Hai :3
This is so much fun!! I’m loving the dynamic between Janae and Hayden right away!! The drama, the pranks, the little sneaky tension building up are super entertaining. You’ve got strong, clear descriptions of the characters, but maybe for Hayden, you could show a bit more of why he thinks he’s cool. Like, does he do something extra cringe-worthy that he thinks is so awesome? That’d add a hilarious touch!! A tiny hint of conflicted feelings would make him even juicier as an antagonist too.
Similarly, I love that Janae is cool under pressure when Hayden pranks her, and then she flips the script by tossing water on him!! It's a great way to show that she's not going to be pushed around, even by the so-called "bad boy" of the college. That’s a power move!! Hayden being all bossy and cocky adds to the vibe perfectly, but Janae handles him like a pro. Maybe you could give more insight into her softer, more vulnerable side though!! We get a hint of it, but I want depth!!
Teacher (Ms. Isla)- Good morning students, Hayden care to explain why your shirt is soaked in water.
Hayden- None of your business.
!!! This is so silly, I adore it!!
The water-throwing moment is fab, but I have a suggestion; if you want to push it further, imagine Janae does something even more dramatic during the prank war!! I could see it going many ways ~~ Like, maybe she teams up with Devin to get back at Hayden in the party scene later!! The pacing is really fun, especially with the back-and-forth between Janae and Hayden, but I feel like more never hurt anyone. I can't wait to see how their rivalry ends up escalating over time!!
^^^ The prank war setup is predictable!! Hayden puncturing Janae’s tire and her texting him that she’ll get revenge at a party is pretty paint-by-numbers for this kind of story. Instead of going for something that we’ve all seen a thousand times, I wish you made the pranks more creative, or had a deeper reason for them. Is Hayden trying to embarrass Janae in front of someone important, or is there something more to this “revenge” dynamic than just petty pranks? Something to consider!!
This is such a fun setup for the story though!! The characters feel so lively, and there’s so much potential for chaotic drama!! I can’t wait to see what you do with the Sunday party revenge scene. I'll have to swing by the next part soon!!
