But seriously, HJ needs to be continued. Agh. Here, lemme help...
Ch. 3: Nate bumps into Jenna dog-walking, and they have that brief conversation (Jenna's a little snappier, since she doesn't know NOJAC that well...other than the fact that he's creeping her), and the whole dog piss thing. Then Jenna begrudgingly allows Nate to step in in order to change pants. She gives him her older brother's, the same "thank god it's not a miniskirt" convo. They have a snappy conversation. Jenna's mom/dad/whoever you want comes home and sees Nate. Jenna's having a party that weekend and her mom/dad immediately invites Nate. Jenna argues. Mom/Dad wins. Nate's invited, much to Jenna's dismay.
Nate leaves and goes home to his mother/father/whoever it is that didn't abandon him. How does his parent react to it? Freak out that he's wearing somebody else's pants, or don't even notice it? Your choice.
Ch. 4: It's the party, and basically the same as the old party, except this time Jenna avoids him as much as possible. Extend the scene a little though...he sees Jenna, perhaps, and approaches her, but gets cut off by Amelia. They banter. Nate tries to find Jenna again. Amelia tells him that it's no use; she's in love with That Guy from the old chapter. Nate is all in denial etc etc play it out to your advantage (aka, use your humor). He immediately, in a rush of fury, approaches Jenna and That Guy and makes a fool out of himself somehow. Again, use your humor. He promptly gets kicked out? Or...I dunno, he stays, and gets drunk. If he gets kicked out, what will he do? If he gets drunk, he can't wake up the next morning in Jenna's home if she doesn't like him. Or if she's in his home.
Ch. 5: Let's go with the drunk situation. Nate wakes up and it's the whole Jenna scenario. Jenna's still snappy, because...How about her mom/dad stepped in again and suggested he camp out in their guest room after being totally durnk, etc. And Nate's mom called his cell to check in on him, and Jenna picked up. And his mom was okay with it and whatever. So yeah. Um, what else...okay, let's go with the date scenario. I like that, uh, Tori girl. Tori, right? Have Jenna explain to Nate about the date...with a smirk. Jenna's a little bitchy right now. Sorry, Jenna. Ooh, but how about this time, yes Nate does basically ditch the date, but then...
Ch. 6: Tori calls Nate and sets up another date. Use your imagination. Nate's kind of a pushover. A nice guy. You know the drill. But this time it's a double date; Jenna and That Guy, Nate and Tori. He hates it. I have an idea for later on...he's on another date with Tori and he sees That Guy with some other girl. However, Jenna doesn't believe him, and (this is at the point where they're friends again) basically hates him for a while, and she's still going out with the cheating That Guy. But this is later on, like Chapter 20. Pssssha. Because all in between Ch. 7 and 20, Nate and Jenna are becoming friends. Maybe in Ch. 18 ish they start to get feelings, but Jenna wants to be loyal to That Guy. So when Nate tells her about That Guy cheating, she obviously thinks Nate's just trying to get Jenna for himself.
Okay, I'm rambling. Agh.
Anyways, the problem now is the stuff inbetween.
For right now, just write Ch. 3 - 7.
Love,
BEAVER
Would you like to write HJ for me?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you seem to be handling it well.
Oh, and sorry to dismantle your hopes for chapter three, but Nate stalks Jenna to a different person's party.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like crushing the dreams of children like that.
