a boy, who's not very special or interesting, but he have best friend who's the exact opposite of him and this friend have a girlfriend. So, one day he eat in a restaurant(I think it's a fast food one) and later he found out that an ex employee put some poison in the food because he got fired(or something, the point is he want to destroy that restaurant's reputation). Believing he's gonna die soon, his best friend and his girlfriend make him do many thing he never have the courage or will to do. Kinda like he's an introvert but he always want to be extrovert, and now his best friend help him to achieve that because he believe he's gonna die anyway.
SPOILER
In the end of the book, he's dating his best friend's girlfriend. In the story he always jealous of his best friend and kinda have a crush on the girlfriend. But by the flow of the story, he realize that his best friend and his girlfriend are not compatible or happy with each other, and in the end everyone is happy. The poison is a hoax because that ex employee is dumb and can't even make the poison, his best friend is now single and ready to be free, and the main character/the boy is now dating the girl and ready to face new challenges in life(That's how i remember the ending).
