My female MC (18) is interested in her young teacher (24)...he is trying to keep his distance, but his younger brother has decided to start dating her.
She does like the younger brother as well, but most her fasincation lies with the teacher. However, she's being cautious cause she's no dummy, yadda, yadda (sorry for the slip-shod explanation- just giving a touch of background to what's going on here).
My question is this- while she's dating the younger brother, is it accpetable to brush over their scenes together, stressing important parts, or should their scenes be more up-front. Since it's sort of a love triangle, is their time equally as important as the teacher's and student's? (Because ultimately something does bloom between them. If you want to know more about that, I have a thread on YA titled "Student/Teacher cliches." It's not going to be as bad as you've probably imagined- meaning there's no sex or inappropriate contact. And it's a story with a very different point than has most likely crossed your mind. Think about this..My "tagline" is this: "Falling for a Teacher? Sometimes what we really love is what we're not seeing." ).
I just feel like including too much information about the brother and student is dragging the story down, when there are so many things that still need to transpire.
