I dug out my diaries from high school and they read like romance novels on Fictionpress... full of stolen glances, loaded exchanges and such. Ah, I was so naive. And misguided when it came to reading boys, that is, when a boy is being friendly and when he is flirting.
That is the problem with most the stories on Fictionpress, including my own. The male leads just sound like girls dressed in guys clothing. I honestly should get a boy to read stories on Fictionpress and ask them if that is how they really think.
That being said, life imitates Fictionpress pretty well sometimes. I give you this story:
Argumentative girl falls for the pompous handsome med student on her dorm floor but he doesn't like her back... she moons over him for almost half a year and all the while, she starts a friendship with the boy who continually knocks on her room door at random hours of the night... said boy has tidbits of gossip... I should probably mention at this point that this girl has a knack for collecting and spreading gossip... back to said boy... this strange boy has interesting gossip which he refuses to give freely to the girl, unless she manages to outwit it out of him... but oh noes! strange boy has a girlfriend... what is he doing? dumdumdum...
