Welcome friends, followers, and Weekend Writing Warriors!
I’m continuing on with another snippet from a short story draft I wrote back in June, mostly after I got back from the Young Gunns workshop in Kansas. It was based on a story idea I shared back in the A-Z April challenge: Magic Milkshakes. This is still Danielle talking with her friend Irene.

“I can’t seem to concentrate on the homework,” Danielle admitted.
“Me neither, which is why I think I’ll drop by the party after all. Don’t stress about the milkshake thing–It’s not that big a deal, I was just curious.”
“Aren’t you going to even ask me to come along?”
“You want me to ask you–to blow off a night of studying and come to a party with me? A party that you already refused an invite on from a pretty cute boy?”
“Well, I’m allowed to change my mind, aren’t I? I just said I wasn’t able to concentrate on studying.”

Fast moving dialogue. Party with a cute guy or study . . . hmm . . . now that’s a tough decision. Hopefully she’ll make the “write” one. You know, the decision that gets her in trouble and moves the plot forward. Great snippet.

Mmm…lack of concentration, milkshake…? Study or party? Lots of questions to be answered.

Everyone has the right to change their mind, after all. Studying is a wiser choice, but everyone has to party sometimes!

I am getting really curious about these milkshakes. Why is her mom making her drink so many? What is it about these milkshakes?? 🙂
