Number of NaNos: 'Tis my first this year...if I actually do it >.>
'08 NaNo: Crushed Crush (horrible, I know; but I just got this random idea and started writing it, and usually I have the title first, so...that's what I came up with ^^;] EDIT: Name change! Yes! It's simply Crushed now.
[b]Genre: Romance. Though I think there's going to be more to it than that, just 'cause I can't stand writing straight romance...
Plot idea:
Vague idea is--girl meets guy at dance. Girl falls for him and doesn't even realize it. Guy starts dating another girl; girl is heartbroken. Girl becomes depressed. Guy eventually breaks up with other girl over something and/or notices first girl's depression...that's if I decide I want a happy ending. If happy ending, guy asks girl out, girl goes from depressed to hyper; happy-ending-yet-to-be-made. No happy ending--...I don't want to think about that. O.o Think I'll go for happy ending. xD
More-defined idea is-- Amelia Darrell is our girl. She's rather tomboyish, and hangs out with the guys almost more than makes sense for a female sophomore (but not in a perverted way). She isn't into dating (a late bloomer) and only reluctantly wears makeup on special occasions. That changes at her sophomore Homecoming, when she meets handsome junior Eryk Bryant on the dance floor and falls head over heels for him...though she doesn't realize it at the time. Her day-to-day actions around school and over the summer are inextricably linked to this hidden pulse in her heart, only coming to a head when she finds out he's dating someone else nearly a year later. It's almost more than she can take, and she becomes despondent. She's sure he'd never fall for someone like her, as there's hardly been enough time for him to get to know her even less than she has gotten to know him. But she gets a break almost a year later when (in her junior year), he breaks up with that previous girl. Can she pull herself out of the hole she's fallen into in time to do something before the school year ends?
