Title
By the way the name of this particular book is Why Parents Make You Suicidal. The main character's name is Sasha, her best friend is Chris, and her boyfriend (who cheats on her and who she later dumps) is Matt, Jesse is a girlfriend of hers who cheats on her with Matt. Just thought I should mention that.
First Chapter
Here it is, a part of one of my older chapters that I'm going over, tell me what you think...
When I thought about the end of the world, my first action was to list all the conspiracy theories, and doomsday prophecies, and calendars predicting our mass demise. My second action was to write a memo to my future self saying, "watch the 2012 movie." I then folded the memo in half, taped it that way, and wrote on the outside, "Do not open until 2013!!!"
According to most of the conspiracy theories, the government is in fact planning the end of the world. According to most of the prophecies, either a gigantic comet is going to hit the earth breaking it into a billion pieces (obviously killing all life) or, a giant super volcano is going to erupt causing a worldwide volcanic winter (of which the survival rate is pretty darn low). And according to the ancient Mayan calendar it, well it just ends which apparently marks the end of days. Clearly no one believes that that was simply when they disappeared, or as far as they could see ahead using astronomy, or that maybe God Almighty himself came down to tell them to just knock it off with all the pessimism.
My third action was to wish that I could drink heavily.
My fourth action was to call Chris and tell him everything that had happened today, needless to say my fifth action was to leave a long and painfully pathetic sounding message on his cell as I forgot that I had just left school early in my daze and that he was in class at the moment.
Today is just really not my day, it's my own personal apocalypse. There was only one thing left to do.
Laying on the couch moping - 35 minutes
Searching the attic for my dad's darts and board - 1 hour
Finding a suitable picture of Matt and placing it on the board - 20 minutes
Looking up tips on better aiming after hitting and breaking 4 pictures and their frames - 20 minutes
Looking up new frames for my mom - 30 minutes
Throwing darts at Matt's face and really ending up just hitting him just below the waist - 5 hours
Gathering up every reminder of Matt, myself and the super cheater together, or Jesse the super worst best friend ever - 1 hour
Crying on the phone to Chris after he called me back - 2 hours
Chris coming over and helping me ceremoniously burn all said reminders - 45 minutes
Trying as hard as I could to get over the day and put it all behind me - Still don't know when that is going to happen
Hopefully tomorrow will end up going better.

YAY
Alrighty then, I found it.
And behind door number 1 is..... a USB drive!!!!!
And on it is a short story that I am currently trying to make un-short. It is based on highschool life, and I want to make it as real as possible. So I will be posting parts of different chapters that I think could lose some cheese and gain some realness.
That's where you come in, please comment and tell me what you think should be done, or just tell me I'm amazing and everything is perfect. Either way, please remember to just comment.
Just to let you think on this, I will post the first chapter piece tomorrow after I get home.
