I’m not going to announce the name of my story yet, as I don’t want people to steal it, but I’m going to post a short excerpt from it.
This is a dramatic scene, and if you are wondering, Quinn’s brother Ken threw a party at their house while their parents were away, and Quinn’s friend, Kylie showed up there without telling the MC. Anyway, here we go…
I feel as if this is not dramatic enough…

At Ken’s party that I didn’t know about?!

Partying?

Oh, cut me some slack.

Quinn, you know how I feel about your brother.
KYLIE (talk_happy_ringbox)
When he invited me to his party, I almost couldn’t say no!

QUINN (talk_arms_crossed_angry)
What I don’t understand if the fact that you didn’t tell me-
QUINN (talk_startled)
Wait- How long did you know about this?!
KYLIE (talk_awkward)
Only a week…
QUINN (talk_confused_mind_blown)
A week?!
QUINN (talk_angry)
You knew that this was Ken’s doing, and you didn’t even warn me first?!
&QUINN is arms_crossed_angry
KYLIE (talk_awkward)
Ken told me not to tell you.
QUINN (talk_angry)
Let me guess, you didn’t tell Cadence or Karina about this either, now did you?
QUINN (talk_arms_crossed_angry)
Because at least they’re honest with me.

Yeah Ken, sure…

Mind taking care of your little friend over here?

Oh, totally.

I’m sorry Q, but I kinda agree with Ken.
KYLIE (talk_shrug)
Why not loosen up a little and have some fun?

I’m all about having fun-

That’s not cool.

Then how about you just leave this party if you’re so scared.

I think the problem is that you just don’t want me to date your brother.

QUINN (talk_neutral_deny)
Now that’s a lie.
QUINN (talk_shrug)
I don’t mind if you date my brother.
QUINN (talk_awkward)
It might be weird at first, but…

Look at Cade and Conn-

Forget them. We’re talking about me now.
KYLIE (talk_arms_crossed_angry)
Quinn, I think you’re just jealous of your brother’s attention.
&speechbubble reset
QUINN (talk_neutral_deny)
No, Ky, it’s not that-
&speechbubble is 163 275 to 100% with tail_top_right
KYLIE (talk_apathetic)
And you feel if we and him become a thing, that I’d become popular and you’d still be unknown at school.
KYLIE (primp)
With even more bullies…
&QUINN is talk_startled
KYLIE (talk_arms_crossed)
I get it, you’re jealous that I’m finding love, but your crush literally doesn’t know you exist.
KYLIE (laugh_chuckle)
And probably never will.
KYLIE (talk_shrug)
I bet he has a girlfriend already.
QUINN (talk_sad)
Ky-
&speechbubble is 163 275 to 100% with tail_top_right
KYLIE (talk_arms_crossed_angry)
So yeah, how about you do us a favor and go back to your little fantasy about Jason…
KYLIE (talk_arms_crossed)
And yes, I’m telling you to leave.

QUINN (talk_angry_accuse)
I can’t believe you’re choosing my brother over me!
QUINN (talk_angry)
We’re supposed to support each other, Ky! I’ve always supported you!
QUINN (talk_angry)
But the one time a boy talks to you, you decide to ditch one of your best friends-
QUINN (talk_angry_defensive)
And basically keep this party a secret from us because…!
QUINN (talk_airquotes)
‘‘Ken told me not to tell you’’
QUINN (talk_sad)
I thought you were better than this.
