I was impressed. I had fun yesterday at the mall; shopping around for new clothes and candy is like therapy, regardless of how unhealthy. We drove back to my house, two minutes before 8 and my father --unsurprisingly-- was already standing on the doorstep. He thoroughly ignored Kimmi's wave, but he couldn't ignore the handshake Chris gave when introducing himself. I couldn't believe he actually wanted to meet my father.
My parents, however, were not as impressed. Chris, apparently, was unfit for me and gave my mother bad vibes.
They don't really even know him yet, I thought.
If they did, they'd realize he's a pretty humorous guy. Maybe they'd even admire him for his grand articulation. I laughed. If he had a chance in their perfect palm-pilot calendar.
Just at that moment, Chris messages me online. I didn't see him on earlier, but I go to his message box. We talk for an hour, starting with nothing in particular and ending with a heated debate over the ethics of Dr. House before I had to log off. I haven't had such a lively conversation in a long time, and I was glad Chris wanted to talk to me.
School on Monday dragged on by like every other day. After school though, Chris was in his car outside of the front doors. Next to me, Kimmi giggled and chanted "Ooh I think he likes you, ooh I think he likes you," and I lightly punched her in reply. Dragging her alongside me I approached Chris. He said he was waiting for Tom, but he wouldn't mind giving me a ride home.
I hopped inside, with the four of us in the car again, it felt like something was finally going right. Like the pieces all falling in place.

*hug* i just watched the FMA movie, and I'm soooooo happy! those two finally in the same world again! now, seriously FMA writers are brilliant. I'm so impressed, rawr! AND WINRY!!!! SHE'S SO LOVEABLE, I WANNA MARRY HER NOW!! =P
Now, about your post. I like your idea about giving Chris a chance. I like it a lot. That and the fact that you've been beasting all the written entries recently. I feel like we've almost reversed roles since the you've started with this theme. But don't worry, i'll get into it again soon.
i almost feel like 3.1 should be earlier. like, regardless of how we're going to handle editting the dream thing, now that Chris is to be portrayed in such a positive light, let's really either 1) move the bad premonition earlier or 2) have Chris be a serious serious addition to this novel. as in, he should be in andrea's life for quite some time (i mean, he has to get to know her better than any other person in order for him to be in a position to really hurt her, right?) and from there, Kurelas picks up the broken pieces of Andrea when they start to really interact again in college/ early adulthood.

yea, so it could just be because of FMA... but i'm really happy! But it's carrying over to our story, this excitement of mine. It's like motivating me to be a better writer. and, the fact that you're coming up with some really good ideas helps it a lot. =D WE WILL SUCCEED! ROAR!
lol. I'm glad the FMA movie made you so inspired.
For me, it was quite the opposite because it only solidified the ending of FMA. T.T
anyhoo, yeah I told you I would definitely write. XP
it's been a while since I did creative writing, so I'm glad you got me to do this.
as for Chris, I intend to keep him a minor character.
What Andrea doesn't realize is that Chris is just a player; it's her first boyfriend and she gets wrapped up in him too much. It's really she that hurts herself --as she'll realize later-- but she's gonna blame it on Chris first. He's insensitive to what she needs, but since he's a pretty smooth guy Andrea fools herself into thinking he's perfect.
oh, I forgot to explain this entry. gomen. I was thinking of adding more to it, but it was getting late.
so where I left off is supposed to imply that Andrea feels like she's finally found a place where she belongs. and she doesn't want to lose that; in fact she'll create facts from fiction in order to keep it, to make it real.
