So basically, it's two and two: two characters have a story together, and the other two characters have their own separate stories. So, for the one I'm writing right now, "You Can't Be Serious", it about these two young college boys, Flavian and Xavier. Flavian is a average gay boy, just looking for love, a stable job, and good grades at his community college. Xavier is internet famous, going on several dates a night, and well set-off from his online influencer career. One time at the bus stop, they both meet, and Xavier invites Flavian to a date later that night. Of course, Flavian comes to it, but is also skeptical of Xavier due to his online presence and popularity. They fall in love, but nothing is official yet. Flavian later realizes that he was just one of the few people Xaiver was using for his sexual desires. They get into a big fight, then Flavian comes racing back to Xavier, apologizing and saying he wants to get back together, but only if Xavier promises that Flavian will be his only love. Will Xavier accept?

Will Olive manage to bear the pressure and issues cropping up along the way--or is this too much to ask?
