STORY STARTER
Write a scene where two characters are on a terrible date.
One-Sided Love 💔
I met this guy
And he asked for my number
I gave it to him
And here we are
Our first date
Together
I met this girl
And she was stunning
So I asked for her number
And got it
And here we are
Sitting
Across from each other
Her eyes
Glowing
Staring into my soul
I couldn’t stop looking at her
She was too beautiful 😍
He keeps _staring_ at me
It’s weird
And he hasn’t even touched his food
Is he ok?
“Are you ok?”
She’s looking at me
So gorgeous
I can’t even eat my favorite meal
I can’t believe
I got such a beautiful girl’s number
And I’m on a date with her
He was silent
Just _staring_ at me
Should I just leave?
He’s so weird
And _so_ not my type
I’m _so_ in love with her
I think I’ll **marry** her
Should I ask her now?
I think I’m going to leave
He just keeps _staring_
He won’t stop
I gathered my things
And left
Wait where is she going?
**_I thought she loved me_**
My heart
Is broken 💔😭
In this specific piece, you keep from past to present tense. “He just keeps staring” is present tense, while “I gathered my things and left” is past tense. What makes this more confusing is that the boys’ narrative is in present tense. Note that “I thought she loved me” does not count in this particular situation, since she had already left. Hope this helps which your future writing, sorry for commenting on an old one!
Love the two sides of this poem the guys is sooo funny and so is the girls
