It was nice. It was just really nice. I kept reading because I cared about what would happen between Hector and Iris. It made me smile and feel good. Very sweet. Well done. Very well done. Take one of the Ds out of Midday. There are only two.

Hey Ryan, Nice piece of work. liked the way it progressed with Iris and Hector, he got his girl, great confidence and the BIG price. A little twist at the end, I guess, going for the BIG stuffed animal. Good dialogue for the age range, teens. It felt real. Action blocks, IMO, need some tightening. There is quite a bit of telling, unfilmable and fillers, I call them. When you read through the script, ask yourself, is this visual, filmable. EX: On page 1: "Hector continuous to look around.". That's all you need, cause it's implied what Hector is looking for from PEDRO's dialogue following "You looking out for Iris?" Show me what's going on. Keep it tight. Don't waste space. I'm not going to pick too much on format and technical stuff, but I like to mention a couple of things. In Action, I try to stay with present tense (ex: smiles) instead of present progressive/continuous (smiling). And avoid repeating in Action what is established in the headline/slug line, like the opening paragraph. Why not remove "sidewalk" from the heading, then you can include "sidewalk" in the Action block. Another nit-pick, I would just stay with DAY and NIGHT in your slug, not a fan of MIDAY, just my own opinion. The first paragraph, maybe a little clunky. Four bicycle wheels roll down a sidewalk, I guess that is what you're trying to say. It almost feels like a Teen Romantic Comedy. A feel-good story. Good work. I liked it. Good luck Frank

Simply go to that individual's post you'd like to respond to individually, then click the "quote" button icon in the right hand corner.
I know there's a thread as well that explains things better than I could, but can't seem to find the darn thing at the moment. Lol!
