When a terminally ill student wants to commit suicide, he meets an enigmatic girl who gives him new courage to face life, only to find out that her life expectancy is lower than his.
It’s going to be a mix of drama and comedy.
Where screenwriters learn the form and logline their screen ideas.

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.
