I hope you’ve got hands and thoughts about the dicey state of literature, my friends, because you’re going to have some wringing to do.\u00a0After<\/em> has been acquired by Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuester.<\/a> Yes, the written word is dying. Yes, this is the worst thing to happen to literature, forever. And so on. And so on.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I can’t even care anymore. Whatever is going to happen in publishing, okay. Happen. If I got pissed off about what traditional publishing does, it would be like getting pissed off by a coworker I only see at the company picnic doing something that doesn’t involve me. Jeffrey is just out there, stealing staplers, nobody is stopping him, and I don’t have to care.<\/p>\n

What I do care about is the fact that now that\u00a0After<\/em>\u00a0belongs to someone, does it go away from WattPad? I don’t want to read the shiny, new version. I want to read the one with all the double periods and odd dialogue tags. Is that one going to go away?!<\/p>\n

Since I don’t know at this point, I’ll just jump right into the recap and hope for the best.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CHAPTER 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tessa says the rest of her weekend goes by fast and she doesn’t see Harry at all. She even plans a shopping trip for when he’s about to come over to the room. Still, he’s never far from her mind:<\/p>\n

The new clothes I bought fill up my small dresser, as I put them away Harry’s obnoxious voice pops in my head “You know we are going to a party not church” he said and would most certainly say again if he saw my new clothes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think you think this guy who doesn’t even know you thinks about you way more than he actually does.<\/p>\n

I have decided that I am no longer going to be going to parties with Steph, or anywhere that Harry may be. He isn’t good company and he exhausts me mentally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dude, you went to a party they invited you to, spent the whole time crying about how nobody there was good enough for you to hang out with, then pestered everybody about going home. Why do you think they’re going to invite you again?<\/p>\n

Oh, shit. Because this is fanfic. Yeah, they’re going to beg her to come with them, because no party was ever truly fun until she arrived. And then Legolas swings in on a vine and kisses her.<\/p>\n

So, Tessa greets her first day of college in a “perfectly ironed” pleated skirt and button down blouse, but, ugh, her lazy roommate isn’t even up yet:<\/p>\n

Steph’s alarm goes off but she hits the snooze button. Should I wake her? Her classes may start later than mine, or maybe she isn’t planning on going. The idea of missing he first day of classes stresses me out but she is a sophomore so maybe she has it under control.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OH! Steph’s a sophomore! Finally, one mystery unraveled.<\/p>\n

When I walk into my freshman history class the room is empty, except one person.<\/p>\n

I choose to sit next to him, he obviously cares about being on time. Just like me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Everybody has to have a hobby, I guess.<\/p>\n

“Where is everyone?” I ask him and he smiles. He has an adorable smile.<\/p>\n

“Probably running across campus to barely make it here on time,” he laughs and I instantly like him. That is exactly what I would have said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They’re bonding over their shared moral superiority. The guy is Liam Payne. This dude:<\/p>\n

\"liam\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Um. Wow. I.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what to do with my downstairs tingle feels right now.<\/p>\n

Liam has a lot in common with Tessa. For one, they’re both total ass-kissers:<\/p>\n

The class fills up and me and Liam make a point to introduce ourselves to the professor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think I actually spoke to two of my professors in college. Of course, I didn’t do great and dropped out, too, so maybe my experience is not typical. Or advisable.<\/p>\n

Liam also has a girlfriend back home, like Tessa has a boyfriend back home. I hope they don’t both cheat on their partners with Harry, because that might ruin their friendship.<\/p>\n

Tessa is impressed with the fact that college is nothing like highs school, except the college Tessa goes to seems to be exactly like high school, because she’s taking five classes and they’re all on the same day. Now, as I’ve said before, I did not finish college, but I do remember that when I was there, I was lucky to get\u00a0two<\/em> classes on the same day, and even then they would be like four hours apart. But Tessa is rushing from class to class to get there in time. Good thing her new friend Liam has another class with her! Things are going so well!<\/p>\n

Except, ugh, Harry walks in. Late. of course.<\/p>\n

“You know Harry Styles?” He asks. Harry must have quite the reputation around campus if someone as sweet as Liam knows him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is a reason I just can’t read RPF for enjoyment, and that right there is one of them. Sometimes, the names of the “characters” sound so ridiculous in the context of the story. \u00a0I love that in Tessa’s world view, the bad people have to be really bad for the nice people to know them, like they’re cordoned off in some special area to prevent interaction, and only rumors can escape.<\/p>\n

Tessa tells Liam that she thinks Harry is a jerk, and Liam is about to say something about him when Harry takes the desk next to Tessa’s. At the end of class, Liam and Tessa and Harry get into a super realistic and age appropriate argument:<\/p>\n

“What do you want Harry?” I ask, giving him a taste of his own medicine. it doesn’t work, he seems amused.<\/p>\n

“Nothing at all. I am so glad we have a class together,” he mocks and runs his hands through his hair, shaking it and pushing it up on his forehead.<\/p>\n

“I’ll see you later Tessa,” Liam says. He looks at Harry one more time and walks the opposite way.<\/p>\n

“You would find the lamest kid in class to befriend.”<\/p>\n

“Don’t say that about him, he is sweet and smart. Unlike you,” I’m shocked at my harsh words to him. He really brings out the worst in me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Actually, Tessa, the worst of you seems to be all in your internal monologue. For example:<\/p>\n

I try to picture him without his tattoos and piercing, he is actually attractive but his personality ruins him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Photo<\/a>
I’m actually listening to 1D through those headphones, just like I promised.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tessa, you just mentally erased someone’s appearance to make them more attractive to you because you don’t like their style. You are the last goddamn person to talk about someone’s personality ruining them. Your personality is like a Godzilla poo landing on an apartment building. Your personality is the third Matrix<\/em>\u00a0movie. Your personality is like rayeeeayyyn on your wedding day and a free ride when you’ve already paid. Your personality is the series finale of How I Met Your Mother.\u00a0<\/em>You are a black hole of total suck, and I hate you more than Anastasia Steele.<\/p>\n

That’s a lot.<\/p>\n

A really lot.<\/p>\n

I think Harry has picked up on Tessa’s constant judging of him, too:<\/p>\n

“Stop staring at me,” he says and turns the corner, disappearing before I can think of a comeback.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    “Harry styles Liam what is this turning in to one direction”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    CHAPTER 14<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It’s Friday and Tessa is all geared up to get a head start on all the homework for the semester, and to watch some videos. She’s getting a coffee when she runs into Molly, the pink haired girl from the party.<\/p>\n

    “Are you coming to the party tonight?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    No. Oh please. No.<\/p>\n

    Molly tries to convince her to go to the party because Zayn wants to see her, and apparently has been talking about her. Tessa doesn’t believe that, because as the Mary Sue of the piece, she can’t\u00a0expect<\/em> all the guys from the band to fall in love with her. It would be too obvious. Molly says they could have double dated:<\/p>\n

    Double date with who? Molly and Harry obviously. No thank you. Zayn was nice and all but Noah is everything to me. We haven’t spoken much this week but that’s only because my schedule is so busy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Also because Tessa is a heartbeat away from sucking Harry’s cock. Let’s not pretend that we don’t know where this is going.<\/p>\n

    In college we can sit wherever we want, a different chair everyday if we want but Harry always sits next to me in the front row. I know he does it just to annoy me but I have ignored him all week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Off topic, but you know what I found weird about college? You\u00a0could<\/em>\u00a0sit just wherever, but everyone seemed to sit in the same seats every time anyway.<\/p>\n

    You know what this book has been lacking so far? A really pointless and obvious allusion to a work of classic literature that’s supposed to echo the storyline of the piece, but fails miserably because the author lacks a rudimentary understanding of the themes in either work. You know. Like in\u00a0Twilight<\/em> and\u00a050 Shades of Grey<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    “We will begin our week long discussion of Jane Austen’s, Pride and Prejudice starting tomorrow!” Professor Hill announces just as the class ends. I can’t help my huge grin, I have read that novel at least ten times. It’s one of my absolute favorites.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Ah. There it is.<\/p>\n

    Also:<\/p>\n

    \"prof_harold_hill_cropped\"<\/a>
    Aren’t you supposed to be directing the marching band?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    I would pay good, good money to get a P2P book where the author uses\u00a0Moll Flanders<\/em> as an allegory for the romantic theme of their story.<\/p>\n

    “Let me guess, you just love Mr. Darcy,” Harry says in a mocking tone as I walk outside.<\/p>\n

    “Actually yes I do” We reach the intersection and I look both ways before crossing the street.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    That’s a shame.<\/p>\n

    “Of course you do” he laughs, continuing to follow me.<\/p>\n

    “I am sure you aren’t able to comprehend Mr. Darcy’s appeal” My mind goes to the massive collection of novels in Harry’s room. They couldn’t possibly be his. Could they?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    She could not be hitting this\u00a0Pride and Prejudice<\/em> thing any harder, could she?<\/p>\n

    “A man who is rude and intolerable being made into a romantic hero? It’s ridiculous. If Elizabeth had any sense she would have told him to fuck off,”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Oh, wait, no. She can.<\/p>\n

    I laugh at his choice of words but cover my mouth, stopping myself. I was actually enjoying myself bantering with him, but it would only be a matter of time, minutes if I am lucky, until he says something hurtful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \"Pictured,<\/a>
    Pictured, R-L: Anna Todd, the literary parallel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    But Tessa, as the Elizabeth Bennet stand-in, doesn’t agree with Harry Darcy’s interpretation:<\/p>\n

    “No, she is one of the strongest, most complex characters ever written”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    The hubris. It burns. I know Elizabeth Bennet, and madame, you are no Elizabeth Bennet.<\/p>\n

    Harry takes off just as Noah calls Tessa. He’s on his way to hang out with friends, but Tessa is apparently not allowed to:<\/p>\n

    “Are you going to another party? Your mom is still disappointed” Why did he mention it to my mom?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Because\u00a0he’s not your boyfriend, he’s a plant. Your mom hired him to keep an eye on your chastity. My point here is only reinforced by the fact that Tessa then goes on to describe him as a tattle-tale little brother.<\/p>\n

    Back at the dorm, Steph is getting ready for the party. She asks Tessa to come with, and promises they won’t be staying long. The word “beg” is involved to describe this whole thing. Why would Steph “beg” Tessa to go to a party, after the way she acted last time?<\/p>\n

    I envy her confidence. I know I have a decent body, curves in all the right places but I am just not comfortable with my body the way she is. I tend to wear clothes that hide my large bust while she tries to make hers draw as much attention as possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Curves in all the right places.<\/em><\/b>\u00a0<\/em>Veteran fanfic readers are doing this right now:<\/p>\n

    \"funny-laughter-animation\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    “Curves in all the right places” shows up with alarming frequency in shitty fanfic. From\u00a0Lord of The Rings<\/em> high school AU to The Avengers<\/i> crackfic, self-insert heroines always have “curves in all the right places.” Which has always made me wonder… what does it look like if somebody has curves in all the\u00a0wrong<\/em> places?<\/p>\n

    \"Pablo-Picasso-La-lecture-Woman-Reading-7545\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Just when I think the next chapter is going to be a long description of the movie Tessa watches on Netflix, her computer breaks.<\/p>\n

    “It’s a sign that you should come. My laptop is in Niall’s room so you can’t use mine” she smirks and fluffs her hair again. I really don’t want to sit in the dorm room alone without anything to do or watch.<\/p>\n

    “Fine, but we are leaving before midnight” I groan and she jumps up and down, clapping her hands.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    WTF, you got invited, Tessa. You’re the invitee here. You’re the tag-along. You don’t get to set departure time. Roll with it, or stay home and spend time with your miserable self. And why is Steph so fucking happy? The most unbelievable aspect of this story is that anyone, literally anyone, would be happy to be around Tessa.<\/p>\n

      “THE VAMPIRE DIARIRS MYSTIC GRILL BEYOTCHESSS”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      CHAPTER 15<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Tessa gets ready for the party, but oh no! She has to wear tighter jeans than normal because she hasn’t done laundry. She’s not a slut. She\u00a0has to<\/em> wear tight jeans. It’s unavoidable, and she really doesn’t want to. Because she’s not a slut.<\/p>\n

      “Wow, I actually like your outfit a lot” Steph tells me. I assume it is a compliment despite the surprise in her voice that she would actually like something I am wearing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      It must suck when someone acts obviously judgmental about your style.<\/p>\n

      Steph tries to offer her some makeup:<\/p>\n

      “Not this time” I tell her, remembering how it smeared from my tears last time. Why did I agree to go back there again?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      You haven’t left yet. Just stay home, I beg of you. I can’t take three more chapters of how much you hate parties. I will buy you a new laptop. I beg of you. Don’t go to the party.<\/p>\n

      “Molly is picking us up instead of Niall, she just text so she will be here any minute”<\/p>\n

      “I don’t think she likes me” I know she doesn’t.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      Yeah, she doesn’t like you. She invited you to this party to punish you. Because that’s how people view parties.<\/p>\n

      “She does, she is just too honest sometimes and I think she is intimidated by you”<\/p>\n

      “By me? Why on earth would she be intimidated by me?” I laugh. I am the one intimidated by her.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      She’s intimidated because you’re the protagonist, and therefore blindingly perfect, Tessa. She has to be intimidated by you so that the reader knows you’re perfect.<\/p>\n

      Did the author’s keyboard lose the . key during these chapters? What is up with all the other punctuation, but not periods?<\/p>\n

      Steph tells Tessa that Molly “changes guys every week,” which is presumably why she’s intimidated by Tessa. She wants to be as pure as her, but she doesn’t know how. Of course, that’s only one interpretation. I could be wrong. But I’m not.<\/p>\n

      At the party, Harry sees Tessa and tells her she looks different because her clothes fit her, and he’s surprised she came to the party:<\/p>\n

      “Yea.. I am surprised that I ended up here again.” I say and walk away from him. He doesn’t follow, but for some reason I find myself wishing we would have.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      Great. A period finally shows up and it’s used incorrectly. And of course Tessa wishes Harry would have followed her. He gave her a compliment, so now she’s unknowingly in love with him. Did she not read\u00a0Twilight<\/em>?<\/p>\n

      The group Tessa is too good for starts a game of truth or dare, and they invite Tessa to play:<\/p>\n

      “Like she would actually play, she would have to stop being a prude for five minutes” Harry tells them and they all laugh except Steph. His words anger, I am not a prude. Yea, I will admit I am not by any means wild, but I am no prude.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      Now, I hate the word prude. I really, really don’t like it. But Tessa is the very definition of the concept. It’s fine to be modest. It’s fine to not want to drink or party. But I don’t think that’s what constitutes a “prude.” It’s the need to look down on people who\u00a0do<\/em> enjoy those things that makes her prudish. To prove a point to Harry, she joins the circle.<\/p>\n

      The first few truths and dares include Zayne being dared to chug an entire beer can, Molly being dared to flash their group her bra, (which she did) and finding out that Steph has her nipples pierced.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      Okay, keep those things in mind as we find out what happens when Tessa picks truth:<\/p>\n

      “Are you a virgin?” Niall asks and I choke on my own breath. No one seems fazed by the intrusive question besides me. I feel the heat in my cheeks and the humor in everyone’s faces.<\/p>\n

      “Well?” Zayn says. Despite how much I want to run away and hide, I just nod. Of course I am a virgin, the furthest Noah and I have gone sexually is making out and him touching my bottom, through my jeans of course.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      Okay, one of the girls was asked about her pierced nipples, the other girl was asked to flash her bra. “Are you a virgin?” isn’t a very intrusive question, by comparison. Besides, Truth or Dare is\u00a0about<\/em> intrusive questions.<\/p>\n

      But seriously, “of course” she’s a virgin? Virgin is not the default, Tessa. It’s not like everybody else has voided their warranty.<\/p>\n

      Harry’s turn” I say, hoping to take the attention off myself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      But we have to wait for Harry’s turn until the next chapter, even though I couldn’t care less what happens. Oh, also, at some point Harry whispers something to Zayn and the commenters are making a huge deal out of it so I guess it figures in later.<\/p>\n
