It’s going to be a mix of drama and comedy.
When I see the wording ?suicidal terminally ill student? my gut reaction, although harsh was - why bother? Why should I bother to invest any emotions in a lead who is physically/emotionally dead already?
Not knowing your story, I came up with some stuff to allow me to care ?
With the help of a cheerleader, a terminally ill student on the verge of committing suicide finds inspiration but hopes are dashed when he discovers her life expectancy is shorter than his.
I was thinking in your story.
This is just the thoughts I was having.
What about if he wasn't dying. He was just depressed and suicidal. He wants to die. She is dying but wants to live.
He finds a reason to live, but then learns it is going to be taken from him and their is nothing he can do.
Is the only thing that I find bracing. ?Why is someone that is difficult to understand going to give him courage.
Maybe she does. I don't know. ?Perhaps aim for the heartbreak instead.
I know I am doubling down on his new happy outlook. ?I don't think her personality is paying enough dividends to survive the edit.
