Okay, first off, an update. I am working on a sequel. There are words on paper the word document. It's been an incredibly slow process, and at this point I keep changing stuff, so I basically get on one day, rewrite two-thirds of what I wrote the last time, and then that just keeps repeating over and over. Don't give up yet, though, there's still hope.
Meanwhile, here's a deleted scene from BASICS. This is right after Alejandro has apologized to Celeste (as you CON probably gather), and was deleted because it was CONplete garbage. It'll take me a couple posts to get it out, so that gives me a good excuse to put off posting the sequel stay tuned.
I found Mateo upstairs, tossing paper clips at passing pedestrians from the window. “Yo, what’s Celeste’s contact info?”
“Just message her on LMB.” He said, then doubled over laughing as if he had just said the most hilarious thing ever.
I was not amused. “No, really.” “First off, I saw her yesterday, and she seems to be in some sort of dream state about you. She’s back in ‘Alejandro is an amazing person’ mode, and I’m just kind of wondering how the bricks she’s back to that, right after you lock yourself in your room like some sociopath.” Mateo straightened back out. “Explain, and it better be good.” “I said I was sorry.” “Uh-huh.” Mateo said. “I bet that part went over well.” “Of course.” I said, trying to ignore the sarcasm. “And then she hit you?” He ventured a guess. “No, that was it.” I tried. “All that happened.” “Uh-huh. Like that would work.” Mateo gave me a bored look. “Man, you might not know girls, but I’ve got sisters.” I threw up my hands. “Oh, alright, I got vulnerable and I cried and somehow she liked that.” “They relate with emotions. They don’t relate with high scores.” Mateo pulled out his phone. “What do you need?”
lol, I am both of these characters.xD

The ice cream parlor turned out to be a nice mix of her world and mine. It was neither uptown nor down, and fairly reasonably priced. It was retro, still around from some time in the 80s. They had Journey on the radio, and a disco ball spinning sadly on the ceiling.
“Rest in peace, disco.” I said, staring at it.
She giggled.
I didn’t how to take this. I think, besides Mateo’s siblings, she was the first girl to giggle at anything I had said. I don’t hang out much with the opposite gender, and normally when I do, I’m too immersed in a good soccer game to stop and think about it.
“So, uh, you talk about me to your parents…?” I said, which by the way, is not a great way to start a conversation, but I did have a genuine interest in this field.
She blushed. Again, a first. “Of course.”
“And, uh, what do they think of me?”
The look she gave me was just the teensiest bit coy. “On the whole, or right now?”
“Uh…right now?” I hazarded.
She dipped her spoon in her ice cream. “They’re amused.”
I settled back in my chair. “I can live with that for now.”
She snorted. “I don’t think you have much of a say in the matter.”
“I could graffiti the property and that’d change real fast.”
“You South Americans and your graffiti.” She tossed her head. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think they hadn’t invented paper yet down here.”
“No, just mechanical pencils.” I said regretfully.
An awkward pause fell over the conversation. I contemplated this, and decided, on the whole, I could live with this, and continued to spoon up my ice cream. Celeste, on the other hand, was not prepared to give up conversation so easily, after having just broken me out of my little bubble. “What game were you playing all that week? And don’t say Agar.io, I’m not buying that.”
I could. . . *thinks frantically* . . . I could fly over there and kidnap you, and then you wouldn't have to worry about college and life-stuff anymore.
Me: Ooh, I can help! *Slips legging over face to hide identity like a 90's bandito* Tigress: Oh, hi Lolimon. Me: Hi. Tigress: *keeps walking* Me: Tigress: Me: Tigress: *walks back* Are my- why, no, how do you have my leggings?! MOCK!

2. That's good. When I write sort-of-romance-but-not-really parts I like it but I'm kinda afraid it'll get me in trouble one of these days.
Yeah, I may or may not have CONpletely overextended myself.
2. Yeah, the mods are fairly strict on romance, just keep it very PG and you'll be fine. Honestly, I prefer my romance stories PG.
2. Nah I'm not worried about that, I definitely prefer romance stories PG too. ( If anything it's violence that'll probably get me in trouble with the mods... ) What I'm worried about is my siblings or someone reading the story parts that have romance in it and then teasing or judging me about it or something. ( I'm so paranoid. )

Who told you it was garbage?? It was funny and accurate. Moar? : D
I did. This part isn't the bad part. The main problem was that it kind of led away from the direction I needed the story to take. I needed CONflict between Celeste and Alejandro still, not boring ice cream parlor visits.
Why thank you. I want to be a writer, so it's super inspiring to find people who can commit and make an amazing story like you did.
I'm currently working on a minor in Writing at college, so I'm definitely aspiring to be an author as well. Btw, I don't remember if you asked to be in it, but you are in the sequel. I was just making a character and you fit it best.

Oh hey more!
@bold That's funny. What about getting emotional about high scores though?
