[1858] Never Have I Ever - 2nd draft

Drama

Hello, this is the second draft of an excerpt of a story I'm writing. Note that the beginning and ending are abrupt - it's cut out from the middle of a chapter. The setting and character descriptions happen right before this excerpt, I’ve cut it all out for word count purposes.

Context: Laura has been invited by her new college roommate Spencer to a party hosted by Spencer's friend Natalie.


General feedback welcome, as well as feedback on the following:

  • Is the narrator's voice interesting enough?

  • Are the personalities of the three girls distinct?

Read these questions after reading the excerpt to avoid bias.

  • !By the end, does it come across that Laura is attracted to Spencer? Is it too obvious? Too subtle?!<

  • !Does it come across that Natalie and Spencer may have something going on? Too obvious? Too subtle?!<
