Only use colons after menu choices. There are no choices in the labels newfriend/notafriend, so there shouldn't be any colons. Make sure indentations are uniform -- there were a few that were one space more than others.

Labels are core to making a VN with any choices. You should really practice using them. They aren't that hard. Start using them without menus. Then add menus.
label start:
"Your game starts here."
"If this jump doesn't work, the game will end."
jump other
return
label other:
"If you got here, the jump worked."
"Now the game will end.

The code philat gave you should work, so you should really try that out too.
A Close Shave:
*Last Thing Done (Aug 17): Finished coding emotions and camera for 4/10 main labels.
*Currently Doing: Coding of emotions and camera for the labels--On 5/10
*First Next thing to do: Code in all CG and special animation stuff
*Next Next thing to do: Set up film animation
*Other Thing to Do: Do SFX and Score (maybe think about eye blinks?)
Can someone please help me? I'm get the expected menuitem error message, too. Here's the code I'm using:
menu:
"Waffles":
y "I feel like eating some waffles this morning."
"*You pop two frozen waffles in the toaster*"
"Boink! *The waffles pop up*"
y "Yum, time to eat!"
"*You eat the waffles and head upstairs to
your bedroom to get dressed for school.*"
"Cereal":
y "It's definitely a cereal morning!"
"*You pull a box of your favorite cereal,
Citrus Puffs, out of the pantry.*"
y "You know what, I feel like eating cereal
straight from the box today!"
"*You eat some cereal, put the box back in
the pantry, and head upstairs to your room to get dressed
for school.*"
"Bacon & Eggs":
y "Hm, bacon and eggs sounds good."
"*You open the fridge and pull out a package of bacon and
a carton of eggs. You crack three eggs and put them in a
small skillet on the stove.*"
"*You open the package of bacon and put a few piece of bacon
in another skillet and put that on the stove, too.*"
"30 minutes later..."
y "This plate of bacon and eggs is calling my name!"
"*You eat the bacon and eggs, clear your plate, and then
head upstairs to get dressed for school.*"
