PLOT or STORYLINE
Plot is a literary term used to describe the events that make up a story or the main part of a story.
http://literarydevices.net/plot/ Plot is the series of events in a story. My example: A guy whose a close friend of
mine confessed his feeling for me and starts courting me. Months had passed and we get to know each other. The moment came where I think I’m starting to like him. Sometimes, were going together with our mutual friends.

Rising action is the point in a story where the main character faces difficulties.
My example: It’s vacation month and we rarely see each other but he goes in our house sometimes. The cold treatment between us had happened and this is the time where I asked a lot of questions to him.
