Well, first you have to make a backstory…: where does your character come from? Where have she been true?

hey! i’ve been having trouble with thispart of my script. i basically am making a choice inside of a choice. What’s happening is that the mc see’s her 2 friends from a year ago, and her new riends and she’s deciding who to go to. in the option to go over to saige, her new friends there is a choice inside of that choice. So, when i preview it looks like this:
who should i go over to?
I hould hang out with saige
But there should be another choice to hang out with amaya and layla, her old friends. If you could just rewrite this part of the script it would be rlly helpful!
heres my current script

Hi! I’ve been trying to figure out why I keep getting an error that says I’m missing a bracket.
I do have one at the end of it and I’ve tried retyping it, refreshing the page, adding spaces, ect and nothing seems to help so I wasn’t sure if you’d have any ideas!!
This is the part that I keep getting an error for. (You don’t have to read the script if you dont want to lol but I’m just showing where I put the brackets.)

Hi I’m currently creating a restaurant scene and I’m having trouble with spot directing my characters. Ok so I have a family of four, a Mom, Dad, a son, and daughter. So I have already placed the Mom and daughter behind the table facing the reader and now I need to place the son and Dad acrossed from them rear facing and in front of the table. The problem isn’t that I can’t spot direct. The problem is layering. I could place the Dad and son in the 100th layer. But they are still behind the table, and I need them in front of the table rear facing the Mom and daughter.
If you could help it would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you and have a nice day 
you need to have a space between this > and 4

Hi, my story has a sentence that needs to have a strikethrough, but only 1 word gets crossed out. I tried adding |strikethrough| before every word but the sentence still wasn’t crossed out. Do you know what I can do?
Hi! So, I’ve been having problems for a while with my choices. When I try to preview my story, the error is that the bracket for one of my choices isn’t closed! But it’s literally perfectly placed! I don’t know what’s going on. Here’s a pic of what the choice looks like:
