SPEAK, I THINK THEY HEAR YOU 'CAUSE I DON'T.
By Rosemary Edor
Childhood sweethearts that keep bowing to opinions from parents, friends, relatives get married due to pressure.
After years of staying 'in line', they start to realize they can still be true to themselves and live on their own terms. Will they do this together or individually?
SYNOPSIS:
A couple, high school sweethearts who began dating because everyone said they were a great couple start to realise that they might just be better company as friends not lovers. The pressure to remain as everyone has always known them is great. Can they live with disappointing so many people? Is it wrong for them to want to live as they would like to? Can they break free together as a couple or go their separate ways?

Hey Rosemary. Great concept! When I was first starting out, I had no clue what a "logline" was. I just assumed it was a short, snappy quip akin to a hook or a tagline. A "logline" is a 1-2 sentence summation of the main character (s), an inciting incident, their traits/weaknesses, a setting and their ultimate goal.
A lot of what you have in your synopsis can be substituted for your logline. (Peer pressured into a relationship of convenience, two high-school sweethearts realize that they might just be better company as friends, instead of lovers.)
